Vermont Comedy All Stars return

Laughter is on the agenda as Gordon Clark and his Vermont Comedy All Stars return to Next Stage Arts, 15 Kimball Hill, for a night of side-splitting stand-up comedy on Saturday, March 9, at 7:30 p.m.

Event organizers promise "an evening filled with uproarious performances from a stellar lineup of seasoned comedians."

Featured performers include:

• David Deery: A globe-trotting comedian/writer with two decades of experience, Deery has performed from Berlin to Cabot, Vermont. He brings his unique perspective to the stage, having performed in major cities across Europe and America.

• Eric Dreiblatt: Based in Burlington, Dreiblatt is not only a comedian, but also a producer and host. He has performaned at festivals such as the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and the Green Mountain Comedy Festival.

• Ruth Fuller: A stand-up comic based in Burlington, Fuller's humor explores topics ranging from mental health to relationships. Her appearances include the Vermont Comedy Club and the Portland Maine Comedy Festival.

• Meredith Gordon: When she's not serving lunch at her children's school, Gordon performs stand-up. The 2022 Seven Daysies winner for "Best Stand Up" in Vermont, she has been featured at events like the Gilda Laugh Fest and the Portland Maine Comedy Fest.

• Scott Goyette: An advocate, activist, and bocce aficionado, Goyette's irreverent humor and self-deprecating wit have made him a two-time finalist in Vermont's Funniest Comedian Contest.

Hosted by Clark himself, the director of the nonprofit Vermont Comedy All Stars, this showcase includes diverse comedic styles, "with Gordon proving that you can indeed teach an old dog new tricks," organizers say.

Tickets are priced at $12 in advance and $15 at the door. Advance ticketing closes two hours before showtime. For tickets and more information, visit nextstagearts.org or contact the box office at info@nextstagearts.org or 802-387-0102.
