An Evening of Stand-Up Comedy with Mikey Day, Ego Nwodim, and Amy Silverberg at the Parilla Performing Arts Center

This Tuesday, September 10, 2024, Montgomery College’s Robert E. Parilla Performing Arts Center in Rockville, Maryland kicks off its 40th season in style. Audiences are in for a treat with an evening of stand-up comedy headlined by two Saturday Night Live (SNL) heavyweights—Mikey Day and Ego Nwodim. Adding to the fun is special guest Amy Silverberg, a rising star in the comedy world who will get the laughs rolling as the show’s opener.

SNL Stars Stepping Into Stand-Up

Mikey Day, known for his razor-sharp impressions and unforgettable sketches on SNL, is no stranger to commanding a room. From his zany characters to his impeccable timing, Day’s presence on stage is magnetic. Audiences can expect the same quick wit and hilarious commentary that have made him a standout on TV, but this time in a more intimate, live setting.

Ego Nwodim, another SNL favorite, brings her own unique flavor to the stage. Her bold, fearless comedic style, coupled with her impeccable knack for impressions, has made her one of the brightest stars in comedy today. Whether she’s riffing on cultural absurdities or giving life to outrageous characters, Nwodim’s stand-up routine is bound to be electric.

For both Day and Nwodim, stand-up offers a chance to strip away the props and costumes and connect with the audience in a raw, unscripted way. Their chemistry, talent, and love for live performance will no doubt shine through, making for a night that’s equal parts hilarious and memorable.

Amy Silverberg: A Fresh Voice in Comedy

Opening the show is Amy Silverberg, a comic whose clever storytelling and sly humor have been winning over audiences across the country.

Known for her witty observations on modern life, Silverberg has a natural ability to turn everyday moments into laugh-out-loud comedy.

For local comedy lovers and SNL fans alike, this is a can't-miss event.
