ORLANDO | Stonewall Orlando is bringing the laughs to the party with the debut of its first stand-up comedy showcase Jan. 30.
Hosted by Heather Shaw, the free showcase starts at 9:30 p.m., with doors opening 30 minutes beforehand. The inaugural event will feature comedians Shaw Smith, Simon Nash, Christophe Jean, Chris Alexander, Krystal Tholen and Ariana Garcia-Chow.
Stonewall hopes to make the comedy showcase a regular occurrence, possibly doing it bi-weekly or monthly with a changing roster of Orlando-based comedians each time.
“All of our comics are local, all active, and all funny,” Shaw says. “We’re gonna see how it goes. Hopefully it goes well, and people like it.”
After the show, Shaw plans to keep the party going, possibly opening the floor up for karaoke or an open-mic opportunity for aspiring stand-up comedians.
