the show
Stand Up Stick Up is a hilarious monthly comedy show in Lynn, MA, featuring prominent and up-and-coming comics from across New England and beyond.
Every third Thursday, the show takes place in a former historic bank turned intimate black-box theatre, “The Vault”, which inspires the show’s heist theme.
Audiences are guaranteed a felonious-ly funny lineup with a mix of fresh, diverse voices. The first dedicated, regular comedy stop in Lynn, Stand Up Stick up is establishing itself as a hot ticket for locals and visitors alike, while becoming a new hub for comics on the North Shore of Massachusetts.
With a capacity of 150 people, the Neal Rantoul Vault Theatre offers an intimate setting for artists and performers to connect with their fans and showcase their talents.
The venue is curated by the Lynn Music Foundation, a non-profit startup centered on creative community collaboration in music and the arts.
the venue
The Vault lies within the LynnArts building at 25 Exchange Street, in the heart of the Downtown Lynn Cultural District.
Downtown Lynn is home to a vibrant artistic scene and world-class restaurants. But it needs more nighttime programming for local live entertainment seekers, making the Stand Up Stick Up comedy show a welcome addition to downtown happenings.
