Friday Night Headliner Announced: Marc Price!

We are excited to announce our Friday Night Headliner, former Family Ties sitcom star Marc Price!  Marc played Mallory Keaton's boyfriend Skippy on the series. Marc came to Nutt Street back in early February and sold out both nights with fantastic responses to each show so we are bringing him back for one big show!


His wildly enthusiastic fans have anointed him the Generation X Comic, speaking for a confused generation that desperately yearns for a voice. They have finally found it with Price. Marc Price dives right in, tackling the issues that are unique to the post baby boomers: growing up in a single parent home, high risk sex, the first group to grow up in the information age, the warped and confused family value system, the strange fascination with nostalgia and the allegations that anyone in their 20’s is a slacker.

Saturday Headliner Announced: Kyle Grooms!

We are excited to announce our headliner for Saturday night of the Cape Fear Comedy Festival, Kyle Grooms! Kyle has appeared on Comedy Central, HBO, NBC and VH1. 


Kyle will be closing out the festival on May 21st at The Soapbox Laundro-Lounge (home of Nutt Street Comedy Room).


Short Bio:  

Best known for his hilarious half-hour stand-up special on Comedy Central and his guest appearances on VH-1, NBC's Last Comic Standing and Chappelle's Show, Kyle started doing stand-up at a local Miami night club while holding down a day job as Art Director at the Spanish-language network Univision.  After a few years honing his act in Miami, Kyle said goodbye to Spanish TV and returned to New Jersey, where he was born. Within just a few months, Kyle has become a regular on the New York City comedy scene.  Kyle has performed at New York's top comedy clubs, including Carolines, Comic Strip, Comedy Cellar and Gotham.  He delivers an honest and intelligent view of the world and gives an intimate look into his life experiences growing up in the American melting pot.  Kyle has a sharp sense of humor that appeals to a broad audience.  Kyle has been featured on several television, radio and Internet broadcasts, including P-Diddy's Bad Boys of Comedy, Jamie Foxx's Laffapalooza, Tough Crowd with Colin Quinn, and BET Comic View.
