Comedy Show in Ferndale!

A fresh stand-up comedy showcase. Local talent, big laughs, intimate vibe.

Local Variety Co. presents Third Space Comedy — a monthly stand-up comedy event hosted in The Taproom at Urbanrest Brewing Company in Ferndale, MI.

Each show features local comedians in an intimate space filled with barrels, string lights, and good vibes. The “third space” is the place between work and home where you feel seen and celebrated for who you are. For us, it’s a celebration of comedy, creativity, community, and connection — and you’re invited.

Johanna Medranda is our headliner this month. She is both a finalist of the Gilda Radner LaughFest Roast Battle and a fan favorite of LaughFest's "Dirty Show". She has played for Bricks & Bridges Comedy Festival, StoopFest, The "12 Days of Grizmas" showcase, NPR's WDET "What's So Funny About Detroit?", produced and performed for The Motor City Comedy Festival, and was the first comedian to perform for So Far Sound Detroit.
Johanna Medranda has performed with comedians such as Sam Tallent, Dave Attell, Brody Stevens, Liza Treyger, Stavros Halkias, Nicole Schreiber, Akaash Singh, Robert Kelly, and Krystyna Hutchinson. She was also set to perform for the infamous Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival in 2020, which was sadly cancelled due to God hating us all.
You may have seen Johanna on the cover of Hour Detroit Magazine, featuring at The Milwaukee Comedy Festival, Mark Ridley's Comedy Castle, The MadHouse Comedy Club, and Laugh Factory Chicago.
Outside of performing stand-up, Johanna is the co-founder of Honorary Mentions Comedy, a producer for The Independent Comedy Club, Don't Tell Comedy Detroit, and the host of Each Other's Mothers podcast.
