SUMMARY:Artist Demonstration: Loren Doucette
DESCRIPTION:Come see our Artist in Residence in her element as she paints and educates the public about her process. Bring a friend and your appetite\, as the Parlor Bar will be open to the public. Reservations can be made on RESY. \nLoren Doucette lives in Gloucester and is a full-time painter. Her work can be viewed at her gallery seven days a week from June to January where she offers art mentoring and classes during the winter months. Using oil\, acrylic\, pastel and gouache\, her work includes architectural landscapes unique to Gloucester’s harbor\, vibrant floral paintings\, emotional figurative work and abstractions that come from the bones of all three subjects. \n“The main thing is my desire for abstraction and reality to meet. If I go too far in one of those directions\, I get really uncomfortable and try to go back to the middle. I often start off very realistic\, but then it doesn’t feel like me unless I make it reach toward the spiritual\, metaphysical\, and abstract. I like elements that float.” – Loren Doucette \nIn partnership with Rockport Art Association.

SUMMARY:Kevin Farley
DESCRIPTION:Born in Madison\, Wisconsin\, Kevin Farley studied at the famous Second City in Chicago. Not long after\, he appeared in films such as Black Sheep (with his brother Chris Farley) and The Waterboy with Adam Sandler. Soon after\, Farley landed a starring role as “Doug Linus” on MTV’s sitcom 2gether where he was met with rave reviews. \nFarley then went on to star with top billing in the feature films An American Carol and White Knight. Other films to his credit are Crowning Jules\, Frat Pack\, and Joe Dirt 2. His TV guest appearances have been on Hawaii Five-O\, Curb Your Enthusiasm\, Rules of Engagement\, The Neighbors\, Just Shoot Me\, United States of Tara\, to name a few. \nFarley moved behind the camera as co-writer and co-director of Hollywood & Wine\, which takes an irreverent look at an actress struggling in Hollywood. In addition\, Farley directed the comedy Paranormal Movie. The film pokes fun at the “found footage” horror\, a sub-genre popular with moviegoers today. To his credit\, and met with high praise in all the national reviews\, Farley co-executive produced the heartwarming “I Am Chris Farley”\, the first feature-length biographical documentary about his brother Chris\, the late comedy legend. \nPresently Farley is co-starring in F is for Family – a Netflix comedy series and in CMT’s new series Still the King. When Farley is not writing screenplays\, producing or directing\, or on set filming\, he regularly embraces the stage in stand-up comedy. Farley usually appears as the headline act nationwide in clubs such as The Laugh Factory\, The Comedy Store\, and The Improv\, but he has also opened for David Spade\, Chris Rock\, Norm MacDonald\, Jeff Ross\, Todd Glass\, Kevin Nealon\, and Jeff Richards. Along the lines of stand-up comedy\, Farley starred in a New York musical about comedians called; HA! The Musical. \nFarley has hosted many live shows and has been featured on The Today Show\, The View\, Extra\, Fox News\, and countless radio shows. Farley resides in Los Angeles\, California and he is involved with the non-profit organization The American Irish Fund. \nKevin Farley has truly established himself as a comedic presence both on the big screen and off. Multi-tasking as a comedian\, actor\, writer\, director\, and producer seems easy for Farley because he does it all\, with a fabulous sense of humor.

SUMMARY:Jake Johannsen
DESCRIPTION:A native of Iowa\, Jake Johannsen spent three years at Iowa State University dabbling in veterinarian science and chemical engineering before moving to San Francisco and trying his hand at comedy. Jake sought to make his comedic mark on the city at a time when San Francisco was fostering the likes of young talents such as Bobcat Goldthwait and Dana Carvey. Jake made his own comedy debut during an open mic night at San Francisco’s Cobbs Comedy Club. Four years later\, in 1986\, he won the 11th Annual San Francisco Stand-Up Comedian Competition. \nA self-confessed raconteur of weird stories\, it’s no wonder that Jake is one of David Letterman’s favorite comics. With forty-four Letterman appearances under his belt\, more than any other comic\, (not to mention a handful of Late Night with Conan O’Brien\, The Tonight Show with Jay Leno\, and Politically Incorrect gigs) Jake is no stranger to late night television. His late night appearances gave Jake the exposure he needed to land his very own HBO comedy special\, This’ll Take About An Hour. Jake received incredible reviews\, strong ratings\, and a Cable Ace Award nomination for Best Writing in an Entertainment Special. People Magazine rated the special as one of the “ten best television shows of the year\,” and TV Guide named it one of the “50 Funniest Moments of TV.” \nJake is also making his mark on the feature world. Jake appeared on the big screen next to Bruce Willis in the Alan Rudolph film Breakfast of Champions. Jake first worked with Rudolph on the film Mrs. Parker and the Vicious Circle\, in which he co-starred in a cast that included Matthew Broderick\, Jennifer Jason Leigh and Campbell Scott. \nJake’s bizarre take on life and his uniquely intelligent style have made him a regular at comedy clubs all over the country and a former host of Comedy Central’s Two Drink Minimum. Jake has had numerous television appearances as well as his own Comedy Central 1⁄2 hour special. Additionally\, his Comedy Special entitled “i Love You” aired on Netflix and Showtime. Currently you hear Jake on his podcasts at www.jakethis.com.
