Comedy fans may also recognize Van Halem from his appearances opening for well-known performers including David Cross, Rory Scovel, Gianmarco Soresi, Kyle Gordon and Sabrina Wu.

One of his most talked-about bits, the viral "AMC A-List" rant, was even named one of Vulture's Best Comedy  Shorts of June 2024.

The laughs start at 8pm with tickets priced at $18 in advance.  The price will rise to $25 on the day of the show and organizers recommend getting yours ahead of time.  The evening will also feature performances from comic Noah Crow and host Stone Casad, creating a full lineup of touring and regional comedy talent.
