From a press release:
If you miss the days of punk entertainment for a great price, The Keys has a comedy show for you on Tuesday, Sept. 6 at 9 p.m. The Altercation Punk Comedy Tour with JT Habersaat and Jay Chanoine is coming to downtown Scranton with local comedians Elliott Elliott, Dan Hoppel, Erich Drexler, and host and MC Russell Austin.

He has done stand-up alongside numerous comedic powerhouses, such as Doug Stanhope, Brian Posehn, Andy Dick, Kyle Kinane, Joe Sib, Janeane Garofalo, and many more, and he remains one of a handful of comics ever invited to share the stage with Black Flag’s Henry Rollins.
