Jimmy Dunn is a stand-up comedian and actor from Boston, who currently plays “Moose” on the reboot of the legendary sitcom FRASIER.

Since then, he’s gone on to perform at some of the world’s most prestigious comedy events, including the Late Show with David Letterman, CONAN, Montreal’s International Just For Laughs Comedy Festival, and Denis Leary’s Comic’s Come Home in Boston.

ADAM EZRA GROUP / Tupelo Music Hall (Derry) / 5:30 and 8:00pm – DIRECT/x
If you haven’t connected with Adam Ezra Group yet, these are just a few examples to help you understand how this underground, Americana songwriter and his bandmates seem to have popped out of nowhere, establishing a connection with their fans unlike any other, and are suddenly selling out theaters throughout the Northeast. Adam Ezra will joke with you that while the “nowhere” part might be accurate, nothing has ever just “popped” for this folk musician, activist. Without resources, connections, or any kind of clue how the music world works, Ezra began playing shows over 20 years ago. When music venues wouldn’t hire him, he played bars, bookstores, fields, and parking lots, often raising money for causes he cared about; a practice that grew into his nonprofit organization RallySound. www.tupelomusichall.com or (603)437-5100 – LIMITED TICKETS AVAILABLE
