Comedy @ Commonwealth Presents: Joe Stapleton And Sam Rhodes

An evening of laughs with headlining comedian JOE STAPLETON AND SAM RHODES and friends! Doors open at 6pm. Show starts at 7:00pm.

SAM
It's every UK comic's dream to "break" in America. As a result, he looks upon the country with rose-colored glasses. To him the people are strange, but kind, and the feeling is mutual. Sam loves to soak in everything that is the USA and his disarming, charming, fish-out-of-water dynamic only adds to what is already a very strong comedy presence. Sam is looking to make his mark in the Midwest and eventually make a name for himself on the coasts as well as the heartland. The recording in Las Vegas will mark his fourth self- produced comedy special.

JOE
"Stapes" as he's known, is already successful in his own right. He's been an international television presence (albeit in the niche world of poker) since 2010. Despite being lucky enough to open for the legendary Norm Macdonald from 2018-2020, his jet-setting and TV responsibilities are a double-edged sword. On the one hand, he encounters small numbers of passionate poker fans wherever he goes, but on the other his "day job" prevents him from pursuing stand-up comedy full time. For Joe, this trip is more of a comedian's boot camp, squeezing in several months' worth of comedy in just a few weeks. Unlike Sam, Stapes isn't comfortable using the term "special." He believes "specials" are reserved for the Dave Chappelles and Jerry Seinfelds of the world. Additionally, Stapes' comedy is purely for the fans - fans who come out for nearly every show. With life on the poker tour, Stapes doesn't have the luxury of being able to hone new material. In general, he prefers to keep his comedy off the internet and fresh for live audiences.
