LEWISTON — The Franco- American Heritage Center is holding three nights of standup comedy over the next few months, with the first taking place tonight with Rob Steen, a Boston comedian who has appeared on “The Late Show with David Letterman,” at the top of the bill.
The show starts at 8 p.m. in the Franco Center’s downstairs Heritage Hall, with doors opening at 7 p.m.
Each comedy night will consist of performances by three comedians.
In addition to the headline set by Steen, tonight’s show includes warmup sets by Steve Guilmette, a comedian from New Hampshire who has performed at the Boston Comedy Festival, and Maine’s Chuck Grover, a recent runner up in a contest seeking Portland’s funniest comic.
“We’re committed to trying it as a first step in our efforts to make the Franco Center a more vibrant place for younger audiences,” Franco Center Executive Director Louis Morin said.
But not too young.
The comedy shows are limited to audiences 21 and older.
Tickets are $10 in advance and may be purchased in person at the Franco Center box office, 46 Cedar St., online at www.FrancoCenter.org or by phone at 689-2000.
