Has life been so stressful lately that you haven’t had the time to do activities that you enjoy doing? Whether that’s watching your favorite movie or hanging out with your closest friends, it’s clear that it’s been way too long since you have had real fun. It’s okay, relax. Your one-stop destination for live entertainment has arrived because the Good Vibes Comedy Festival is back to make sure their attendees leave grinning ear to ear with their mouths sore from nonstop laughing.
Hosted by John Miller and Nathan Jackson, and sponsored by several local businesses like Hi Tone Cafe and Charlie Vergo’s Rendezvous, the Good Vibes Comedy Festival will feature several comedians that will be headlining this Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. “So we have Carlos Hernandez. He’s from Miami. [Then we have] Erica Nicole Clark. [Next] is Joshua Black; he was voted one of Nashville’s best stand-up comics last year, I believe. And our local headliner is a young man named Wild Beale,” says Miller.
Black will be headlining Friday night, Clark and Hernandez will be there Saturday night, and last but not least, Wild Beale will be representing the Bluff City on Sunday night. In total, there will be 14 shows across three days with more than 40 comedians performing.
Those who are up-and-coming comedians or improv artists can apply to be featured as a headliner for next year’s festival. “Next year, anyone can submit. All [you] have to do is send a video to the submission form, fill out the application, pay the fee, and we’ll be watching your video,” says Miller. “And the selection process is by committee. So it’s me, [Nathan Jackson], and a few other people [who] will vote.”
