Get ready for an unforgettable night of laughs at Hashtag Comedy Club in the heart of Columbus’ Short North Arts District! Join us on Friday March 14 for an evening of top-notch comedy featuring two of the funniest headliners around, Dino Tripodis and Mike Larsen.
Dino Tripodis is a creator always striving to do and be more. Born in Gary, Indiana, and having grown up in a suburb of Chicago before spending time on a small island in Greece, Dino has truly seen and done it all. His journey into comedy was anything but ordinary: after working as a private investigator, he stumbled into the comedy world as a much-needed escape from the demands of his profession. Though his first attempt at stand-up was a “miserable” failure, Dino came back two weeks later to take home a win. From there, his career skyrocketed—winning the Johnnie Walker comedy competition in Columbus, becoming a beloved morning radio host on Sunny 95 for 24 years, and creating the award-winning podcast *Whiskey Business*, which celebrates unlikely stories between friends... over whiskey, of course. Dino prides himself on his ability to listen and connect with the humanity of others, making him a sought-after speaker, performer, and host. He’s currently working on a novel and a four-part memoir for the Pan-Icarian Brotherhood of America.
Mike Larsen, a comedy legend, got his start in the 80s San Francisco comedy boom. A master joke writer, Mike’s work caught the attention of top headliners, who brought him on the road as both an opening act and writing partner. His career has spanned clubs in 43 states and overseas, with TV appearances on HBO, Showtime, and *The Tonight Show with Jay Leno*. His television writing credits include hit shows like *The Drew Carey Show*, *Grace Under Fire*, and *Ellen*, and he earned an Emmy nomination for his work on *Real Time with Bill Maher*. Now based in Ohio, Mike teaches a popular joke-writing class at Hashtag Comedy Co and mentors the next generation of comics.
Rounding out the night are two rising stars of comedy, Hannah Romes and Tanya Vora, who are sure to keep the laughs rolling all night long.
**Doors open at 6:45 pm**, with the show starting promptly at **7:00 pm** and running until **8:15 pm**. It’s the perfect way to kick off your night in the Short North!
