✨ Featuring Opening Act Blake Connolly

Settle in for a night of laughter that’s smart, clean, and packed with heart. Headlining the evening is Chris Ruppe, a seasoned comedian known for blending sincerity with sharp punchlines. From warming up audiences on The Huckabee Show to finishing as a finalist in Nashville’s National Clean Comedy Challenge, Chris has built a career turning real life into unforgettable laughs. His Dry Bar special, A Matter of LIFE and DEAF, draws from growing up with deaf parents, the joys and chaos of adoption, family life, and the wonderfully strange moments of everyday living.

Kicking off the night is Blake Connolly, a rising comedic voice who got his start on college open-mic stages in Charlotte, NC. With polished timing, confident delivery, and clever storytelling well beyond his years, Blake brings fresh energy and quick observations that keep audiences locked in. He’s already opened for nationally touring comics like Lucas Zelnick, Rocky Dale Davis, and Alec, and he’s just getting started ?

Come for the laughs, stay for the stories, and leave with your face sore from smiling.
