Stand-up staple Zanies celebrates its thirtieth anniversary with a specially priced two-show night, featuring comics Drake Witham, Fay Canale and headliner Tim Walkoe. Witham is an award-winning comedian and his unique style and material have lead to appearances on Comedy Central’s “Live at Gotham” and “The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson.” Canale is a femme fatale and her fearlessness on the mic and talent for instigation make her a must-see on the local stand-up circuit. Tim Walkoe was the winner of ABC’s “America’s Funniest People,” and his act combines music, impressions and tuxedos for an evening all his own. To promote this event, Zanies is offering patrons older than 30 free admission to the 8:30pm show, and patrons younger than 30 free admission to the 10:30pm show. Those patrons who are currently 30 receive free admission to both shows. (Max Minor)
