Wednesday’s Comedy Zone at The Loft

June 7: The Midlifers Standup Comedy Tour featuring John McClellan • Opening – Kevin Alderman • Doors 7 p.m. show 8 p.m. $10 cover. The Loft at City Tavern, 113 E. Fisher St., 704-603-4656.

Headliner John McClellan is a 20-year veteran of the comedy club circuit, concert venues and fundraiser events, perhaps most recognizable from his appearance on Bravo TV’s “Millionaire Matchmaker.” John is the man who resides in that smoky area between brazen youth and lessons learned, the show’s voice of middle age irreverence.

Opener Kevin Alderman Right after high school with only $100 to his name, Kevin left his small town in Maryland and moved to Miami to chase his dream of being an actor, writer and comedian. Well, sometimes things don’t turn out the way we might think. Kevin found himself in North Carolina running a small window cleaning business to support himself and his family, but he never let the dream die — at the age of 40 he decided it was time to chase his childhood dream again. As a middle-aged man with a new lease on life, Kevin’s covers topics from relationships to religion with an everyman style.
