The Park Theatre's River Street Theatre in Jaffrey will be working up some good laughs at their July edition of Monad Knock-Knock Live Comedy on Monday, July 30 at 7:30pm. The event is part of The Park Theatre's Summer Festival 2018.
The headliner for the show is stand-up comedian, Bob Sheehy. A veteran of the Boston comedy scene, Bob has appeared at Nick's Comedy Stop, Giggles Comedy Club, The Boston Comedy Company and at corporate shows, clubs and bars all over the east coast. Bob has a laid back everyman style and spins jokes about married life and being a father in modern-day America. Bob has worked with Bob Marley, Steve Sweeney, and Lenny Clark.
The featured guest comedian joining Bob is Kristin O'Brien. Kristin is one of the rising stars on the comedy scene. "Auntie Kristin" will make you laugh non-stop when you hear her views on marriage, divorce and dating. She performs at clubs and colleges all over New England and Texas!
As always, your host for the evening is New Hampshire based comedian and entertainer extraordinaire, Greg Boggis.

The Park Theatre first opened in Jaffrey in 1922 and was the center of community life as a movie and vaudeville house for 54 years until it closed in 1976. Purchased by The Park Theatre, Inc. in 2006, it will be rebuilt as a state-of-the-art film and performing arts center, featuring two auditoriums seating 485, presenting movies, live theatre, including children's productions, concerts, and lectures as well as offering a place for business and community gatherings for the Monadnock Region and its 100,000 residents, school districts and dynamic artistic community. The new Park Theatre is scheduled to begin construction in 2018.
The Park Theatre currently operates the River Street Theatre (RST), a small live entertainment and cinema venue, located adjacent to the construction site as an interim theatre until the new Park Theatre opens. Opened in January of 2017, the RST holds the title of "smallest theatre in New England."
