What do you all think of an open mic and sno-cones this Saturday evening in Springfield? I’m thinking 6:30-7:30pm Kids open mic and 8:00 Adult open mic. If I have enough interest, I’ll get things going.

CALLING ALL stage-fearing funny people!!
Do you have a joke or bit you think is hilarious but too scared to tell it infront of a crowd? Send them to me, and I’ll try it out for you at this private event I’m doing this Saturday, and report back how it went over! I’ll be having people spin a wheel with options including dad jokes, adult jokes and write-in jokes that I receive from you!
Submit them by Saturday, May 30th morning please.

Omg what a wonderful debut of our mobile pop-up stage at The Enos Park Neighborhood Garden! Special thanks to Tim Laffey, Robert Quance and Kathy Brennan for entertaining the crowd. And to Ryan for making sure the stage was secure. Great job to all the kids who came up to tell jokes! I’m excited for our next show and to offer more kid friendly shows as well! I’ll keep you posted! And I was able to back this camper into my driveway with an impressive 20 point turn 😜🚘

We have 2 large events scheduled in July and many in the works, BUT I really wanna get the stage out there and put a comedy show or open mic soon!
Does anyone have a large plot of land I could use? Any local food trucks interested?
