Putting the spot light on some up and coming local comics and capping it off with a special treat from a veteran!About this Event
Forrest Shaw
Forrest Shaw spent ten years as a marine biologist before switching to a profession with slightly less stability: stand-up comedy.
A sharp, cynical observer of human behavior, Forrest takes aim at addiction, health, relationships, and the countless ways people make life harder than they need to be. Drawing from his experiences as both a scientist and a recovering gambling addict, his comedy combines personal stories, smart observations, and a healthy skepticism about the human species.
Forrest has performed at Netflix Is A Joke Fest, Just For Laughs Montreal, Moontower Comedy Festival, Clusterfest, and Bridgetown Comedy Festival. He has appeared on CONAN, Live From Gotham, and Jim Jefferies and Friends, and his debut special, Poor Decisions, is available on Amazon.
His writing credits include The Jim Jefferies Show, The Conor Moore Show, Better Off with Hally Leadbetter, and On Tour on Course. He also hosts the podcast I've Got A Problem, a comedy podcast about addiction, recovery, and the poor choices that make for great stories later.
Chadd Loring
Chadd is a comedian from Pelham NH giving his take on everything from his dating habits to his eating habits. Don’t let him get fired up or he might start talking about high school sports again
Awais Hussain
Awais started his comedy career in 2022. What inspired him to get on stage? A speech at his sister’s wedding. He threw in a few jokes, loved the feeling of making people laugh.
Since then, Awais has performed at several noteworthy comedy venues, including Empire Comedy Club in Portland Maine, The Comedy Studio in Harvard Square, and The Comedy Scene at Gillette Stadium. He was also a finalist in the 2024 New England’s Funniest Competition.
With a calm, blunt energy, Awais shares his unique experience of growing up as a Pakistani in New England — with a name that no one can pronounce.
