Thursday, May 29th

Please join us at Inkberry Books for an evening of live stand-up comedy featuring local performers. We have a great line-up of new and seasoned performers including Zach McConnel, Kari Stern, Sam Shay, Ira Liss, Brit Stueven, and Philip Ogren.

Seating at 7pm, show starts at 7:15. We will be done before 9pm with a goal of 8:30.

* Tips appreciated!

Philip Ogren

Philip remembers when he first decided to try stand-up comedy -- it was immediately after paying good money to watch bad comedy. Now it's his turn to inspire new comedians everywhere he performs with his cerebral and self-deprecating humor. Each show he hosts brings together talent from around Boulder County for a one-of-a-kind, one-time-only comedy experience that you don't want to miss.

Kari Stern


Hailing from Denver, CO, Kari Stern is known for turning the chaos of her daily life into laugh-out-loud moments on stage. A featured performer at the Boulder and Plano Comedy Festivals, she's also opened for Joe Wong, and toured nationally. With two kids who provide a lifetime supply of material, whether they know it or not, she brings sharp wit and relatable humor to her tales of motherhood, mishaps, and the sheer joy of escaping the house for a night.



Brit Stueven


Brit is a multi-passionate creative who's spent 20+ years helping people find their voice through marketing, community building, and coaching. She's the author of Mama Be Present, producer of Moms on the Mic, and founder of The DBP Society, a writing program for people who are tired of keeping their stories to themselves.
When she's not writing or cheering others on, Brit's busy pretending with her 6-year-old, dancing badly in the kitchen, or oversharing online.

Zach McConnel

Zach is a comedian from the Boulder comedy scene, performing all along the front range and in other states, such as Wyoming. He works as an aerospace engineer by day, and mostly sleeps at night, but sometimes tells jokes. Zach's humor is best described as crass with class, which is a paradox but also rhymes.

Sam Shay


Dr. Sam is a 'NeuroSpicy' comic who advocates for NeuroDiverse individuals with a comedic style that is clean, witty, intelligent, and story-driven.

He premiered his 1st 1-hour Comedy Show: "NeuroSpicy: Love, Life, & Comedy on the Spectrum" at RISE Comedy as part of the 2024 Denver Fringe Festival, receiving over 40(!) 5-STAR reviews.

Dr. Sam has also featured at The Dairy Performing Arts Center, performed in the 2021-2024 Boulder Comedy Festival, many other Colorado venues, as well as Austin, Dallas, & New Zealand. His comedy can be found here on YouTube.

Dr. Sam's clinical practice (www.DrSamShay.com) uses data-driven labs to help the following avoid burnout, increase energy, and feel better:

1) NeuroDiverse adults (and coachable teens),
2) Parents & caretakers of the NeuroDiverse, &
3) NeuroDiverse entrepreneurs.
