Fernbank is excited to add stand-up comedy to its after hours programming. On Friday, July 18, Atlanta’s natural history museum will debut Gallery Laughs, produced by Mid Coast Media, featuring nationally touring comedians Mia Jackson (Comedy Central) and Jonathan Kite (2 Broke Girls).
Gallery Laughs’ upbeat evening starts at 7:00 p.m. on July 18 with a DJ, appetizers and special Jack Daniel’s cocktails for purchase, and select exhibits (Turtles, Spirit Guides and WildWoods nature trails, weather permitting) available for guests to view. Comedy follows under the dinosaurs in the Great Hall at 8:00 p.m.
General Admission tickets are $34.95 for visitors and $29.95 for Fernbank Members. Food and beverage available for purchase. A limited number of VIP tickets are available - $74.95 for visitors and $69.95 for Fernbank Members - which include premium seating, a post show meet-and-greet with the comedians, access to an exclusive bar / lounge, a Jack Daniel’s cocktail and a gift bag.
The laughs will be accompanied by custom art designed by internationally-known visual artist and illustrator Cbabi Bayoc. Special portraits inspired by the comedians will be displayed at the show, with a select number of prints available for lucky attendees to take home.
Gallery Laughs will feature the talents of:
Mia Jackson grew up in Columbus, GA and started her stand-up career in Atlanta. Now living in New York, Jackson performs regularly around the city when not on the road. In 2022, she opened for Amy Schumer’s national comedy tour. Jackson has written for Life & Beth (Hulu) and I Love Us (BET+). She has two half hour Comedy Central specials, and her stand up has been featured on This Week at The Comedy Cellar. Follow her on Instagram at @miacomedy.
Jonathan Kite may be best known for his starring role as the lovable Ukrainian cook “Oleg” in CBS’ long-running, award-winning comedy series 2 Broke Girls. Kite can currently be seen opposite Jamie Foxx in the Netflix comedy series Dad Stop Embarrassing Me and the Netflix feature The Curse of Bridge Hollow. As a stand-up comedian, Kite has performed nationwide and internationally to sold-out audiences. He is an expert impressionist, boasting over 250 celebrity and character impressions that include Donald Trump, Vince Vaughn, Tom Hanks and Anthony Bordaine, as well as every accent that you can name.
