Stand-up comedy is back at Craft Brew Underground with Maine Event Comedy’s weekly physically-distanced, socially-awkward COVID Comedy Series.
Maine Event Comedy founder Mark Turcotte credits Craft Brew Underground owner Mike Williams with finding a way to make it work.
“Mike configured tables and chairs in the back room to allow for the recommended physical distancing while still providing a great atmosphere for a comedy show,” said Turcotte. “The response has been overwhelmingly positive.”
Including a few December shows to test the waters, the shows have sold out for twelve consecutive weeks.
Shows are scheduled on Saturday nights at 7:30pm. Instead of tickets, comedy fans purchase a table-for-two for $16. There are tables currently available throughout March. The shows are for ages 21-and-over and include adult language and content. Tables may be purchased at maineeventcomedy.com.
Craft Brew Underground is located at 34 Court Street in Auburn and offers more than 200 choices of craft beer, cider, and wine. CraftBeer.com named it the Best Beer Bar in Maine for the past two years.
