Standup Comedy Show at The Texan
featuring Daryl Felsberg
Friday, June 9, 2023

Standup Comedy Show with Daryl Feslberg on June 9 at The Texan in Athens at 7:30pm. Smoky B Barbecue and Bar available for purchase and doors open at 6:30pm.
No mistaking when Daryl Felsberg is on stage, this larger than life comic commands a room everywhere he goes. His story telling approach littered with jokes and heaps of laughs always have a big pay off. His sarcasm is as rich and thick as his brisket infused bloodstream.
Host of the new Youtube series “Daryl Eats”, Felsberg’s recent album “Truth or Daryl” peaked last #3 on iTunes and 18 on Billboard! In 2023 he shot a special for Open Bar Comedy and Amazon Prime and is finishing a BBQ Cook Book inspired by the Pandemic, and after his show you’ll see why!
His voice inflection and passion keeps people in the room not knowing what absurd humor is going to come out of his mouth. Whether it’s well crafted and precise jokes or completely improvised streams of consciousness, Daryl makes friends and fans out of all audiences.
