Comedy has long been a place to take the pain in our lives and find the funny. Come celebrate the art of morbidity and mortification on stage with us for this special spooky showcase the Eve before Halloween! 🎃
Stand-up comedians telling true horror stories pulling from the original four humors of the Greek tradition: the sanguine, the choleric, the phlegmatic and the melancholic. Fill your life with some meaning this Spooky Season, while also laughing at poop jokes!
Self-identified haunted house, producer of Enlighten ME Comedy Shows, Cindianna Jones hosts a most fabulous lineup:
Our very special headliner for this spooky showcase is CAROLINE MOORE ! Boston standup featured on Betches and the Chronicle as well as the Social Media Manager for the Boston Comedy Studio! Caroline was recently on WCVB’s coverage of “Unusual Jobs Keep Boston area comics in the Spotlight” -“A native of Norton, Mass., Caroline works at Mount Auburn Cemetery during the day, where she started as a funeral planner, and balances her work with stand-up performances at night”.
COME SEE HER WORK MAGIC 🪄 WE ARE HONORED!!! 👏
AMANDA REYNOLDS-GREGG features!
Amanda Reynolds-Gregg is a lifelong Mainer and chaotic bisexual who has been doing comedy for six years. She has brought her comedic storytelling style to local Maine shows like Screw Loose & Fancy Free, Deep Thoughts, and Talk of the Town. She also has been on and helped create podcasts, has a youtube channel, and even sleeps on occasion. Follow her @mainelymandy. One of her most iconic videos is entitled “My Mom is Dead (To Me)” about going no-contact with a parent with NPD. She draws her comedy from some of the rawest and most honest and self-aware places which makes her the perfect feature for this spooky showcase full of hidden ghosts.
ADAM GROPPMAN!!
Boston area native. Adam Groppman got his comedy chops in the highly competitive and oversaturated market in the busy city of LA, recently moved to the Portland area with his family, where he teaches improv, writes/does sketch comedy and perfoms his smart, original, often passionately delivered act around New England & beyond via his personal production company Laffter Effects. Adam draws from his lifetime of experience being a father and a teacher he’s got a lot of material. Catch him while he’s humble!!

JENNIFER ROSE!
Jenn’s rancorous yet subtle style is definitely for everyone but especially the person in your life who does not find anything funny. You put her on a microphone in front of the most miserable person and she is sure to make them bawl laughing. They occasionally will yell out, “That’s the funniest [expletive] I’ve heard all night!” Jenn’s motto is “My Truck Runneth Over”, she is a survivor and has found Jesus. She used to be a goddamn delight, now she is a God Blessed Delight after her baptism, recently. Jenn is a Jane of all trades and a ride or die for her friends. Catch her before she blows up because her stand up is set to be featured on Amazon Prime in a documentary!
MARTHA TRUSCOTT!
Martha is a comic, an activist, an animal advocate, and she’s always down to start a movement! An OG Mainer, Martha draws on her experience recovering from brain surgery and will MAKE you laugh. She sometimes brings props, and despite the brain loss, she has not lost one bit of wit. Catch her while she’s humble!
RACHAEL LIBERACE!!
Rachael’s quick wit and southern belle charm will absolutely hypnotize you and make you fall in love with her. A baby comic, but she is on her way to glory. A librarian during the day, and a hilarious truth-slayer at night. She is quick on her feet and is always hilarious. She may be new- but she is not one to miss!!
KATY MOON!!
Katy is what we refer to colloquially and affectionately as a “baby comic”, a few months in, fresh faced and full of the exuberance of life and friends we all miss! She comes with a lifetime of experience as a recovering Catholic from Bangor, Maine, as well as her dealings in sobriety. She’s everyone’s favorite Subaru saleslady- she is not to be missed! She recently made her debut opening for some national headliners based in NYC at Empire Comedy Club and Work it Wednesdays at Geno’s! Check her out while she’s humble!!

& ANNA CONATHAN!!
Anna Conathan is a writer, comedic storyteller, personal coach, and a sternman on a lobster boat. Her turn ons are the female lobster, fine cheeses, kindness, and bourbon. Her turn offs are mass shootings, government control of female anatomy, lack of universal healthcare, and green peppers. She was featured in the Montreal and Boston Comedy Festivals, and has opened for Paula Poundstone and Jerry Seinfeld. In 2024 she performed her own one-woman show for Portland Fringe. She is hilarious and deep! The perfect story-teller to kick off this spooky showcase!
