Stand-Up Comedy Series at The Cantina

Starting on Friday January 6th, The Cantina at Pier Park will kick-off a new year of Friday night stand-up comedy.  Each Friday at 8:30pm The Cantina will present two professional comedians who are touring the country with their stand-up acts.

This week’s acts include P.J. Butland and Russell Ehrett.  P.J. Butland can be described  as “Six feet, six inches of bald comedy muscle” and “Bold, bawdy, and brash”  Russell Ehrett’s comedy style has been described as “Revenge of the nerd.”  Other headliners who are coming through this month are Rickey Reyes and Stewart Huff, both regulars on the national comedy circuit.

Seating is first come, first serve- so make sure to get their early!  More information is available on The Cantina’s website.

Have a few laughs with your friends this Friday or in Fridays to come!
