Jason P. Lorber Comes To Town Hall Theater Cabaret 9/22

Jason P. Lorber, who performs comedy all over New England, kicks off the 2011-12 Town Hall Theater Cabaret series on Thursday, September 22.

The THT Cabaret, now in its third season, transforms the Byers Studio, on the lower level of the theater, into a hip and intimate club. Patrons sit at tables, the lights are low, and beer, wine and snacks are available.

"I love that we use the Cabaret to introduce new performers and unusual acts," says THT executive director Douglas Anderson. "Jason has performed here as an actor but we've never seen his stand-up work, which is famous in the Burlington area. It was time to get him down here."

Lorber is one of Vermont's favorite comics, according to Seven Days' Daisy Awards, and has been a finalist in the Higher Ground 2011 Comedy Battle.

When he's not telling jokes, he's a state representative in Montpelier, representing downtown Burlington and the Old North End, and he has recently thrown his had into the mayoral ring in Burlington.

Lorber will perform at 7:00 pm on Friday, February 25. Tickets are $10, and may be purchased at www.townhalltheater.org., 802 382-9222, or at the THT Box Office (Mon-Sat, noon-5 pm.) Beer, wine and snacks will be available.
