Matt Pennington makes is headlining debut at the Ottobar. He is one of the fastest rising voices in the Baltimore Comedy Scene! And that is less a threat than a promise. @mattpenning10
ALSO! THESE COMEDY FOLK:
Mo Noor is a Baltimore Bits-based Banterer from Brooklyn and Bangladesh. He’s a regular at the Port Comedy Club and has made appearances at Magoobys, which is, I have been repeatedly assured, a real place. @mo_noor_lol
Trish Smart is a Baltimore-based comic who spent a decade touring the world. With stories of her quixotic life, a smooth delivery, and unexpected punchlines, who draws audiences into hilariously uncomfortable places they never expected to enjoy—and unable to leave without therapy. @smart_trish
Kurt Ryan is one of the best meme creators in all the land and one heck of a great comic! Meme creator is a thing, right? kurtryancomedy
Daphne London is a musical standup, vegan, queer, skater. IN THAT SPECIFIC ORDER @daphnelondoncomedy
Host:
Mike Quindlen has been running the Shit Show for going on 16 years! And he is still alive! He has been an official at (2) Guinness Book World Records. What else can I say? Ya’ know what I’m sayin’! @mikequindlen
AW YEAH SON. YOU KNOW IT, YOU LOVE IT, YOU CAN`T GET ENOUGH OF IT: EXTRA MEDIUM
