WATERVILLE — Comedian Juston McKinney plans to take the stage at 8 p.m. Saturday, April 5, at the Waterville Opera House, 1 Common St.

With multiple appearances on “The Tonight Show,” one-hour specials on “Comedy Central” and “Amazon Prime,” including “Parentally Challenged” and “On Mid-Life Support,” McKinney is at the top of his game. He just released his 5th stand-up special, “On the Bright Side,” currently streaming on his YouTube channel.

McKinney was born in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, and grew up living on the border of New Hampshire and Maine. In the late 1990s after spending seven years as a Deputy Sheriff in rural Maine, he traded his gun for a microphone and moved to NYC to pursue a career in comedy. He quickly became a regular at Comic Strip Live, Stand-Up New York, Dangerfield’s, Gotham, Caroline’s on Broadway and the New York Times called him, “Destined for stardom.”
