Coming Up Next in Our Barnstormer Series: Fear of Heights
Kevin Flynn is a stand-up comedian, professional soccer player, actor, television host, and Founder/Executive Director of the Nantucket Comedy Festival, which benefits Stand Up and Learn, a comedy education program that teaches kids life skills through the medium of stand-up comedy.
Fear of Heights examines the American experience through the lens of his Irish-American family. Flynn’s father and grandfather were both steelworkers and inspired the title of this work. This show explores what it means to be a man, how one generation measures success relative to their forebears — themes that run throughout this hilarious biographical work.
Part of the Barnstormer series, held in the Lucille Lortel White Barn Center. General admission; Seating unreserved.
NOTE: Barnstormer events are limited to 70 attendees.
