Arts & Entertainment

Comedy Showcase at 106 West

"The evening itself will be fun, and not a 'show' typically seen in Winder " says organizer Shannon Mingione. "We're encouraging people to come out, be ready to laugh and bring a few extra dollars too... for the food and raffles.
Tickets can be purchased at the door and are $20 per person (18 and older please). To not pay processing fees to run bank cards, we're promoting a CASH
ONLY evening, and yes, we'll have security on premises". There are only 200 seats to be sold, so get there early.

Read on to preview the four great comedians who will share the stage for this evening of love and laughter.

With a unique charm and general ridiculous outlook on life, Marc LaMotte is catching people's attention. Residing in Georgia, he won the 2009 Athens' Last Comic Standing competition, has been featured on Rooftop Comedy’s
“Daily 8” and was a stand out at the 2011 SLO California Comedy Festival.
Marc has quickly become the new face on the college circuit as he was chosen to perform at 3 National Association of Campus Activities conferences and colleges across the country this past year.

Christian Saslo is a high energy, quick witted and extremely unique entertainer. He holds nothing back as he runs the gambit of his life talking about marrying into a Jewish Family, his parents’ divorce, life in the United States Air Force and his father’s new found alternative lifestyle.
Christian brings much more than original and hilarious comedy to the table, he loves to incorporate quick, visually stunning illusions into each of his comedy bits.

Shannon Mingione is originally from Florida and moved to Georgia, by default, in 2007. Meaning... she transferred here with a company, who in 2009 let her go, due to budget cuts. Now, you can just call her a "national statistic". A writer for over twenty years, she decided to take her abstract mind, oversized imagination and absolute foolishness to the stage. "I love doing
comedy! It's cheaper than therapy. Shannon is raw, clever, unfiltered and unapologetic. If the audience is laughing and forgetting about their woes and worries for the moment, then mission accomplished!"
 
Viet Huynh (pronounced like "hwin") was born and raised in Goose Creek, SC and began his stand-up comedy career in Atlanta, GA. Moving forward, Viet has
used that initial positive buzz to quickly become a favorite at many comedy clubs and venues across the nation. Viet balances his structural engineering career with a rigorous schedule of multiple performances each week at various
comedy clubs and venues. By doing so he has created a new profession by the name of "Comedic Engineering"; the design and delivery of jokes and punchlines. Viet has shared the stage with many well known comedians and has won a few comedy competitions along the way.
