Rooftop Comedy featuring James Harrod and Allison Shelnut
May 28 @ 8:00 pm - 9:30 pm
$15
Every Thursday Modelface Comedy brings the best local and touring comedians to Asheville! This week we have local favorites James Harrod and Allison Shelnut on the rooftop at Antidote!
James Harrod is a comedian born in Raleigh, NC. He hosted a beloved weekly open mic for all types of freaks and weirdos at The Odd in Asheville for 6 years. He has performed with comics like Clare O’Kane, Sean Patton and many others. James had a mini-special recorded in 2023 through Four by Three and Modelface Comedy. In addition to comedy, he also works in bookstores and writes fiction. Out of all the comics in his scene James was voted most desperate for approval. He just moved back to Asheville from doing comedy in Denver for two years. It was too dry.
Allison Shelnut once stole a hamster from the mall in Greensboro, North Carolina. It bit her. She deserved it. Allison is now a stand-up comedian based out of Asheville. Allison is known to engage the crowd on a wide range of topics from contraceptives to 90s toys. Outside of comedy you’ll find Allison in the woods with her darling dog, Jacob.
Allison has opened for acts such as Dustin Nickerson, Bo Johnson, Joe Zimmerman , Shane Torres (and lots of other nice white men you haven’t heard of!)
