CELEBRATION!
MADE BY COMICS & ARTISTS-FOR COMICS & ARTISTS
The Retired Comic Presents: Headliner Jared Stern - February 22, 2025 - Voted Best Comic in D.C. 2023, 2024 (and 2013)
Headliner Jared Stern
Jared has been making complete strangers laugh at him for twenty years and counting. From humble beginnings at a hole-in-the-wall club in Baltimore in 2002, he is now the most humble person in the world, not that he’s one to brag about it. He was recently told that his comedy was “top drawer”, which is where he keeps his socks and underwear, so that makes sense.
During his career he has performed with the likes of Mike Birbiglia, Judah Friedlander, Richard Lewis, ISMO, Orny Adams, John Witherspoon, Jon Lovitz, Emo Philips, and Caroline Rhea. He was voted the 2023 & 2024 (and 2013) Best Comedian in D.C. by the readers of the Washington City Paper. He was a featured performer at the 2017 What A Joke Fest, the 2018 LaughFest, the 2019 Oak City Comedy Festival, and the 2023 & 2024 North Carolina Comedy Festival. His new album, Live On Broadway*, is available on all digital platforms. He can be seen in the comedy special, A Couple Of Characters, available on Prime Video, Apple TV+, and other streaming platforms. He is also the co-Jared Stern of the Between Two Sterns podcast.

Friendsgiving for Joe Spain
Our boy, Joe Spain recently got diagnosed with Kidney Cancer. We love Joe to the moon and back, and want to help in anyway we can. So on Nov.29th, each comic is doing time, plus bringing a dish for everyone to eat. All proceeds go to Joe’s surgery cost, and we hope someone in the room knows the heimlich, because eating great food while laughing is always a smart move. Come out, grab some laughs and enjoy the chuckles for a great cause.
There will be many, many comics on this bill and a total surprise to the audience. Come out and support our boy, Joe!
