Prop comedy is alive and well. Thanks for being a great sport Jimmy Briggs! You treated Sophia (Denise) with dignity and respect 🚨

My little monthly show, Code Red Comedy, was featured on the cover of Charlotte's alternative newspaper, Queen City Nerve, this week.

I went to three different places last night and couldn't find a single physical copy, so I'm assuming people were so pumped to see the show on the cover that they started hoarding and taking all the available copies home to frame and/or sell as collectibles.

Fortunately through the magic of modern internet technology I was able to check out the physical copy online. Shout out to Ryan Stanford Pitkin for featuring us and Dezanii Lewis for writing the article.

We got a new show coming up this Sunday, July 28 at The Evening Muse. It would be nice to see you all there. I'm talking about ALL. Even those of you who live overseas. You have to come too.

Code Red Comedy: Winners Circle's Edition!

Volume 6, Issue 17

ON THE COVER: A little bit comedy showcase, a little bit competition, a little bit obstacle course, Code Red Comedy hosted by Carlos Valencia, Jordan Centry and Kaleigh Cutright at The Evening Muse features up-and-coming comics cutting their teeth, paying their dues, and earning their stripes all in good fun … lots of good fun.

NEWS: Coming off the city’s first Fencing Junior Olympics and Parafencing North American Cup in February, and with the announcement coming quick that Charlotte will be the site of the games again next year, we look at how the sport has grown in the Queen City over the decades.

MUSIC: We flip through the pages of Heaven Seven Magazine and talk to founder Alonso Morning about how the self-published zine was launched and the role he and others play in Charlotte’s underground DIY scene.

FOOD: After 25 years of success, the team behind renowned hangouts like The Workman's Friend, Tyber Creek Pub, Prohibition Clt, Connolly's on Fifth and Dandelion Market have had a tumultuous couple of years. We discuss how they keep the faith and stay on track during a time of closures and relocations.

And as always, check out our Lifeline, Soundwave, Savage Love and more. Grab your copy today at hundreds of locations around Charlotte 🗞️

The latest Code Red Comedy show (Code Red Comedy 9) is available now in full on our YT page, and, in my humble opinion, it's the best one we've done so far. I can't post the link on here because FB will bury this post in oblivion, so here's just a little screen cap inspired by Seth Payne's sassy mouth. I'm sure you know where you can find the link.

Next show is coming up in less than two weeks, Sunday, June 30, at The Evening Muse.

Thanks to all the comics that performed and killed it in this one: Brooke Hayhurst, Mike Byrd, Chris Pattison, SauceGot Joke, Seth Payne, Jordan Ballard, Bryan Penn, and Dusty Cagle.

And my lovely co-hosts Jordan Centry, Kaleigh Cutright; and the wizard in the booth - Joe Kuhlmann.
