Kelly MacFarland Headlines Comedy Night at Samuel Slater's Restaurant

Comedy will return to Samuel Slater’s Restaurant in Webster, MA on Friday, January 17th, 2025 featuring Kelly MacFarland plus special guests mother-daughter comedy duo Kathe Farris and Jesse Farris for a night of laughs. Doors open at 6:30 PM; show starts at 7:30 PM. 

With a career spanning over two decades, Kelly MacFarland's talent knows no bounds. Her infectious charm has captivated audiences nationwide and has earned her the coveted title of Best of the Fest at the Aspen Rooftop Comedy Festival and the first runner up in the prestigious Boston Comedy Festival. Two albums available on iTunes, Amazon, and SiriusXM radio, featured performances at renowned events like the Oddball Comedy Festival, the Lucille Ball Comedy Festival, National Comedy Center, and the Boston Women in Comedy Festival since its inception. Kelly has even graced television, with appearances on Stand Up in Stilettos, The Today Show, The View, and more. Her talent has been recognized with honors like first place in the professional category of the 2016 Ladies of Laughter. And to top it all off, Kelly graced the incredible lineup of Comics Come Home 25 in 2019, solidifying her status as a comedic legend.

Kathe Farris is a Boston-based stay-at-home mom, stand-up comedian, and snack cake enthusiast. She hit the comedy scene a little late in life with a different point of view and killer material. After becoming a Comic-in-Residence at The Comedy Studio and a finalist in the Boston Comedy Festival, she recently recorded her national debut with a Dry Bar Comedy Special. With an eye for detail and an understated edge that speaks to grandparents and frat bros alike, Kathe performs regularly at everything from corporate events to a basement show full of crust punks (one time, went great). Her weekly show, Farris and Friends Comedy Hour, even became "The Boston Globe's Critics Choice." 

Shut-in by day, lukewarm comedian by night, Jesse Farris has been performing stand-up comedy around Boston since the age of seventeen. Having recently moved back to town with a Master’s in English Literature and few prospects on the job market, she’s relying on her humor to stay financially afloat. Her sharp, “off-kilter” wit has been known to delight audiences and concern doctors everywhere (she never quite healed from that second concussion). Some of the stages she’s been on include The Rockwell, The Comedy Studio, and The Rex Theatre.
