Amphibian Stage Productions (Kathleen Culebro, Artistic Director) will present comedian Baron Vaughn from Monday, August 29 to Saturday, September 3 at 8pm. Mr. Vaughn will be the fifth artist in Amphibian's 2016 stand-up comedy series.

The breakout star of the popular Netflix series Grace and Frankie, Baron Vaughn brings his absurdist take on such subjects as race, relationships, Cocoa Puffs and credit scores to Fort Worth for a one-week residency to work on new material. Be among the first to hear his latest routine and give feedback to help craft his next comedy special.

Vaughn is known for an act as energetic as it is intelligent, with finely-crafted ramblings that shoot off into pop culture references. Case in point: a commentary on failed relationships rapidly devolves into a medley of early-90s cartoon theme songs - DuckTales, TaleSpinand Gummi Bears included.

Tickets for Baron Vaughn range from $12-32. Lower price tickets are available for weeknight performances and prices go up for Friday and Saturday night. Reserved cocktail height table seating will be available as well as general admission. Attendees also have the option to purchase Festival Passes for weeknight performances along with one weekend performances to see the full development of material throughout the residency. All performances will be at 8pm. For tickets and more information, patrons may call 817-923-3012, email boxoffice@amphibianstage.com, or visit amphibianstage.com. The theater is located at 120 S. Main Street, Fort Worth, Texas 76104.
