Comedian Kevin Farley set to bring the laughs to The Astra on Saturday, August 17

The Astra Theatre will be welcoming Kevin Farley for a comedic performance on Saturday, August 17. Farley has truly established himself as comedic presence both on the big screen and off. Multi-tasking as a comedian, actor, writer, seems easy for Farley because he does it all, with a fabulous sense of humor.

Tickets are on sale now at www.AstraTheater.com.  Reserved seating tickets are $25 for the balcony, $30 for the main floor, and $35 for the front rows of the main floor. 

Doors open at 6:30 PM with host Curtis Crow taking to the stage to warm up the crowd at 7:30 PM. Comedian Luke McKinney will open for funny man Kevin Farley.

Kevin Farley studied at the famous Second City in Chicago. It wasn’t long after that he appeared in films such as Black Sheep (with his brother Chris Farley) and The Waterboy with Adam Sandler. Soon after, Farley landed a starring role as “Doug Linus” on MTV’s sitcom 2gether where he was met with rave reviews.

To his credit and met with high praise in all the national reviews, Farley co-executive produced the heartwarming "I Am Chris Farley” - the first feature-length official biographical documentary about his brother Chris - the late comedy legend. When Farley is not writing screenplays, or on set filming, he regularly embraces the stage in stand-up comedy. Farley usually appears as the Headline Act nation-wide in clubs such as The Laugh Factory, The Comedy Store, and The Improv, but he has also opened for David Spade, Chris Rock, Norm MacDonald, Jeff Ross, Todd Glass, Kevin Nealon and Jeff Richards. Along the lines of stand-up comedy, Farley starred in a New York musical about comedians called; HA! The Musical.

Luke McKinney was so funny in elementary school that they put him on Ritalin. Now he's on the loose and known as a "breath of fresh air" in the comedy world. He works as a nurse, is married to his high school sweetheart, and together they are raising 4 kids so he's desperately trying not to get famous.

In addition to sharing the evening with Kevin Farley, the Next Act, Inc. invites you to join them at The Astra for future 2024 events. These events include the fan-favorite annual Rock Lotto on Saturday, July 20, musicians Jonathan & Abigail Peyton and Philip Bowen co-headlining on Saturday, September 7, escape artist Michael Griffin on Saturday, October 5, and more.  All events have tickets available on our website at AstraTheater.com with more to come.

The historic Astra Theatre is located in the heart of downtown Jasper, Indiana. Newly renovated with 357 seats, the Astra has main level and balcony seating with a concessions stand offering snacks, local craft and domestic beer, and wine that are available for purchase.
