The Ballad of Sterling Longstrom

(This is the PUBLIC version of an earlier PRIVATE event. Facebook does not allow you to change it after the event is created.)

Join us for a night of laughter, remembrance, and a little bit of good-natured roasting as we celebrate the life of our friend and fellow comedian, Ed.

📅 Date: June 6
📍 Location: Skylark, Rock Island
⏰ Doors: 7:00 PM | Showtime: 8:00 PM
💰 Admission: Free (Donations appreciated)
🍻 BYOB: $5 fee (helps cover event insurance)

This special evening will feature a mix of live stand-up comedy followed by a roast-style wake. Our lineup of performers includes:

🎤 ROBERT CROUS
🎤 MIKE LUCAS
🎤 BRANDON GALE
🎤 JENNY LYNN STACY
🎤 AUSTIN INGELS
🎤 DONNY TOWNSEND

After the scheduled performances, audience members will have the chance to take the mic—whether to share a roast, a heartfelt memory, or just a few words in honor of Ed.

Donations will be gratefully accepted, with proceeds going to causes Ed supported, including JDRF and Suicide Prevention programs.

This event is about celebrating Ed’s life with the humor, camaraderie, and irreverence he would have loved. We ask that all attendees help maintain a positive and respectful atmosphere. If past conflicts or personal grievances may disrupt that, we kindly ask that you honor his memory from afar.

Let’s send him off the way he would have wanted—laughing. See you there. 💙
