Comedy at the Grove is back for our summer event! Join us on Saturday, July 8, at 8 p.m. at the Historic Grove Theater for a night full of laughs with the very hilarious Monty Mitchell. Also, featured is Nashville’s funny Joshua Wagner with special guests Bridgette Martin, Nick Woodruff, and Jessica Carter.

Your host for the evening will be Liz Brooks of Knoxville. You must be 18 to enter and 21 to purchase and consume alcoholic beverages. Birdwell Catering will provide beverages for purchase. Identifications will be checked at the door.

Headliner: Monty Mitchell

When Monty takes those long lanky steps toward the stage, you soon discover that story-teller is very different. He takes your audience through a varied routine pushing them toward disbelief, shock, and appreciation for his comedic talents…all the while they are laughing hysterically at his stories. Monty can take stories ranging from a funeral visit, to a fast food drive-through experience, to a police officer’s traffic stop and make them stories you will never ever forget. By the time you get to the end of his show, you’ve heard (maybe more than you planned to) about his life, his family, his cat, and his latest trip to the low-rent strip bar.

Monty was featured on PBS Tennessee Crossroads.
