Orlando, FL — Comedy enthusiasts across Central Florida are poised for a comedic invasion as celebrated Australian stand-up comedian James McCann prepares to grace the stage of the Orlando Funny Bone for a pair of highly anticipated performances.

It's refreshing to see a comedian who makes you think as much as he makes you laugh.” Vance, who has followed McCann's career online for years, expressed particular excitement about experiencing his live presence.
The Orlando Funny Bone, a cornerstone of the city’s entertainment landscape, is set to host McCann on Friday, October 27th, and Saturday, October 28th.
