St. Joseph comedian Elisabeth Wykert is bringing some friends and the laughs to the Missouri Theatre this weekend.
Elisabeth Wykert’s Comedy Holiday Spectacular will take place tomorrow night. And Wykert will not be there alone, joined by two fellow comedians.
Wkykert says one of those will be a rising star in the comedy world, Sarah Hester Ross.
“She is currently nominated for a Grammy for her comedy special for this year, which I’m just so excited for, so well deserved,” Wykert tells KFEQ Hotline host Barry Birr. “She is a musical comedian, she normally plays dueling piano down in Vegas, but her comedy special is just phenomenal.”
Also joining Wykert and Ross will be Kansas City comedian Jamie Campbell, winner of Best KC comedian this year.
It’s Wykert’s second time performing at the Missouri Theatre this year, after a first show in August that she says was successful.
“It was everything that I wanted it to be, to have this big stage and a fun audience so we could just have a great time,” Wykert says. “And everybody who came up to me after was just like, I just laughed so much my abs hurt, I had such a fun time, and that’s all I want, I just want people to leave happier than when they came.”
After being on tour last year. Wykert decided to host shows where she lives, drawing people into the city
“Which I do have, somebody commented on my video, she’s like uh screw it I’m going to come out here, I’m going to fly from California, person I do not know, and that’s part of the goal is bring the tourism here, because we have something to offer in St. Joe,” Wykert explains.
Wykert says it’s her goal to host three shows a year at the Missouri Theatre, bringing in different comedians to join her each time.
The show begins at 7pm tomorrow night. Tickets can be purchased by clicking HERE.
