Brian Atkinson is so funny, you may not notice it's clean comedy.

Whole Hearted Winery

Whole Hearted Winery is a special place. The owners, Dan and Brenda Weiand, have a charity just up the road where they have a warehouse. They receive weekly product from Bed, Bath and Beyond, Lowes, and Home depot. So they have pretty much everything that these stores carry in limited stock. And here's the kicker.... it's all free. Totally pay it forward. So if you need something, or you know of someone needing something, you just contact Dan and it's yours. You just can't take it for resale. And to fund this, Whole Hearted Winery opened its doors in September 2019. A dollar from each bottle sold goes towards their charity. The shows will be held upstairs above their new tasting room that just opened right before Christmas 2021.

McCurdy's Comedy Theatre

McCurdy's Comedy Theatre was established in Sarasota/Bradenton Florida in 1988. Our new facility is a 7100 square foot purple building located in the heart of Historic Downtown Sarasota's East End at the intersection of Ringling Boulevard and Washington Avenue. The theatre was completely remodeled to create a world-class showroom devoted to the art of Stand-up Comedy.

World Series of Comedy

The World Series of Comedy was first held in Pittsburgh, PA, in 2003 at a local comedy club. Today, the World Series of Comedy is a stand-up comedy event for comedians of all levels. It starts with weeklong live satellite contests all around the U.S. and Canada, culminating in a comedy festival we call The Main Event, in September. The festival includes 101 qualifying comedians competing in The Main Event, as well as an entire week of comedy seminars and social and networking events for comics, comedy club managers and bookers from the U.S. and Canada.

Brian Atkinson is a 2023 Wild Card 1st place winner and a 2024-2025 top 40 comic in the World Series of Comedy.
