Summer Comedy Night Hits the Stage Friday!

​The 36th Comedy Night in the Cutler Brother’s series will be staged this Friday, August 18th at 8:00 pm in Deer Lodge.  Comedy Night is a Cutler Brother’s staple and resembles the late-night sketch show Saturday Night Live.  The show is the brainchild of the Cutler Brothers and it was first produced at the Rialto Theater in 2003.

​Fourteen years later the Deer Lodge Valley entertainment company’s sketch show is going strong.  Comedy Night 36 will be hosted by Jake Nachtigal out of Missoula who was seen in this year’s “Beauty and the Beast” as the role of the Beast.  “I’m really glad I found this little entertainment company,” said Nachtigal.  He added, “It has given me some big opportunities and the people around here are a lot like family.”

Butte’s very own Russ Nelson and “Shell Shock Lulluby” will perform as the show’s musical guest and the cast boasts upwards of nineteen actors.  Kyle Gillette and Stuart Jewell, who last performed comedy in July’s “The 39 Steps,” will take to the stage as well as local Das Froot members Zane Cozby, Jim Cameron, Rex Kendall, and Marquis Dijon Archuleta.  Archuleta has a theatre degree from the University of Montana with an emphasis in acting.

​Other comedians in the show include Jim Tilley, Jenna Singleton, Theresa Cameron, Scott Grazier, and Darryl Barton.  Barton was last seen as the riveting Juror 4 in “12 Angry Men.”  Annmarie Downey and Mariann Cameron both return to the show as well as Butte’s radio personality Carin Sullivan.  Marik Chrisman, who was seen as the candlestick Lumiere in “Beauty and the Beast,” will make this Comedy Night debut.  

Sketches for Comedy Night 36 were written by Patrick, Matthew, and Kelly Cutler, the latter two also performing in the show.  Sketch themes include “Beauty and the Beast,” “Shark Tank,” “Rapper Nation,” and many, many more.  Jenn Logan rounds out the cast as she joins Kelly Cutler on the Comedy Night News.

​Tickets for Comedy Night 36 are $10 to $15 and may be reserved by calling the box office at (406) 846-4096.  Seating is limited for this single night show and reservations are highly recommended.  The doors open at 7:00 pm.  For questions, directions, or more information call the number listed or visit cutlerbros.com.
