Martin Moreno

The Comedy Zone

<p> Mix brash, ballsy, crass and downright hilarious and you get one of the hottest touring comedians today - <strong>Martin Moreno</strong>. </p> <p> Moreno's comedy career didn't begin until he was in his early 30's, and by that time he had a freakishly distinct point of view of his life. His two failed marriages gave him an alternative and hysterical definition of "soul mates” and he cheekily recently became an ordained minister/Guru. Moreno’s comedy touches on his personal life and insecurities, resulting in a funny, intelligent, analytical view of how growing up in the 80's molded him to be - the badass, nonchalant and laid-back adult he is today. </p> <p> </p><p> </p> <hr /> <p> <b><u>mini-FAQ</u>:</b> </p> <ul> <li>VIP Seats are the seats closest to the stage.</li> <li>General Admission seats are behind the VIP seats.</li> <li>All shows are 18+</li> <li>Seats are only guaranteed until showtime.</li> <li>Seats are assigned on a first come first serve basis as people arrive.</li> <li><strong>Groups must arrive together in order to sit together.</strong></li> <li>For the best chance of being seated together arrive early and arrive all together. </li> <li>While we do everything we can to seat groups together, we can not guarantee that groups will be seated together.</li> <li>To purchase more than 6 tickets, please contact our Box Office (980-321-4702)</li> <li><strong>There are no refunds on any ticket purchases.</strong></li> <li>Full FAQ available <a href="https://www.cltcomedyzone.com/pages/faq" target="_blank">HERE!</a></li> </ul> <hr /> <p> <u><strong>Doors/Show Times</strong></u> </p> <ul> <li>6:00 PM Doors/7:00 PM Show</li> </ul> <hr />
