After spending over a decade up and down the West Coast scene and co-founding LA’s legendary Venice Underground Comedy\, this refreshing change of pace has returned to his native New England turf. An understated powerhouse of comedy\, Devlin delivers unhurried\, incredibly funny sets packed with clever crowd work and perfectly timed deadpan punchlines. It is an unapologetically unique experience that makes putting on clothes and leaving the house entirely worth the effort. Tickets sell fast—grab yours now!

Many of you view our bookstore as a safe space to express your concerns and fears. In response\, we have been active listeners and have provided support in various forms. \nTo help galvanize our voices\, we’ve launched Community Conversations\, a monthly gathering to discuss the impact of current events. Using The 1619 Project as our guide\, we will focus on the themes of each chapter to deepen our understanding of what is happening and how we can better equip ourselves during this challenging time. Where possible\, we will have subject matter experts to lead the discussions\, but we will also rely on each other’s insights.
