Half scripted and half improvised this unique comedy show will keep you on the edge of your seat.

Comedians are asked ridiculous questions about the topic of the week.

About HollerHouse:

Welcome to HollerHouse – where creativity meets community on the lively State Street in historic downtown Bristol, VA! We're not just a gallery and retail space; we're on a mission to redefine what it truly means to be an "Appalachian artist."  In our eyes, Appalachian traditions are not just relics of the past; they are treasures to be cherished and celebrated.​

Appalachia is a living, breathing hub of vibrant cultures, teeming with artists whose contemporary creations are steeped in the unique context and culture of this region.  In our first year of business, we helped local creators make over one hundred thousand dollars.  100% of every dollar spent at Holler is an investment back into a Appalachian creator, a small brick & mortar, and your local economy.  We aspire to be more than just a physical space; we want to be a haven for the bold, daring, strange, and surprising creators who call our community home. Join us in embracing the rich tapestry of Appalachian artistry and let's celebrate the spirit of our unique corner of the world!

During the Finals of the Blue Ridge Comedy Festival 4 comedians will take the stage to perform their best 20 minutes of material.

The best comedian as decided by a panel of judges (and audience write-in votes) will win our top prize of $1,000 and we'll put their picture up on our wall of fame along with previous winners.

Jon is a militant ally of the LGBTQIA+ community, part of a biracial family, STILL wears overalls, and is most likely toting a six shooter. His stories have brought raucous laughter throughout the southeast. Jon has opened for Dave Stone, Will Smalley, and Abe Farrelly. Now, Jon Pruett is ready to bring the laughs with his backwoods lifestyle and open-minded outlook to his home stage. Yall don't wanna miss this!!

Jojo Casillas lights the stage up with his stand-up comedy.

At 7 years old, his family moved to Fort Myers, Florida from his birthplace, Allentown, Pennsylvania. Growing up, Jojo’s father nicknamed him “Mr. Funny Guy” as he was always the one to make everyone laugh. He did not realize he would enjoy making a career out of entertaining until he was asked to do an open mic night as a favor to his cousin and loved how he made the crowd react.

In 2017 Jojo met N.O.R.E, one of his favorite media personalities, and that experience gave him the drive to continue doing comedy on a more professional level. After that Jojo’s raw and authentic stand up has gone on to win comedy competitions at Visani Restaurant and Theater in Port Charlotte, McCurdy’s Comedy Theatre in Sarasota, Laugh in Comedy Café in Fort Myers, Winner of Blue Ridges funniest 2022 competition, and Winner of Louisville funniest comic. He has also performed at Tampa Improv Comedy Theater and the Miami Improv and Carolines on Broadway in New York City.

Jojo has hosted for some great comedians such as Damon Wayans from Major Payne, My wife and kids, and In Living Color. Ali Siddiq from comedy Central’s This isn’t happening, BET Comic View, and NBC Bring the funny, Bryan Callen from MADtv , Kingdom , and ABCs The Goldbergs and Robert Kelly who is a regular at the Comedy Cellar, often appeared on the Opie and Anthony show on Sirius XM and was a regular guest on Tough Crowd with Colin Quinn just to name to a few.
