Comedian Mary Santora will be headlining the event and taking the stage at 1pm. She will be telling her powerful sobriety story in a funny, PG-rated way.
The slightly dark, incredibly quick, observational style of Mary Santora’s comedy is one that is uniquely her own. Drawing from real life experiences, Mary takes the audience on a storytelling driven ride, while seamlessly weaving in and out of crowd interactions, leaving a lasting impression on anyone who sees her. Both of Santora’s albums, “Hillbilly Boujee” and “Nothing Matters” hit #1 on both iTunes and Amazon, and can be heard regularly on SiriusXM. She is also the Co-host of The Alan Cox Show on 1007 WMMS.
