Seasoned comic BC Murphy will be performing Center Stage Comedy at The Firehouse on Friday, June 7, 2024. He will be joined by stand-up comedian Larry Venturino, who is new to The Firehouse. A veteran comic who has performed at The Firehouse in the past, BC Murphy was raised in the small black box theaters of New York City. So it makes sense why his comedic performances are one-man stage shows — most currently “Dadism". Larry Venturino is a stand-up comedian living in Florida but originally from Rhode Island. He burst onto the Southwest Florida comedy scene in his mid-30s. He had already been married and, of course, divorced. Then, he adopted two kids! Join us on Friday, June 7 @7:30 pm at The Firehouse and share in the laughter!

    Seasoned comic BC Murphy will be performing Center Stage Comedy at The Firehouse on Friday, June 7, 2024. He will be joined by stand-up comedian Larry Venturino, who is new to The Firehouse. A veteran comic who has performed at The Firehouse in the past, BC Murphy was raised in the small black box theaters of New York City. So it makes sense why his comedic performances are one-man stage shows — most currently “Dadism". Larry Venturino is a stand-up comedian living in Florida but originally from Rhode Island. He burst onto the Southwest Florida comedy scene in his mid-30s. He had already been married and, of course, divorced. Then, he adopted two kids! Join us on Friday, June 7 @7:30 pm at The Firehouse and share in the laughter!
