REXBURG — Hot on the heels of a successful first event, LOL Rexburg will host two more standup comics this weekend.
Headliner Brad Bonar will be joined by opener Brett Blackham Saturday at 7 p.m. at the Romance Theater at 2 East Main Street in Rexburg. Tickets can be purchased online on LOL Rexburg’s website.
LOL Rexburg aims to host comedy shows of the “squeaky clean” variety, similar to what Dry Bar Comedy has done with comedy in Utah.
Owner Aaron Perkins says Bonar’s comedy is unique because he incorporates magic into his act.
“Brad’s not only an awesome comic, he’s an exceptional closeup magician,” Perkins says. “He does that whole right-in-front-of-you, standing-feet-away-from-you magic that you’re involved in.”
Perkins says Bonar appeals to audiences by being relatable.
“Brad’s also a father of four kids,” Perkins says. “A lot of his material comes from his day-to-day life with his family, so that will be fun to experience because that’s the kind of stuff we can relate to, which makes it even funnier and makes you realize we need to bring more humor into our day-to-day and not take life so seriously.”
