In a remarkable display of comedic talent, a local Wilmington comedian readies the launch of his debut comedy special with a remarkable sold-out performance at Thalian Hall. In an evening of entertainment captured by Lighthouse Films, “Cliff Cash: The Long Road” unfolded before a packed audience of 550 attendees, setting the stage for a theatrical release.
Preparations are underway for the grand unveiling of the special at the Brooklyn Arts Center in downtown Wilmington, scheduled for October 20 at 6 p.m. Anticipation is buzzing for the lively premiere event, promising a glamorous affair complete with a red carpet, professional photography services, cocktail hour, and more. Interested attendees can secure their tickets for the premiere to partake in the excitement.
In a noteworthy gesture of compassion, the Brooklyn Arts Center recently announced a valuable initiative on Facebook, pledging to allocate 50% of the ticket sales profits from the event towards supporting disaster relief efforts in Western North Carolina. This act of solidarity aims not only to entertain and uplift spirits through laughter but also to extend a hand of hope to those grappling with the aftermath of the catastrophic hurricane affecting the region.
Cliff Cash shared insights on his comedy journey and the upcoming premiere during an appearance on Good Morning Carolina. Reflecting on the profound significance of his inaugural special, Cash chose to aptly title it “The Long Road,” symbolizing the arduous but rewarding path he has traversed over the past 13 years. Originating his comedic pursuits in Wilmington at Nutt Street Comedy, Cash’s unwavering dedication saw him swiftly rise in the comedy scene, eventually claiming top honors and showcasing his talent in prestigious platforms like Comedy Central and Standup NBC.
Through years of perseverance, Cash remained resolute in crafting his unique narrative, eschewing conventional norms by living on the road incessantly instead of relocating to established comedy hubs as advised. Clocking in an impressive 50-60,000 miles annually for nearly a decade, he showcased his talent in diverse markets, leaving an indelible mark on the comedy landscape.
