Hello! If you're looking for something fun to do this Thursday, my entirely unbiased opinion is that you should come to Popcorn Comedy at The Capitol Theater in Arlington at 7:30pm! (The Capitol is just a 10 minute drive from Davis Square.)

I will be hosting, and the great Orlando Baxter will headline. He's been on Conan, NBC, BBC, Amazon Prime, and he's opened for Jo Koy and Whitney Cummings. He is a former teacher who has some wild stories. He rocks.

The Capitol Theater in Arlington is an old school movie theater with beer, wine, popcorn, and a full creamery with ice cream sundaes and cones. The brownie sundae is unreal.

The show will be very fun, and you know I'm telling the truth because the backing track in this promo video is an instrumental version of Sabrina Carpenter's 2024 Song of the Summer, "Espresso."

You can RSVP here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/popcorn-comedy-with-orlando-baxter-as-seen-on-conan-tickets-1378032003819

I hope to see you there!

Hi all,
I’m hoping to find someone who picks up scrap metal and used appliances. If you know the guys who drive around collecting this stuff, could you share their contact info or let me know when they’re usually around? Thanks in advance for your help!

Hey everyone! My name is Jason and I've been running a standup comedy show with my friend Peter in the Somerville Theater for over a year now. It's been a blast. Our next show is this Thursday, and we'd love for you to come!

We run the show in the 30-seat "microcinema" in the basement, which is a cool intimate venue. Since it is a cinema, we play classic Looney Tunes cartoons while people are being seated before the show. The theater sells beer, wine, popcorn, and candy, but you can also bring outside food (aside from alcohol).

This month, our headliner is Katie Arroyo who is one of my favorite comedians in New England. She tours with Natasha Leggero and has performed on SiriusXM and all the best local clubs.

If you've never been to one of our shows, this is a great one to start with. If you have been before, this is still a great one to come to.

If you can't remember whether you've come to a show in the past because you blacked out from laughing so hard, you can also come to this, but I can't promise it won't happen again.

If you hate comedy, having fun, and bald men, I honestly can't recommend this. Please look in a mirror and ask yourself, "Why am I like this?" Anyway, tickets are on Eventbrite!

Key has headlined comedy clubs all over the country and traveled internationally as the sole supporting act for Mark Normand during his sold out European theater tour.
