Comedy Night at Estrella Negra returns! Tuesday Ma

Comedy Night at Estrella Negra returns! Tuesday March 10th. Tickets available via Eventbrite.

Philip aka MooNiE:
Philip Earl Johnson has over 11,000 performances across the country under his belt and more than double that in lunches. What does this tell you? He’s old. The rest is mostly inscrutable…but he is more than willing to let you know what he thinks about topics like volunteering to jump on a flaming bale of hay or trying to light a cigarette, while it is in his mouth, with a flaming whip. The rest of it isn’t any easier.

Cory Lara is a comedian that dabbles in the worlds of Stand-Up, Improv, and sketch comedy. You never know whether you’re going to get cultural satire, impressions or music parodies with Cory.

Marcos (host)
Marcos is a versatile comedian who started life as the son of immigrants and went on to spend over a dozen years blazing his own trail in stand-up comedy pursuing the American dream. He has performed everywhere from Honolulu, Hawaii to the BMO Harris Center arena. Marcos uses his comedy to bring together people of all walks of life and spread empathy while bringing mosh pit energy to the stage!

Doors 5pm
Showtime 7pm

Tix: $15ea. or 2 for $25
