About the Artist:
Ian Fidance is an offbeat yet upbeat New York City comic, actor, and writer originally from Wilmington, Delaware. An absolute force on stage, his act is insanely positive and positively insane. Equal parts thoughtful, explicit, and silly, he can be seen performing nightly at the iconic Comedy Cellar in the heart of New York City’s Greenwich Village, and his wildly popular podcast “Bein’ Ian with Jordan” is available on all platforms.
Fidance has been featured on NPR’s “This American Life” and is a popular guest on podcasts and radio shows alike. He co-starred in multiple sketches on the latest season of the “Gilly and Keeves” sketch show, “The Last OG” with Tracy Morgan, and was featured on “This Week at the Comedy Cellar” on Comedy Central. A true honor, he was a contributing writer on the most recent season of Crank Yankers on Comedy Central, and did punch up work on Michelle Obama’s children’s cooking show “Waffles + Mochi” on Netflix. His work has been published alongside Jerry Seinfeld, Bob Odenkirk, Ray Ramano, and Maria Bamford in a book of poems entitled “Eating Salad Drunk: Haiku’s for the Burnout Age by Comedy Greats” available now through Macmillan Publishers. He currently resides in Brooklyn.

Get ready to experience an evening with Starfire Live! This intimate setting will allow Starfire to share some of her favorite songs and the stories behind the music. She will take a limited number of requests from the audience during the show; be sure to check out the digital catalog beforehand to make your selections!

A singer from a very early age, all Starfire ever wanted to do was perform. After she picked up a guitar in her teens, it seemed her stage was set. Family life took precedence during early adulthood, but now that her daughters are growing up, she’s back to pursuing her rockstar dreams!

We welcome you to this night of acoustic music and behind-the-scenes stories right here in Lynchburg, VA!
