One of Omaha’s most popular local shows returns to The Waiting Room with: “The OG’s & WannaBe’s of Comedy & Music!” on Sunday, Dec 21, with doors at 5pm and show at 6pm. The show features some of Omaha’s best comics and musicians along with some of the up-and-comers in the area. This unique show has sold out The Funny Bone and packed Bushwhackers and the German-American Club.
The comedy side will feature BARRY BARGER, an Omaha native living in Los Angeles and working in the entertainment industry as an actor and comedian. Also, performing will be STEVEN NELSON (yes, the boxer) with Host JIM SHEIL. Other comics to be added, please check the Host’s social media for updates.
The bands include NEON SAINTS, a newer alternative rock cover band with some original music. Next up is MCM MAXX, an Omaha indie folk group on the local scene. Also, on the bill is NEXT WEDNESDAY, a newer band playing a wide spectrum of rock covers. Rounding out the music will be THE MEMPHIS PROJECT, a group of younger musicians focused on the blues. They are the recent winner of the Nebraska Blues Challenge and will represent Nebraska this winter in Memphis at the International Blues Challenge.
