Our first show back at Fleetwood's and it's a BIG one!!! Two of NYC's hottest comics Kevin O'Brien and Mara Wiles are back in town and ready to party covid style. This is a masked outdoor event but the bar will be open
Kevin O’Brien is an international touring stand up comedian based in Brooklyn, New York. A regular at clubs and colleges across the country he has opened for some of the biggest names in comedy from Dave Chappelle to Irene from “The Real World.” He has been featured on Viceland, the A.V. Club, and NPR. His comedy has been described as, “Very funny, very depressing” by Youtube commenter Ssgt Griggs. He has also appeared at a number of festivals including Tru Tv’s High Plains Comedy Festival, Laughing Devil Comedy Festival, and Fest in Gainesville.
In addition to his comedic pursuits, O’Brien is a noted pop culture junkie who has written about music for a number of publications his parents haven’t heard of. His love of music goes beyond the page as a regular DJ and member of the punk band Big City Drugs who were named one of the best new bands of 2016 by Westword.
Mara Wiles is a comedian, writer, and actress based in New York City. She incubated in Denver’s vibrant standup scene, where she won best comic at the 2011 Laugh Tracks Comedy Festival and was named one of 2014’s 100 Colorado Creatives by Westword. Since moving to Brooklyn, she’s quickly made an impression on the local scene as a performer whose presence is arresting and whose energy is infectious. Her material is inflected with a cerebral goofiness that has made her a sought-after act around New York, where she’s appeared at Littlefield, Union Hall, and UCB. A comedy festival favorite, she’s performed at Crom Omaha, The Comedy Exposition, Burning Bridges, and her hometown’s High Plains Comedy Festival. Maybe you’ve seen her in Viceland’s “Flophouse”, “Hidden America with Jonah Ray”, or heard her on the Risk! Storytelling Podcast with Kevin Allison. Maybe you haven’t. Either way, she’s excited for you to listen to her jokes and maybe even pay her to tell them.
