"The Real"
John King
With Jay Boc
and Bill Boronky
"The Real" John King has been entertaining audiences from New York City to the midwest for three decades.
His material is suited for all types of audiences and as a seasoned performer, John has no problem switching gears whether he is performing in any type of venue from comedy club to college auditorium.
John King is both talented comedian as well as accomplished musician. John frequently closes his shows with his blues harp and some zany lyrics.
The Funny Stop showroom will be DARK on Saturday, July 4th. We hope that each of you will have the opportunity to spend a wonderful Independence Day with your family and friends.
An "All New" Ohio's Best
Amateur Comedian Contest
Now Underway On Tuesdays
The Funny Stop Comedy Club's current Amateur Comedian Contest kicks off every Tuesday night's line-up.
This new contest comes with a special twist... CLEAN MATERIAL ONLY!
Audiences get to enjoy anywhere from 8 to 12 fresh perfomers every Tuesday at 8:30 PM.
Congratulations go out to Black and Brenton Biddlecombe who came out as the top performers from the Funny Stop's first contest
of the year. You will see more of both of these talented amateurs as they "turn pro" and get the chance to be the opener at
some of our upcoming shows.
If you have 5 minutes of clean material and would like the chance to take the stage during our "open mic" portion of the
Tuesday program, contact Pete at 330-923-4700 for consideration.

Bobby Jay
With Sal Demillio
Funny Stop presents one of the most unique talents to cross our stage as Bobby Jay brings his "Voices In My Head" tour to Northeastern Ohio comedy fans.
Bobby's stand-up act, impersonations, and sound effects have recently lead him to open for Don McLean in Atlantic City, an appearance at the Los Angeles Friars Club, and the "Best Up and Coming Comic" award at Laff Across America.
Don't miss Bob Jay, appearing Tuesday through Saturday at the Funny Stop.
