Scamps Comedy Presents Juston Mckinney at Amazing Things Arts Center September 8, 2012

With two Comedy Central specials and three spots on The Tonight Show, Juston McKinney is one of the nation's rising comedy stars. McKinney grew up in Portsmouth, N.H. and Kittery, Maine, where he became -- at age 19 -- a sheriff's deputy in York County. His experiences as a young cop patrolling 500 square miles in rural Maine became fodder for his comedy, and success came quickly. The New York Daily News has called him “Hysterical” and the New York Times dubbed him, “Destined for stardom.” In addition to performing at A-list clubs and theaters in major U.S. markets and performing comedy on TV, he has had roles in movies such as the Kevin James film The Zookeeper, the CBS sitcom The King of Queens, and A&E's 100 Centre Street. He's hosted his own show on Sirius Satellite Radio, appeared in theaters with Bill Engval as part of the "Blue Collar Comedy: The Next Generation" tour, and also appeared on a TBS special with the same name. McKinney appears with Jeff Koen (as seen in the film Heavy Times) and Dave Twohig. Showtime is 8 p.m., and material is suitable for adults. Tickets are $20, $19 for seniors/students, $17 for members.
