Charity Comedy Night @ Freedom’s Edge Hard Cider to benefit Maine Needs! @ Freedom's Edge Cider
Nov 8 @ 8:00 pm – 9:30 pm
Charity Comedy Night @ Freedom's Edge Hard Cider to benefit Maine Needs! @ Freedom's Edge Cider | Portland | Maine | United States
Join us for a night of laughter and giving back at Charity Comedy Night @ Freedom’s Edge Hard Cider to support Maine Needs!

Charity Comedy Night @ Freedom’s Edge Hard Cider is going to be a night full of laughter and fun, all for a great cause! Join us at Freedom’s Edge Cider Tasting Room for a night of hilarious stand-up comedy to benefit Maine Needs (Maine Needs). Come out, enjoy some delicious cider, and support a local charity at the same time! It’s the perfect way to have a good time while giving back to the community. Don’t miss out on this fantastic event!

Your comedians for the evening perform all over New England and are ready to help you unwind after a long week!

Host, Mark Moccia. Mark is the founder of Moccia Comedy Productions and has, as of this writing, raised $83,000 in just over two years for local charities from Boston to Vermont!

Featuring:

Bill Douglas. By day, he is a middle school science teacher. At night…he’s still a middle school science teacher. But he travels all around New England, the Midwest, and even San Francisco performing comedy. He has opened for Steve Bjork, Mitch Stinson, and Paul D’Angelo. For more than thirty years, twelve years olds have prepared him for people NOT laughing at his jokes.

Mike Gray. Mike is a Portland, ME based comedian who has been performing throughout New England for about 6 years, although he’d rather not count 2020. It has been said that “he has a clear character” and “…a distinct voice for dark humor.” He was a finalist in New England’s Best Bar Comic competition in 2017, performed at the Portland Maine Comedy Fest, Bricks and Bridges Comedy Fest, and has competed in Last Comix Standing.

Liam Hales. One of the biggest comics out there right now…literally! A mountain of a man from NH with an infectious smile and a ‘let’s have some fun’ attitude is what he brings to the stage. He has a comedy album mixtape titled ‘Please Forgive Me’ that you can find on Google play, Amazon or iTunes.

Leonard Kimble. Leonard Kimble is an up and coming comedian from Auburn, ME, where he lives with his wife, two kids, and a cat he doesn’t want. He spends his days as that IT guy who works on stuff you don’t really care about. Originally from Chicago, Leonard bases his comedy on things he has said to his wife in the car, whether it be about their kids or life in Maine. The sound of strangers laughing at something silly that he wrote in his basement fuels him to his next gig.

In 2018, Leonard’s first year doing comedy, he was a semi-finalist in the Empire Summer Comedy Classic in Portland, a semi-finalist in the House of Bacon Wednesday Night Live Comedy Competition, and a semi-finalist in the Maine Event Comedy’s Tightest Five Competition in Auburn. He also advanced to the second round of The Last Comix Standing at the Mohegan Sun. He really enjoys the semi-finals of competitions because of all of the free beer.

Theo Konstantino. Theo is a Boston-based comic with a risque-yet-relatable style that’s gotten him to write for The Hard Times and perform all over the country.

Julie Nye. Julie talks funny! About her native England, Maine, Hollywood and anything in between.
