ChickHolla Comedy

There's no better way to close out the season than with Keith Djk Purnell! Keith is the winner of Howard Stern’s “Kill or Be Killed” comedy competition. He's made appearances on Last Comic Standing and Showtime at the Apollo and opened for Jim Norton, Dom Irrera, Artie Lang, Rich Vos and Joe Torry. Keith is a ball of energy and super engaging, and I can't wait for him to bring the laughs to Theatre N.

Three headliners for the price of one!

The artist on display for Let ‘em Cook this month will be Brandon T Gorin. If that name sounds familiar it’s because he was the uproarious host of November’s Spin Da Freakin Wheel show. On top of being a hilarious comic and an unmatched conductor of chaos, he produces visual art in a few different styles. On the one hand he produces quippy and tongue-in-cheek works in line with his comedic style. And he also makes collages that are often tonally dark, which tie in sources and genres as disparate as Brandon’s own talents. Theatre N is excited to host Brandon’s art for the month, and we’re excited for our January and February shows to serve as the?grand opening and grand finale bookending the display.

New year, new format. Let 'em Cook is toughening up the competition with just a half dozen select comics performing. The contestants will be made up of runners up from past Theatre N shows and winners from our open-style pop-up shows, with one or two additional wildcards hand-picked by the hosts. With that tighter format, the competition is now going to open the show and serve as the "appetizer" before our headliners hit the stage. Finally, the show will now be beginning at 8pm with the pregame at DE.CO going off at 6pm. Anyone who only wishes to see the headlining event can come out at 9pm.

Clean comedy is coming to Wilmington!

The Let 'em Laugh partner of the week is Meals on Wheels. When people think of underserved communities, they don't often think of seniors, but think about how often you see them at live events. They could use a good laugh as much as anyone, and we're bringing it to 'em! Meals on Wheels, in coordination with the Brandywine Senior Center, has already brought dozens of folks out to our fall shows, and we've got 8 who are on the VIP list for January. If you've got any free time, Meals on Wheels can ALWAYS use more volunteers. I've been a driver for over 5 years, and I can say nothing makes people happier than bringing them a hot meal, so being a driver is the very opposite of a thankless job.

Let 'em Cook comedy is back with a new and improved format!
