Comedians Casey Crawford and Johnny Ater plan to perform at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 18, at Johnson Hall, 280 Water St. in Gardiner. The Maine Event Comedy show also will feature Matt Fanikos and Ian MacDonald.
Crawford’s well-crafted one-liners earned him a televised spot on Jimmy Kimmel Live; and Montreal’s prestigious Just for Laughs Festival. He finds the humor in growing up poor in rural South Dakota, to struggling in New York City, to his current life as a husband in New England. Crawford is a master jokesmith and plans to release his debut album next year.
Whether he’s taking light-hearted swipes at himself and his fellow Mainers or contorting his face into hilarious characters, Ater has left audiences laughing since 2003. He’s performed at the Punchline in San Francisco, headlined the Maine Comedy Festival, and recently provided voice-over work for an Agren Appliance television campaign.
Fanikos was a Boston Comedy Festival semi-finalist and MacDonald recently performed in the Bricks & Bridges Comedy Fest in Lewiston-Auburn.

Johnson Hall will require proof of COVID-19 vaccination for all audience members and performers.
The show is for ages 21-plus and will contain adult language and content.Tickets cost $18 for adults, $16 for seniors, and $10 for live-stream.
