AUBURN – Maine Event Comedy presents New Hampshire’s Matt Barry at 8 p.m. on Friday, Feb. 21, at Craft Brew Underground. The show will also feature Al Ghanekar and David McLaughlin.
Barry has been a staple of the New England comedy scene for eight years. He’s performed in clubs, theaters, bars, and apartments.

He’s appeared on SiriusXM Satellite Radio and has opened for national acts including Tom Green, Gilbert Gottfried, and Harland Williams.
Portland’s Ghanekar left a full-time technology job to pursue stand-up comedy. He performs regularly throughout New England and has worked with national headliners at Gotham Comedy Club. Al has even found stage time in Sydney, Australia, and Mumbai, India.
