Hatem Gabr presents The Next Big Thing, an All-Star Standup Comedy Show, starring some of the nation's hottest comedians.
Two nights a month at the Williams Center!
Lou Perez
Comedian, writer, and producer. Lou is a regular on Gutfeld! Fox, CNN and Open to Debate. He's the author of best seller “That Joke Isn't Funny Anymore” and hosts The Lou Perez Podcast and The Wrong Take debate series. Lou was the head writer and producer of the Webby Award-winning comedy channel We the Internet TV and produces Comedy Is Murder with Free the People.
Boris Khaykin
Sam Rubinoff is a stand-up comedian and writer that performs nightly around New York City. He’s also performed at the New York Comedy Festival, Red Clay Comedy Festival and the Hoboken Comedy Festival.
Sam is constantly writing, producing, directing and acting in sketches, spec ads and shorts. Currently, Sam is working on “Mourning News,” a behind the scenes sitcom about a struggling late night style show. Previously, Sam created and starred in the web series “Dog Days,” a six-episode comedy about the misadventures of a dog walker in New York City. Sam was a also a writer for AOL's “Truth About Today,” a this-day-in-history web series that put a humorous spin on actual events (there’s one for each day of the year).
Chris Faga
Chris Faga is a Brooklyn bred podcaster, comedian, and writer. He can be heard on his podcast High Society Radio which started as an award winning XM radio show. Chris’ animated shorts have been featured in festivals in Europe, Australia and America. In 2017 Chris won the award for “Best Pickled Pickle” at the Lower East Side Pickle Day pickle festival. He figures that’s the day he peaked. He also probably should’ve gotten this bio to the Skankfest producers sooner but always feels like a handjob writing these.
Bryan McKenna
Bryan is a Stand Up Comedian from New York, NY. Bryan has been featured in the LaughYourAshvilleOFF Comedy Festival, a finalist in the Carolines on Broadway March Madness Competition, as well as a finalist at The Boston Comedy Festival in 2021. He has been seen touring nationally opening for Jim Breuer and in March 2020 Bryan’s 1st album, Jim Breuer Presents Bryan McKenna “The Fight is Never Over” under the label Virtual Comedy Network debuted at #1 on iTunes. When he isn’t touring Bryan performs nightly at various NYC comedy clubs such as Broadway Comedy Club, Carolines on Broadway, and Eastville Comedy Club. The weirdest part about this bio is that Bryan wrote it, yet he still wrote it in the 3rd person.
