After our first successful show, The Last Draft Comedy Showcase will be returning monthly!
“The Last Draft Comedy Showcase is a variety comedy hour, with a focus on stand-up comedy. Over the last five years, I have had the pleasure of meeting and performing with some of the funniest comics in North Carolina. The last draft is often what comics strive for; be that the perfect joke, a new five-minute set, or a full hour of original material. In my experience, comedy is always changing and a script often represents the last draft before a performance instead of a final product. Stand-up comedy has always been an opportunity for me to share my perspective on life while entertaining a wider audience. So, The Last Draft Comedy Showcase is an opportunity for a rotating, diverse group of local talents to share their unique experiences on stage.” – Jonah Lewis
