Gordon Clark and his Vermont Comedy All Stars return to Next Stage for another unforgettable night of sharp, smart, high-energy stand-up.

The lineup features Eric Dreiblatt, a Burlington-based comedian, producer, and host whose performances span the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, Green Mountain Comedy Festival, and stages ranging from clubs to colleges to basements and even prisons nationwide. He currently hosts the Three Leaves Comedy Showcase at Deli 126 in Burlington, along with a weekly open mic at Three Leaves.

Joining him is Vicki Ferentinos — comedian, chef, writer, and storyteller. A top-three finalist in Vermont’s Funniest Comedian and winner of the Vermont Comedy Festival One-Minute Comedy Battle, Vicki’s acclaimed one-woman show LadyBug Warrior premiered at the Edinburgh Fringe. She has appeared on Comedy Central, Bravo, The Food Network, and WOR, performs widely across New England, writes the beloved From the Mixing Bowl column, and recently opened for Michelle Buteau at the Fallsview Stage in Ontario.

Liam Welsh, Brooklyn-based and Vermont-raised, brings his quick wit and down-to-earth charm. A former regular at the Vermont Comedy Club and First Runner-Up in the 2019 Vermont’s Funniest Comedian contest, Liam has opened for Janelle James, Michael Rapaport, and Jenny Yang, performed at NYC Sketchfest, and creates Instagram videos his mom describes as “pretty funny.”

The evening is hosted by Gordon Clark, director of the Vermont Comedy All Stars and architect of a statewide stand-up renaissance. Since founding the nonprofit in 2020, he has produced more than 100 shows at venues across Vermont—including multi-year runs at Nectar’s, Bent Nails Bistro, ZenBarn, and Next Stage. Gordon is also the oldest regularly performing comic in Vermont, and he’ll be the first to tell you he feels it.

Expect big laughs, big personalities, and a one-of-a-kind comedy night you won’t want to miss.
