The JustCallMoe Comedy Jam is back for a fourth year next week, bringing laughter and community spirit to the Funny Bone. The show features Madison Bakich, Ricky Reyes and hometown favorite Sean Finnerty, all under the guidance of Orlando’s own Ross McCoy as host.
More than just a night of jokes, the Comedy Jam is a fundraiser for the Yellow Brick Road Foundation, which supports the families of children born with congenital heart disease.
“Great comics, great cause, great night — this show is one of our favorite traditions,” says Moe DeWitt, founder of JustCallMoe Injury & Accident Attorneys, producer of the event.
Headliner Sean Finnerty, who made history as the first Irish-born comedian to perform on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon in 2019, has hardly slowed down since.
“I’ve been touring a lot this year working out my new hour,” Finnerty says. “I’ll probably do close to 200 days on the road this year.” That includes stops in nearly 30 U.S. states and eight countries.
Although Finnerty is a global performer, he lives locally and the Comedy Jam holds appeal beyond just the stage. “I’m excited to do the gig because it’s for a great cause that really matters. And also I get to make fun of lawyers in the process,” he deadpans.
Still, he’s keeping much of the act under wraps: “I don’t want to tell audiences what to expect, that’d ruin the surprise. Let’s just say an Irish accent and lots of laughs.”
No one knows Orlando comedy quite like event host Ross McCoy. Long a fixture of the local circuit, he hosted the indie showcase Shit Sandwich for a decade and has since shifted into new ventures while maintaining a strong presence in the city’s stand-up scene.
McCoy is also the voice behind “The Orlando Talk Show”, a podcast where he hosts local and touring comedians, fostering connections across Florida’s comedy ecosystem. His reputation for drawing in talent and giving them a platform makes his role as emcee more than symbolic. He’s an ambassador for Orlando’s comedy community.
The JustCallMoe Comedy Jam happens at 7 p.m. Thursday, Oct, 2 at Orlando Funny Bone on International Drive. Tickets are $20 and are available through the Funny Bone website.
