Stand-up Comedian James Adomian To Play Asheville Nov 11
On Friday, November 11th, Comedian James Adomian will perform two shows in downtown Asheville at The Millroom. Adomian will appear at 7:00pm and 9:30pm.
James Adomian is a daredevil dancing queen — but don’t you know deep down he’s just a kitten? James was a finalist on the 2010 season of Last Comic Standing, and his debut standup album Low Hangin’ Fruit is now available on Earwolf.
James' many insane characters appear as celebrated guests all over the podcast-o-sphere. He is a staple on IFC's Comedy Bang! Bang! and guest stars on the new season of Children’s Hospital on Adult Swim. Catch James live performing standup and characters across the globe at festivals, comedy clubs, gay bars, rooftop parties and radical political events.
Adomian has a hilariously spot-on impression as Bernie Sanders in his popular live touring performance “Trump vs Bernie” mock debate with comedian Anthony Atamunuik. James is also hailed for his impressions of Jesse Ventura, George W. Bush, and Gary Busey.

Eco-Friendly, Philosophical, Patchouli-Soaked Quipster to Perform in Asheville
On Saturday, August 22nd, nationally-acclaimed stand-up comedian AJ Finney is booked to perform at 8:00pm in downtown Asheville at The Millroom.
If Asheville had a spirt-comedian, it may just be AJ Finney: Stylistically manic, artistically brilliant, and a passion for the 60’s psychedelic scene. Comedy, Jam Bands, and Volkswagens; that’s him - he’s like an eco-friendly, improvisational, sometimes philosophical, patchouli soaked quipster.
"I've never been to Ashville, but It's been explained to me as a magical place filled with beautiful people who've transcended to a higher understanding, or maybe that was the parking lot of a grateful dead show? Regardless I'm looking forward to having a real good time on 8/22/15." –AJ Finney

Comedian Stewart Huff in Asheville July 11th
On Friday, July 11th, comedian Stewart Huff brings his brilliant comedy to Asheville’s The Millroom for one spectacular show at 8:00pm. Opening for Stewart is Sonya King from South Carolina and hosting the show is Peter Smith McDowell from Asheville.

He has been performing comedy for over 15 years, beginning when he decided to drop out of college to become a writer. Currently touring theatres, comedy clubs and special events across the country, Huff reaches past the norm for his genuine — and genuinely unexpected — comedy. His knack for embracing the foibles of humanity and his refreshing originality make him as likeable as he is hilarious. A storyteller at heart, Huff continues to amaze with his clever material and personal wit.
Huff has performed in comedy clubs nationally and internationally, including the Improv in Los Angeles and New York, the Punchline in Atlanta and the Funny Bone in Omaha, as well as countless others. A finalist in the 2006 Boston Comedy Festival, Huff was also invited to perform in the HBO Las Vegas Festival, where his act can be viewed on pay-per-view. He currently lives in Atlanta, Georgia with his girlfriend. There he drops off the various items he collects while on the road, including an antique barber chair, countless vintage photographs, and an extensive collection of LP’s. She likes this.
Opening for Stewart is Sonya King. Sonya can be found sharing her deadpan style of comedy with audiences all over the country. Her slow paced delivery mixed with a very quick wit, equals funny! She’s been featured in Smart Magazine, performed on Good Morning America, The View, and is in a movie coming out this summer called Two Days Back.
