Flyway Comedy Club showcases the funniest touring and local underground comedians we can find to Memphis audiences the last Saturday of every month, and this month, we're super excited to have NYC-based, Memphis comedy scene alum Sammy Anzer (Funny or Die, Sirius XM, PBS) headline our February show. Originally from Queens, Sammy started stand-up here while working as a teacher, before moving on to do big things in the Denver scene, and now NYC. Hosted by Zach Williams and featuring a lineup of the usual strange creatures we've seen being funny in other bars around the city, this'll be a fun night to experience stand-up the way it was meant to be--live and in-person.

Doors open at 7, show starts at 8. Tickets are $10 online, but $15 at the door, so get them ahead of time! Also, if you're worried about trying to plan around dinner, don't! Flyway has an amazing kitchen and you can order food at the bar and have it brought to you in the show room. Come relax, have a drink, and laugh with us!

About Sammy:

Rooster magazine says, “Anzer’s performances blend joy with contemplation, and his insightful societal commentary inspires reflection and lifts up the room.” Sammy uses his multi-racial background to examine America. He has performed alongside D.L. Hughley, Maria Bamford, Fahim Anwar, and Neal Brennan; written for Kevin Hart’s LOL Network; and caught ZIWE's interest for an interview. Recently, he was named a Breakout Comedian of the Year in a competition hosted by Deon Cole, his debut album hit #1 on iTunes, he made his debut at The Apollo; and he’s appeared on PBS Roots of Comedy, Funny or Die, and SiriusXM. Sammy's proud to have used comedy to raise $20,000 for St. Jude Children’s Hospital and at the end of it all, Sammy has a simple goal: making people laugh and changing the world.
