New Year's Eve Comedy at The Space, Amesbury: Jim Colliton, Dave Rattigan

New Year's Eve Comedy at The Space, Amesbury: Jim Colliton, Dave Rattigan

Say goodbye to 2025 with two great shows featuring Jim Colliton, Dave Rattigan and Sam Pelletier!

Showtimes are 5 and 7 p.m. Shows are approximately 85 minutes long. Admission is $30.

The show is suitable for adults over 21, and will feature a cash bar serving beer, wine and cider courtesy of Barewolf Brewing. Lobby doors open 1 hour before each event.

Jim Colliton is a confused middle-aged man who can spin soccer games, school drop offs and lunches into his comedy material based around his life as a dad and husband. The Boston-based comedian has produced four critically acclaimed CDs, a DryBar Comedy special, and is a much-requested performer on cruise ships and corporate events all over the English-speaking world. Gushed one fan from Arizona, "I was just on the Royal Caribbean cruise and saw Jim perform and no joke, I was crying. That was easily the funniest comedy show I've ever been too!" His latest CD is The Ultimate Dad and his special is Please, Take the Lunch. He made his TV debut on Ed McMahon's Next Big Star, and has since appeared on Comedy Central, NBC, Fox, and CBS.

Dave Rattigan has performed in Ireland, Japan, at Fenway Park, The Cape Cod Melody Tent, South Shore Music Circus, a lumberyard, the lobby of an ad agency, a library, and several parking lots. "There's nothing funny about the way he looks, until he gives that deadpan look of his," popular blogger Ralph Fatello (RalphsPic.com) wrote. "His outward appearance is something out of a mature GQ magazine. He looks like a cross between a semi hip banker, and your mild-mannered father-in-law .... Dave is the master of completely dismantling himself in front of a crowd of strangers. I'm always torn as to whether I should console him, or just laugh my ass off like everyone else ...."

Sam Pelletier has been bringing his unique blend of observation and relatability to audiences for over a decade. Originally from the (somewhat) great state of Maine, Sam won the Cellar on Treadwell Competition in 2023, and was a finalist in the New England's Funniest Comedian Competition of 2021. He opened for national headliners including Shane Torres, Joe Bartnick, and Alex Edleman. Sam has been featured in the Boston Comedy Festival, Maine Comedy Festival, and Mutiny Radio Comedy Festival in San Francisco. His hobbies include hiking and being a good listener.
