Comedy Night at The Gallery

It’s our one-year anniversary… plus a month. (Scheduling quirks happen. We roll with it.)

Either way, we’re celebrating a year of bringing carefully curated comedy into a gallery setting — this time surrounded by the featured artwork of Gretchen Durst Jacobs at the Dana L. Wiley Gallery inside Front Street Studios & Galleries.

And the lineup is a monster:

Headliner: Jesse Nutt
A true Dayton comedy icon and fan favorite. Jesse’s sharp wit and commanding stage presence have made him a cornerstone of the local scene for years.

Feature: Johnny Woods
Host of The Morning Woods podcast, Johnny brings a mix of storytelling, energy, and crowd-pleasing punchlines that always deliver.

Special Guest: Kevin Ruppert
Owner of Bricky’s Comedy Club and one of the driving forces behind Dayton comedy. You’ve seen him on stage, behind the mic, and now in our Gallery showcase.

Host: Mike Shea
A sharp storyteller with a mix of irreverence and heart, Mike has become a familiar voice in Dayton’s comedy scene as both a performer and the founder of Gem City Comedy.

It’s a one-night-only lineup you won’t see anywhere else
Anniversary vibes = good energy, good crowd, good times
