Hoots & Hollers, an exclusive stand-up comedy series coming to Cedar Point’s Palace Theatre in Frontier Town this summer, will feature nationally touring comedians who have performed on programs such as “America’s Got Talent,” and Late Night.

Hoots & Hollers is a collaboration with Secret Society Comedy, a Cleveland-based pop-up comedy club that’s produced over 475 shows at more than 60 venues across Northeast Ohio since comedians Gheramy Demery, David Horning and Bryan Sternik launched it in January 2022.

Running Friday, Saturday and Sunday evenings from June 6 through Aug. 31, Hoots & Hollers offers shows at 7, 8 and 9 p.m. The first two shows will feature content appropriate for ages 14 and older while the 9 p.m. show will be suitable for ages 21 and older. All shows are free and included with park admission.

Notable comedians coming to Hoots & Hollers include Learnmore Jonasi, a finalist and Golden Ticket winner on America’s Got Talent, Jeff Scheen, who’s been featured on The Late Late Show with James Corden, and Cleveland’s Mary Santora, who recently moved to New York in the attempt to become a national act.

“People go to Cedar Point for the thrill of roller coasters and the emotional roller coaster of tension and release that comes with great stand-up felt like the perfect match,” says David Horning, co-founder of Secret Society Comedy, in a press release. “We’ve worked with every comedian headlining this summer, and we can’t wait to see them light up an intimate space that’s not known for stand-up…yet.”

Reservations for each comedian will go on sale the Monday of the week they perform and are included with admission to the park.
