Saturday, September 5


Each Saturday night at 11:30PM, we turn NE Ohio’s premier live jazz venue into the best comedy club around for our brand-new late night comedy series, “Cure for the BLU’s!” This week’s show includes hosts Eric Brewer & Willis Gordon and features Dwayne Duke, Eric Talbert, Brian Kenny, and headliner, Cliff Cash!
 
From cliffcashcomedy.com:
 
Clifton is a NC native, raised in a conservative and religious home by kind and hilarious people. He enjoys making fun of every group and therefore usually hides after his shows. He’s done a lot of things most of which are uninteresting and now owns a local recycling company which is also pretty uninteresting. He hopes to take the dive into full time comedy sooner rather than later. Offer him a movie deal. He’ll say yes.
 


 

About Willis Gordon

Born and raised in Canton, Ohio, Willis Gordon is not only a stand up comic and all around entertainer, but also an Acclaimed Author, Powerful Essayist, Controversial Columnist, Master Orator, Multi-instrumentalist, Singer, Boxer, and Veteran of the War on Terror. His work captures the essence of the classics while still maintaining a timelessly fresh and biting quality in his work. A man who will go wherever there’s an audience, Gordon has performed all over the country in many different mediums and incarnations, yet always remaining unmistakably “Willis.”
 


 

About Eric Brewer

Eric Brewer is a funny guy who also happens to bear a striking resemblance to actor Bradley Cooper. Brewer uses that similarity to his advantage in a charming and self-deprecating way that lets the audience know that looking like a movie star can go from charming to alarming in a hot minute. Brewer has been performing stand up comedy locally for about five years, and is committed to the Akron comedy scene. “I’m happy here, and I really enjoy being in a mentoring position for some of the younger comics. I don’t want to leave Akron for a bigger stage, until the Akron comedy scene is thriving. I want to leave knowing that I built something special in my hometown.”
 


 

About Dwayne Duke

Originally from Cleveland, Dwayne Duke began performing in Tampa, Florida, at the Tampa Improv. He draws his humor from personal anecdotes, observations of the world around him, and his own vivid imagination.
 
Dwayne has performed in many shows, showcases, contests and festivals across America. Notably at the Fort Lauderdale Comedy Club, New York Comedy Club, 2012 & 2013 and the 2013 Cleveland Comedy Festival.
 
Most recently he worked aboard the Carnival Sensation as the Punchliner Comedy Club Manager. He currently resides in Cleveland, Ohio.

About Brian Kenny

Brian Kenny is a gentleman, scholar, Browns fan, and comedian that can be found yelling at audiences until they enjoy themselves all over Northeast Ohio. He is a Cleveland native that has beautiful blue eyes, the traps of a God, and his beard game is on point. He performed on the 2013 Alan Cox Show Comedy Tour, 2014 Rock on the Range, and is a regular at Hilarities E 4th Theater. He has opened for likes of Dave Attell, Norm McDonald, Dom Irrera, Joey “Coco” Diaz, and many more. He loves you very much, and knows that deep down you love him back.
