Description

The Nantucket Comedy Festival presents the return of the Stand Up & Learn Winter Workshop and Professional Comedy Series, sponsored by Chris Stadler.  Executive Director Kevin Flynn and nationally headlining comedians Maya Manion & Mike McDonald will be on island to entertain local audiences and conduct the season’s third workshop for Stand Up & Learn, a comedy education program for people aged 8–18. Saturday evening our professional stand-up comedy show (for ages 18 and over) in the Dreamland’s main theater will feature Boston comedian Mike McDonald and funny mom Maya Manion. 

Mike McDonald has been knocking crowds dead as a full time stand-up comedian for years, and has performed in 50 countries around the world. Having shared comedic line-ups with legends like Robin Williams and Steven Wright, McDonald is a two-time Ace Award winner, and has appeared on HBO's Downtown Productions, Showtime, A&E's Comedy on the Road, Comic Strip Live, MTV's Half-hour Comedy Hour, and the Comedy Channel. In addition to having earned all his cub scout badges, McDonald once stopped some little kids from crying by taking away a guy's trombone.

Maya Manion grew up in Vermont but moved to Rhode Island to break into show business.  Maya was featured on Nick at Nite’s Funniest Mom in America and recently was runner up in Mohegan Sun’s Funniest Comic in New England.  Maya travels as far as she can go in a night to perform, because no one will watch her kids longer than that.

Comedy Shows: Saturday, May 21- FREE Kids Show at 5:00 p.m. followed by a professional show at 7:30 p.m.
Tickets for Pro Comic Show (ages 18 and over): $20
Tickets for the show can be purchased at the Dreamland box office or online at www.nantucketdreamland.org
