Local comedian headlines comedy night at Railroaders Memorial Museum ahead of Amazon release
ALTOONA, Pa. (WTAJ) — The Altoona Railroaders Memorial Museum is hosting a comedy night headlined by Altoona's Scott Kelley ahead of his Amazon stand-up special release. The comedy show, aptly named 'Laugh Tracks' will take place Friday, Feb. 21 starting at 8 p.m. at the museum (1200 9th Avenue, Altoona). Headlined by Kelley, the show will feature local favorite Ridge Hershberger, the man behind Comedy Farm, and is hosted by Johnstown's Scott Reed. 'Judging by the daily social media feeds, I think we all need a timeout for a moment to laugh.' -Scott Kelley You can read more about all three, and buy tickets by clicking here. Headliner Scott Kelley said he's excited to be there ahead of his inevitable Amazon stand-up debut. 'I love doing these headlining shows in town with those who have been a part of my journey and for those who are seeing me for the first time,' Kelley told WTAJ. 'My humor is a mix between clean, dirty and dark humor as I weave in what goes on in my life and my observations about the world around us. It's also great to bring friends along to open up for me like Scott Reed and Ridge Hershberger.' Currently, Kelley is promoting his stand-up special on Amazon that was filmed on Friday the 13th of September at ArtsAltoona. According to Kelley, the release was supposed to hit Amazon Prime on Feb. 18, but technical issues on the Amazon side have delayed things a bit. It should be noted that the museum is advertising a 21+ show based on some of the comedic content. Alcoholic and non-alcoholic refreshments and snacks will be available.
