\"Kallet<\/a>(Oneida, NY \u2013 June 2015) Local comedians take over the Kallet Civic Center next\u00a0Friday, June 12. Host Steve Donovan warms up the event and keeps the show on track.<\/p>\n

Newcomer Tyler Colvin opens the show.<\/p>\n

Colvin found comedy late in life (he\u2019s 21) as a senior at Oneida High School.\u00a0\u00a0Performing in school and summer plays he enjoyed creating characters and found playing funny characters was what he was best at.<\/p>\n

\u201cI grew up being a very shy person so it turned into a thrill to try to get a reaction from an audience,\u201d Colvin said. He plans to use this event as a stepping stone for bigger audiences in the big apple.<\/p>\n

Paula Who? (McAllister) hailing from Oneida is the events featured comedian.\u00a0McAllister has performed at Funny Bones in Syracuse and shares bits of comedy about herself.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you can\u2019t make fun of yourself, who can you make fun of?\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

McCallister also finds inspiration in her family and friends.<\/p>\n

\u201cI get most of my material from my family,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Rounding out the show is headliner Mike Bova.\u00a0\u00a0Many may know him as the former advertising director for the Eagle Newspaper (Oneida Press).\u00a0\u00a0He is also a former founding member of the Madison County Courier.<\/p>\n

Bova\u2019s career as a stand-up comic began when he was asked to emcee a comedy show with a semi-finalist for the popular television series, Last Comic Standing.<\/p>\n

Bova won the Upper State Independent Comedy Award consecutively in 2012 and 2013.\u00a0\u00a0He now does stand-up comedy as the headliner at clubs across New York State and the US.\u00a0\u00a0His material is R rated and topical.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am extremely excited to see all of my old friends and colleagues in Oneida, NY.\u00a0\u00a0It\u2019s going to be a great evening at the Kallet,\u201d Bova said.<\/p>\n
