Austin VFW Post 1216’s monthly comedy show “Very Funny Wednesday”, 7 p.m. Nov. 16 at, starring headliner Jon Wilson, with special guest Nate Abshire. Tickets are available for the special mid-week price of $5. The show is open to the public.

In addition to starring in Showtime’s most recent “Louie Anderson Presents,” Jon has featured at clubs all around the Midwest. He is also the winner of The 2008 MinneHAHA Comedy Competition.

Abshire started performing to spite a girl who wouldn’t return his calls, and he never looked back. Based in Minneapolis, he performs in clubs throughout the Twin Cities and the greater Midwest.

Austin VFW committee member Brad McBeain stated in an e-mail, “Jon Wilson will be our most notable comic since we started our “Very Funny Wednesday” shows. We hope everyone will come and see the kind of quality comedians we’ve been able to get to come and entertain Austin. Our comedy shows are always open to the public, last about 90 minutes, and provide the best entertainment value in the area.”
