“Cure for the BLU’s”: Late Night Comedy Series featuring Mike Head Join us every Saturday for our new late night comedy series, "Cure for the BLU's!" Hosted by Eric Brewer & Willis Gordon, featuring Marcus Martin and headliner, Mike Head!

Saturday, October 17


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, featuring Marcus Martin and headliner, Mike Head!
 
Mike Head started as a stand-up comedian in 2005 on a dare. His co-workers and family members thought his foolishness needed some sort of platform. He performed the first time at the Cleveland Improv on amateur night and has been doing stand-up comedy ever since.
 
He has been featured at clubs such as Hilarities Pickwick and Frolic (Cleveland), The Cleveland Improv, The Funny Stop Comedy Club, a host of churches, colleges, and a number of other venues all over Northeast Ohio. He is also an aspiring actor who has been seen performing in plays at local theatres in Ohio in the Cleveland and Akron area. He has also participated as an actor in some independent film projects.
 
Get your tickets today for a show that is sure to leave you in stitches (discounted rate if purchased in combination with concert ticket)!
 


 

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.”
