Leaving their mark — Inked Comedy makes return during Flagship City Comedy Festival
The last day of the Flagship Comedy Festival left its mark on comedians in a special way. Guests filled the 1020 Collective to watch local and national comedy acts take the stage. Flagship City Comedy Festival's weekend performers left patrons in stitches 'Inked Comedy' is a unique comedy experience featuring comics getting a tattoo live during their set. The act was a festival favorite in 2024 and continued to keep both comics and audiences on the edge of their seat. Band Together Erie, Kellar's Comedy Club team up for autism friendly open mic night The founder of this event, Anthony Morelli, said the idea came to him while getting a tattoo. 'It happened here at 1020 Collective with Less Hess, who owns Andromeda Studios, during the 40 under 40 party, 2022. I was fortunate enough to be honored with that, and they were doing live tattoos here, to a less tattooed me. I was making her laugh while she was tattooing me, and that's when the lightbulb came on,' said Morelli. The final Flagship Comedy event took place Sunday evening, featuring headliner Ben Roy.
