For nearly 10 years, he has entertained audiences across the country with his hilarious stories covering fatherhood to the absurdities of living in the South. Bair is co-founder of Scoundrels Live Stand-Up and co-host of the Partially Cooked Podcast. Find his clips on Instagram and TikTok: @bairthecomic
Rob Rego, the featured comic of the night, is the best comedian in the world and the only reason you haven’t heard of him is because he’s designed it that way. He's opened for Shane Gillis, Mark Normand, Stavros Halkias, and his very own therapist.
Host @sethdees is a stand-up comic out of Conway, Arkansas. After graduating with an Art Degree from Arkansas Tech University, Seth realized there wasn't much to do with Art in Arkansas, so he started telling jokes. With nearly 15 years of stand up experience, Seth has opened for Doug Stanhope, Nikki Glaser, Ralphie May, and more! Dees' ridiculous perspectives on life, fatherhood, and trying to be a comedian in the Bible Belt have connected with audiences across the Midwest.

Arkansas Classics: Mud
Arkansas Museum of Fine Arts
Come watch this rarely-seen Arkansas film on the big screen at the Arkansas Museum of Fine Arts! Presented in partnership with the Arkansas Cinema Society, the Arkansas Classics Film Series shines a spotlight on films shot in Arkansas over the last century.
While exploring a Mississippi River island, Arkansas boys Ellis (Tye Sheridan) and Neckbone (Jacob Lofland) encounter Mud (Matthew McConaughey),a fugitive who needs their help. Though Mud killed a man in Texas and has bounty hunters on his trail, he is most concerned about reuniting with Juniper (Reese Witherspoon), the love of his life. Ellis, who is suffering the pangs of his first crush, agrees to help Mud. He and Neckbone do all they can to protect Mud and help him reunite with Juniper.
