Nateball’s Little Funny Bone Comedy Show Athfest Kickoff Show

Nateball Ya’ll’s Little Funny Bone Comedy Show – Get Tickets Here

Thursday, June 19th | Upstairs at The Globe | Kickoff Event for AthFest 2025

Start your AthFest weekend with a gut-busting bang as Athens’ own Nateball returns to host his second annual stand-up showcase: Nateball’s Little Funny Bone Comedy Show—a night packed with laughs to get things kicked off right!

This year’s headliner is none other than Nick Murphy, an Atlanta-based comedy assassin who’s lit up stages at The Punchline, Laughing Skull Lounge, Moontower, and even Netflix Is A Joke Fest. If you’ve seen him open for legends like Ron White or Jim Jeffries, you know he brings the heat—just don’t tell his mom, she thinks it’s all her doing.

Nateball, a true Athens icon, brings decades of stage chops, screen credits, and a healthy dose of irreverence to the mic. From The Damn! Show to Zombieland and now the rinkside antics of the Rock Lobsters hockey team, he’s been keeping Georgia laughing for over 25 years.

Featuring a stacked roster of regional killers and local legends:

Lanny Farmer

Owen Hunt

Adam Beahan

Jalen Jones

Allen Teems

Chad Forehand

Miles Bunch

Doors at 6:30 Show at 7PM Sharp

Upstairs at The Globe – Get there early, grab a drink, and prepare to laugh your face off.

This is the comedy kickoff AthFest deserves. Don’t miss it.
