Garrison Keillor Tonight
2024-08-02 20:00 | The Cabot, 286 Cabot Street, Beverly, CA, 01915, United States
Garrison Keillor Tonight is an evening of stand-up, storytelling, audience song, and poetry.
One man, one microphone. There are sung sonnets, limericks and musical jokes, and the thread that runs through it is the beauty of growing old. Despite the inconvenience, old age brings the contentment of LESS IS MORE. Your mistakes and big ambitions are behind you, nothing left to prove, and small things give you great pleasure because that’s what’s left. (“I was unhappy in college because it was a requirement for an intellectual, but then I went into show business and discovered that people won’t pay to be made unhappy, their kids will do it for free.”)
There is the News from Lake Wobegon, a town booming with new entrepreneurs, makers of artisanal firewood and gourmet meatloaf, breeders of composting worms, and dogs trained to do childcare. But some things endure, such as the formation of the Living Flag on Main Street, citizens in tight formation wearing red, white or blue caps, and Mr. Keillor among them, standing close to old neighbors, Myrtle Krebsbach (“Truckstop”) and Julie Christensen (“Bruno, The Fishing Dog”) and Clint Bunsen. And an a cappella sing-along with the audience singing from memory an odd medley of patriotic songs, pop standards, hymns, and ending with the national anthem.

He has parlayed his success as a stand-up to firmly establish himself in the film and television arena, featuring in several episodes of the hit series “The King of Queens,” and recent guest appearances on “Veep” on HBO and the Disney Channel’s “Bizaardvark.” Jackie is currently seen in the series regular role of “Tony” in “Loudermilk” (3 seasons on Netflix), which is Peter Farrelly’s directing foray into television.“

Period. The End?
2024-10-17 19:00 - 21:00 | Off Cabot Comedy & Events, 9 Wallis Street, Beverly, MA, 01915, United States
*COMEDY SHOW*
Period.The End? is for anyone with or around someone with a uterus (which basically means: this is for everyone). This live event is centered on menopause, perimenopause, and the mental and physical impact it has on our bodies.
Produced and hosted by Erin LaPlante and Stephanie Lazenby (of the comedy series, Couch to Mic), the evening will be part performance, part panel discussion, all joy and empowerment.
Erin and Steph created Period. The End? with the mutual realization that generational silence around menopause, periods, childbirth, hormonal rage and incontinence is the root cause of shame and stigma.
Period. The End? begins with original theatrical pieces by actor/activist Sandi Clark and comedian Monica Dorley, and features the dynamic performer Sara Juli – whose stage work includes Tense Vagina: An Actual Diagnosis.
Then Erin and Steph channel their inner Oprah, moderating an exciting discussion with Dr. Sonja Nelson, OBGYN; and Krista Haapala, author, artist and therapist. They’ll respond to pre-submitted questions from the audience about every aspect of perimenopause and menopause including sex, hormones, no hormones, positive aspects of menopause, and so much more!
