Comedy Returns to Davenport’s Renwick Mansion Friday
After more than two months since their last stand-up comedy show, the “Tomfoolery on Tremont” series will return with two shows – this Friday and Jan. 22 at the Renwick Mansion, 901 Tremont Ave., Davenport.
Geoffrey Asmus
“They’re great comics, just not really big names,” Chris Schlichting of Davenport, comedian and organizer of the series, said recently. “We are just excited to get back to some comedy.”
The first show since Brett Terhune on Nov. 7, 2020 will be Geoffrey Asmus on Friday, Jan. 15 at 7 p.m. and 9:30 p.m., who Schlichting described as one of their favorites. (The 7 p.m. show is sold out and there are just a couple tables left for the second show, as of Tuesday morning.)
A Minnesota native who lives in New York City, Asmus won Comedy on State’s “Funniest Person in Madison 2015” and Penguin Comedy Club’s “Funniest Person in Iowa 2015.” He was selected as a “New Face” performer at Just For Laughs Montreal and was featured on FOX’s “Laughs” and Kevin Hart’s LOL Network.
Asmus has also performed at the Laughing Skull, Bridgetown, Limestone and Boston comedy festivals and won 3rd place in Atlanta’s 2017 
Laughing Skull festival. For more information, visit www.whitecomedian.com.
