Headlined by Sean Bair-Flannery & comedian Vicki Scaman

Sean Flannery has had an unusual life, one in which he’s faced down hilarious near-death situations and managed to survive. He’s driven a car off one highway at seventy miles-per-hour during a blizzard, careened down a ravine and wound up landing perfectly on another highway below.

He’s also electrocuted himself at a job interview, fallen off a three-story rooftop at a Huey Lewis and the News concert, and attended the wrong wedding twice. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg, as he’s spent the past decade hosting the weekly comic storytelling show “The Blackout Diaries,” in which he’s shared countless stories of being drunk in embarrassing situations.

The forty-six-year-old Flannery grew up in an almost stereotypically large Irish Catholic family in which six kids were forced to compete for bed space in a two-bedroom home. His funny recollections about his family and the one he fathers now—with his wife of seventeen years and three kids ages fifteen, twelve and ten—comprise about half of his act.

Stories have always been key to his career in comedy, as his inspiration to pursue the art form came from an extensive series of letters he wrote his best hometown friends about his college exploits. Crafted in a pre-internet age, Flannery grew popular through old-fashioned methodology.
