Gulf Coast Symphony Launches New Stand-Up Comedy Series at the Music & Arts Community Center
Fort Myers, FL – September 12, 2025 – The Gulf Coast Symphony is bringing laughter center stage with the launch of its brand-new Stand-Up Comedy Series at the Music & Arts Community Center (MACC). Beginning September 26, audiences can experience two unforgettable evenings of comedy, music, and entertainment—without leaving Fort Myers.
Friday, September 26 at 7:30 pm – Michael Mack
The series kicks off with national headliner Michael Mack, hailed as the funniest musical act of the new millennium. Known for his sharp song parodies, uncanny impressions, and dazzling light effects, Mack has been featured on The Bob & Tom Show, SiriusXM Radio, and ABC’s America’s Funniest People. His signature closer, Faces of Rock, transforms the stage into a whirlwind of music and comedy, leaving audiences on their feet.
Friday, October 3 at 7:30 pm – Ron Feingold’s Comedy A Cappella
The laughter continues the following week with Ron Feingold, the mastermind behind Comedy A Cappella—a one-man show where every joke, harmony, and song comes from his own voice. Blending stand-up with impressive vocal artistry, Feingold sings every part himself, from bass to soprano, while weaving in parodies and surprises that keep audiences on their toes.
With over 30 years of experience, Feingold has performed in 46 states, on international cruise ships, and opened for music icons including The Beach Boys, REO Speedwagon, and Diana Krall. His high-energy, one-of-a-kind performance makes him a must-see entertainer for fans of both comedy and music.
To purchase tickets to the comedy series, call 239.277.1700 or visit gulfcoastsymphony.org. For additional inquiries, contact Sarah Anstett at 239.277.1700 x 105.
