Comedian Juston McKinney

July 3 & 4  •  7:30 PM  •  Rated PG-13

Does the summer really start until Juston McKinney arrives at the Playhouse for 4th of July Weekend?

The tradition continues, but Juston is with us for two nights this year, and we can’t wait to have twice the fun!

Juston McKinney is one of New England’s most beloved comedians, with multiple appearances on The Tonight Show, one-hour stand-up specials on Comedy Central and Amazon Prime—including Parentally Challenged and On Mid-Life Support—and his fifth special, On the Bright Side, currently streaming on his YouTube channel. Born in Portsmouth, NH and raised near the New Hampshire–Maine border, Juston spent seven years as a Deputy Sheriff in rural Maine before moving to New York City in the late 1990s to pursue comedy, quickly becoming a regular at nearly every major club and earning praise from The New York Times as “destined for stardom.” His career includes development deals with Warner Brothers, CBS, IFC, and Comedy Central; multiple Comedy Central appearances; Tonight Show sets with both Jay Leno and Conan O’Brien; a Showtime special with Rob Gronkowski; and performances at TD Garden with Denis Leary’s Comics Come Home, along with TV and film credits such as The King of Queens, 100 Centre Street, The Zookeeper, and Here Comes the Boom.
