Comedy duo Jackie Flynn and Kevin Flynn bring laughs to Fort Myers this weekend
Get ready for non-stop laughter as comedy duo Jackie Flynn and Kevin Flynn take the stage at Snappers Comedy Club in Fort Myers this Friday and Saturday.
The Flynn brothers will perform multiple shows across both nights. Friday's performances are scheduled for 7:00 PM and 9:30 PM, while Saturday shows are at 6:00 PM and 9:00 PM.
Kevin Flynn made his mark transitioning from professional soccer to comedy after winning the prestigious Boston Comedy Riot. He has appeared in films including "The Heartbreak Kid" with Ben Stiller and "Me, Myself and Irene" with Jim Carrey. Television audiences may recognize him as Charlotte's boyfriend Bram Walker from HBO's "Sex and the City."
Jackie Flynn has established himself as one of Boston's premier comedians, joining the ranks of Steven Wright, Denis Leary and Jay Leno. His television credits include "The King of Queens" and HBO's "Veep." He gained recognition as one of the "Men of the Square Table" in Miller Lite's "Man Law" commercials and currently stars in the series "Loudermilk."
And just a quick reminder the Fort Myers Seafood and Music Festival that was scheduled for this weekend has been postponed to April because of the winter weather we're going to have.
