AUBURN — Shane Mauss, a rising star in the world of comedy, will headline Comedy Night on Saturday, March 6, at the Fireside Inn & Suites. The comic is scheduled to release his first CD through Comedy Central Records on March 9 and to appear March 12 on his debut TV special, “Comedy Central Presents: Shane Mauss.”

Also performing at Fireside will be Maggie McDonald and Dan Crohn.

The show is rated R, for adults only.

Originally from La Crosse, Wis., Mauss moved to Boston in 2004, to pursue his childhood dream of becoming a stand-up comedian. In fewer than three years, he caught his big break in 2007 when he was awarded Best Stand Up Comic at HBO’s prestigious US Comedy Arts Festival.

Shane’s TV credits include appearances on “Late Night with Conan O’Brien,” Comedy Central’s “Live at Gotham” and Showtime’s “Comics Without Borders;” regular appearances on “The Bob and Tom Show,” BBC’s “The World Stands Up” and Playboy TV’s “Night Calls.”

In the last year alone, Mauss performed in The Montreal Just For Laughs Festival, The Comedy Central South Beach Comedy Festival in Miami and The Cat Laughs Comedy Festival in Kilkenny, Ireland.

In the first half of 2010, he will also perform in The Sydney Comedy Festival, The New Zealand Comedy Festival and Rooftop Comedy’s Aspen Comedy Festival. Having performed all over Europe and Australia, Shane is now an up-and-coming international headliner.

The Fireside Inn offers comedy every Saturday night with top headliners from around New England.

Showtime is 8 p.m. Tickets are $14 at the door, $12 with a reservation. Doors open at 7:30 p.m. For reservations, call 777-1777. The Fireside Inn is at 1777 Washington St., off Exit 75 of the Maine Turnpike.
