	John Heffron: Michigan Made. Nationally Funny. Friday, April 10 - 7:30pm All tickets - $35 Comedian John Heffron is coming to Brighton — and if you’ve got Michigan roots, this show will feel like catching up with an old friend. Raised in South Lyon and a proud Eastern Michigan University alum, John brings his 35+ years of stand-up experience back to where it all started. You’ve seen his comedy specials, caught him on The Tonight Show or Comedy Central… and honestly, you might’ve gone to high school with him. Or wiped out on the bunny hill at Mt. Brighton right next to him. Either way, his stories just feel familiar. His comedy is clean-ish, nostalgic, and packed with relatable moments for anyone navigating life, aging, technology, and the weird joy of being “kinda” grown up. 🎤 Winner of NBC’s Last Comic Standing, a Q95 radio favorite, and a trusted headliner for corporate events across the country, John brings his signature Americana Comedy—real-life, story-driven, no-politics stand-up that hits home. This show checks all the boxes when you’re looking to: • Catch up with friends without yelling over a bar • Press pause on the stress and just laugh • Get out of the house and still be in bed by 11 • Feel seen, without being singled out • Share something fun and funny with your parents, your partner, or your crew • When John’s back in Michigan, his shows sell out fast. So rally your friends, get a sitter, and grab your tickets now. VETERANS CONNECTED 10% of the ticket proceeds go to a community partner, Veterans Connected. Veterans Connected is a all volunteer board founded in 2019 with the mission to reduce the suicide rate, which is currently at 44 per day, by reducing the stressors. Stressors can be car or home repairs, rent, mortgage or utility bills, a ramp, or simply a safety rail. Every Veteran assisted has been refused help by the traditional services before Veterans Connected steps in and they have provided over $750,000 in support since September 2019.
