Enjoy the Best of Stand Up! Geneseo Native, Amy Brown, Returns to Comedy at the Carlson on October 21

ROCHESTER, NY, September 25, 2023 - Amy Brown Comedy is a love letter to all the nerds living their best lives. If you enjoy The Big Bang Theory, you will love her. This international touring stand-up comedian (and more importantly) Geneseo native, returns to comedy at The Carlson located at 50 Carlson Rd, Rochester, NY 14610 on Saturday, October, 21st at 7 pm for a stand-up comedy night of Southern Fried Funny. The last time Amy Brown performed at the Carlson, she was a finalist in the Funniest Person in Rochester Competition in 2022.

Searching for a place where adding mayonnaise to any food rebrands it as “salad,” Amy moved to Atlanta 10 years ago, and now she is ready to return home and share her observations. She is bringing fellow killer comedian, Holly Ballantine, (an actual Southern) so you know you are getting the real deal. Nothing on Netflix is going to be as funny as this night, so be sure to not miss these big belly laughs.

To purchase tickets to the comedy show at The Carlson for $21.40 (including fees): https://ci.ovationtix.com/35843/production/1175002?performanceId=11340901

Amy Brown also hosts a weekly podcast and video series on YouTube called “Nerdy For,” where she asks funny folks what they are nerdy for.

Other comedy accolades include:

• Opening for Real Housewives of New York Sonja Morgan in Sonja In Your City
• The World Series of Comedy 2022 (Ohio finalist, Georgia and Las Vegas)
• The Rochester Fringe Festival
• Best of Atlanta: Laughing Skull Lounge
• Oak City Comedy Festival
• The North Carolina Comedy Festival
• West End Comedy Fest
• The Ladies Room Comedy Festival

What people are saying:
“Amy did an amazing and hilarious job hosting the Laugh Out Loud Comedy Show at The Warren City Club in October. Her witty comedy and crazy stories had the crowd in stitches! She kept the audience laughing throughout the show, and the other comics played off her creative introductions. Amy is not to be missed as a comic and a real catch as a host!” — KRISTI WARREN EVANS, THE WARREN CITY CLUB

“Amy is a natural talent with a unique comedic style suitable for any crowd. Having her in my class was a thrill and I’m so excited to see her hard work paying off on some of Atlanta’s most prestigious stages. Do yourself a favor and HIRE HER!” — JOEL BYARS
