As FestivalSouth® continues for a second week with events for all ages, they live up to that by offering new late-night events this Friday and Saturday at two of Hattiesburg most popular night spots. On Friday, June 10, at 10 p.m., FestivalSouth partners with Brewsky’s to host DJ Poorboy and on Saturday, June 11, at 9 p.m. they join Hub City Comedy to present Sean Patton at the Thirsty Hippo. The full schedule and complete details are at festivalsouth.org.
“As we continue to showcase arts of all types, we are excited to offer these late-night events,” said Artistic Director, Dr. Mike Lopinto. “Partnerships with these venues offer opportunities for all of us to reach more people with the power of music, dance, and even spoken work - comedy.”
From 80's and pop to indy and emo, Poorboy puts his own unique beats to music of any genre; and as seen on Comedy Central, “Conan” and as the co-host of “Esquire’s Best Bars in America,” New Orleans’ own Sean Patton takes the stage at the Thirsty Hippo along with some of the best comedians in the Hub City. Sure to have you laughing until you hurt, come out after dark for an amazing evening of fun! However, some material might not be suitable for all audiences.

A significant cultural and economic driver for the Pine Belt, FestivalSouth calls on the community to join them and show their resilience by participating and supporting the arts of this and other organizations by their visible attendance in the theater, or via their digital devices. Performances are nominally priced, or free to encourage the largest turnout possible. Advance tickets to public events are strongly recommended as venue capacities may cause sell-outs.
Generous sponsors and donors have made FestivalSouth possible for more than a decade. Now, more than ever before, they have invested again to be certain that the community remains a vibrant haven for the arts with FestivalSouth leading the way.
