GARDINER — Maine Event Comedy presents 20-year comedy veteran Steve Scarfo at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 19, at Johnson Hall Performing Arts Center, 280 Water St. Jody Sloane will be the evening’s featured comedian along with host Mark Turcotte.

Scarfo, a veteran of the Boston comedy scene, was noticed by The Boston Globe at his first performance. His high energy coupled with his bizarre viewpoint has kept audiences laughing throughout New England. He’s performed at Comedy Connections in Boston and Portland, Nick’s Comedy Stop, Laugh Boston, Comix at Foxwoods, and with Laugh Riots Productions. He’s worked with national acts including Dave Coulier, Victoria Jackson, and Jeff Dunham. A trained actor, Scarfo has also appeared in the A&E real-life drama “Caesars 24/7.” He was prominently featured in the 2004 Red Sox World Series MasterCard commercial, and appears in several movies, including “Fever Pitch,” “The Departed” and “The Fighter.”

Sloane cut her entertainment teeth doing her sit-down shtick as a cheeky “Conducktor” named Penny Wise on the Boston Duck Tours. She logged over 4,000 tours, leading her to be equally entertaining as stand-up comedian. She’s now a regular at esteemed comedy venues, including Headliners Comedy Clubs throughout New England, Gotham Comedy Club in New York City and Comix at Mohegan Sun. 

Turcotte was a recent selection to Boston, Cleveland and North Carolina comedy festivals and will soon make his national television debut on Gotham Comedy Live.

Tickets are $16 for adults, $14 for seniors when bought in advance; and $19 for adults, $17 for seniors at the door the night of the show. Tickets may be purchased at johnsonhall.org or by calling the office between noon and 3 p.m. Tuesday-Friday. The show is for ages 21-plus and will contain adult language and content.
