Gone Rogue - Night of Comedy featuring Matt Barry

Screw Flowers - Bring on the Laughs!!!!

This Valentine’s Day Weekend, Gone Rogue - Night of Comedy is back at Backyard Brewery & Kitchen bringing a lineup fit for couples and singles alike with Headliner, Matt Barry!

Matt Barry has been a staple of the New England comedy scene for eight years. He’s performed in clubs, theaters, bars, and apartments. In 2013 he was crowned “New England’s Best Bar Comic” and in 2015, he took third place in “Last Comix Standing,” a competition between 120 comedians at Mohegan Sun Casino. He’s appeared on SiriusXM Satellite Radio and has opened for national acts including Tom Green, Gilbert Gottfried, and Harland Williams.

Hosted by Mona Forgione, the night opens with comedians Michael Millett, Liz Lora, and Boston's own Janet McNamara.

Janet McNamara is a Boston-based comic who’s regaled audiences all over New England with her authentic conversational style and awkwardly charming energy. Janet won the 2014 BeanTown Comedy Riots and has been featured Women in Comedy Festival, Ashville Comedy Festival and Burbank Comedy Festival, and was a finalist in the Boston Comedy Festival. You might recognize Janet as being the 'Golden Idol’ winner for the the worst audition of American Idol season 10, an appearance that introduced a national audience to her joie de vivre and infectious energy. Janet doesn’t speak french.

A New Hampshire native, Liz has lived and traveled all over the country doing art, music, and comedy along the way. She has been referred to as “a nightmare” by countless local men and “brilliant” by many drunk girls. Her various jobs, men, adventures and living situations have led to having plenty of stories to tell if literally nothing else. She would like to think of herself as New Hampshire’s second most successful bard after Odds Bodkin. Because she hasn’t had any success, but there are also no other bards.

Michael Millett is a Massachusetts native, firmly planted in the New Hampshire comedy scene. Michael’s comedy style seamlessly blends jokes to make you ponder with quick-witted crowd work, leaving audiences laughing, while keeping them on their toes. The product of a vibrantly colorful upbringing, Michael Millettett is now the producer and host of Gray Area Comedy in Manchester, NH.

With 5 surgical procedures, four pets, three kids, two shoulders full of anchors and one retired Roller Derby jersey in her closet, Mona Forgione is a Mombot by day/Stand-up Comedian by night. This Chelsea, Massachusetts native, now unsettled in New Hampshire, first stepped on stage to share her riotous tales after a journey of self-care for a midlife crisis landed her in the surgical center… twice. Now, fully retired from skating, Mona’s focus is sharing takes on her life’s most ludicrous moments “for the greater good”. Where bitter meets motherly, this Stay-at-Home mother of three has gone rogue.

Get there early to enjoy dinner downstairs at the Backyard Brewery and Kitchen, then come on up to get your laugh on.
