LEWISTON — Five of Maine’s funniest up-and-coming comedians will perform a night of stand-up comedy at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Oct. 19, at The Dolard and Priscilla Gendron Franco Center, 46 Cedar St.

Join Lewiston comedian Dawn Hartill as she hosts the Fall Comedy Showcase with a night of stand-up comedy featuring Brian Brinegar, Ian Clark, Julie Poulin and Leonard Kimble.

Brian Brinegar is the three-time winner of Maine’s Best Comedian by the Portland Phoenix readers. He was featured on the Comedy Time Network and has performed at the world famous Comedy Store in Los Angeles, the Ice House in Pasadena and played the bartender in Toby Keith’s “I Love This Bar” music video.

Monmouth’s Julie Poulin made it to the semi-finals of a recent contest in Portland. She’s also part of the hugely successful Mystery for Hire and Mainely Improv troupes. Chicago native Leonard Kimble, who now lives in Auburn with his family, is a brilliant up-and-coming comedian and will also perform.
