This show is 21+<br />
7 dollar cover at the door</p>
<p>Byrdfeeders at 6:30pm<br />
Comics at 7:30pm<br />
And The Milkman&#8217;s Union at 9pm</p>
<p><strong>The Comics</strong></p>
<p>Kelly MacFarland has an extensive resume including comedy clubs, theaters, colleges and television appearances<br />
including Comedy Central, Today Show and Cartoon Network. In 2010, Kelly was voted Best of the Fest at the<br />
Aspen Rooftop Comedy Festival. Kelly captivates the crowd with her charm and non-stop energy. Her playful point<br />
of view makes her irresistible. Kelly is a must see! www.kellymacfarland.com</p>
<p>Sean Sullivan has appeared on Comedy Central&#8217;s Live at Gotham and will be competing in the Great American Comedy Festival in Norfolk, Nebraska in June. He is undoubtedly the greatest living comedian under the age of thirty and also over the age of twenty-six and under twenty-eight born in June. His cock is also impressively average.<br />
www.seansullivancomedy.com</p>
<p>Josh Gondelman is the winner of the 2010 Laughing Skull Comedy Festival. He is generally very pleasant and well-mannered.<br />
www.twitter.com/joshgon</p>
<p>Matt D. was voted best Boston Comedian by the Boston Phoenix in 2011. The booker of the David Letterman show hand picked Matt to be one of twenty comics to compete in the 2011 Johnny Carson Great American Comedy Festival. You can hear his jokes on XM Sirius satellite radio, NBC, or via echo if he performs near a canyon or cave. www.simplymattd.com</p>
<p>Andrea Henry is like a Long Island ice tea. Sure, she may look innocuous, but her jokes will tear your face off like a concoction of vodka, gin, rum, and tequila. Andrea Henry&#8217;s credits include: Last Comic Standing- NYC Showcase, Nickelodeon&#8217;s Search for America&#8217;s Funniest Mom, Comedy Central&#8217;s Open Mic Fight, Comic in Residence at The Comedy Studio, Yuk Yuk&#8217;s Great Canadian Laugh Off, Butterfinger Stand Up Show Down Comedy Finalist (she won a year&#8217;s supply of Butterfingers).</p>
<p>Gary Petersen is without a doubt one of the rising stars of Boston comedy. His unique brand of comedy draws in crowds, guiding them through the ridiculousness of life, highlighting the humor in ordinary situations and imagining even funnier ones.<br />
www.garypetersencomedy.com</p>
<p>Tim Vargulish has been doing comedy since 2006 all over the New England area. His quirky style and nerdy sense of humor has made him a favorite of comedy fans all over. Tim writes for www.unscenecomedy.com</p>
<p>The Bands</p>
<p>The Byrdfeeders are four guys from various bands around town who really dig<br />
the music of the early (1965-67) Byrds. After wondering why there wasn&#8217;t<br />
already a band playing this music, they decided the time was right.</p>
<p>The Milkman&#8217;s Union is an enigmatic three-piece based in Portland,<br />
Maine. While their sound can most easily be characterized as<br />
indie-rock, idiosyncrasies abound. Drawing from classical, jazz,<br />
electronic, and various non-western musics, the band infuses rock<br />
grooves with deft melodic hooks and rhythmic flourishes that combine<br />
for an original sound.</p>
<p>Over the past two years, their sound has been broad enough to share<br />
the stage with incredibly diverse acts such as Deerhunter, Santigold,<br />
The Morning Benders, Ben Kweller, Wintersleep, Woods, S. Carey, White<br />
Hinterland, and Ducktails. They&#8217;ve grown popular in the New England<br />
college circuit and have played at Dartmouth, Wesleyan, Trinity,<br />
Middlebury, Wellesley, Mt. Holyoke, UMaine, Bowdoin, Bates, Clark, and<br />
Colby in the past year alone. They were recently named the Deli<br />
Magazine&#8217;s New England artist of month for March and nominated for the<br />
Portland Phoenix&#8217;s Indie Act of the Year. Their latest album &#8216;Roads<br />
In&#8217; is currently in rotation at more than 100 independent radio<br />
stations across the U.S. and Canada.</p>
<p>They have a two nice videos up here: http://vimeo.com/19237394 and here:<br />
http://vimeo.com/22571717. There&#8217;s also four tracks from their last<br />
album up at www.myspace.com/themilkmansunion. </p>
