The Magnetic Theatre is thrilled to announce a new series of performances as Magnetic In The (Smoky) Park comes to life every Tuesday night in October (and possibly beyond)!
The artists of The Magnetic community are teaming up with the wizards at Smoky Park Supper Club to host this live, outdoor variety show. This exciting collaboration between River Arts District neighbors is the first of its kind for The Magnetic Theatre.
Starting October 6th, Smoky Park’s gorgeous, riverside outdoor space will be filled with comedy, theatre, music, and so much more. Each Tuesday night will feature a delightfully different menagerie of acts from some of the finest entertainers in Asheville. Smoky Park’s kitchen will be closed but their full bar will be open for business.
These will be BYOC events (Bring-Your-Own-Chair) and shows will strictly follow all safety guidelines, with mask and social distancing protocols enforced. There will also be temperature checks at the gate and plenty of hand sanitation stations on the property. Restrooms will be available.
Support your local arts scene, small business, performance venues, entertainers, and mixologists, and help Keep Asheville Weird!
Magnetic in the (Smoky) Park runs every Tuesday night in October (the 6th, 13th, 20th, and 27th) at Smoky Park Supper Club, located at 350 Riverside Drive. “Doors” open at 6pm and the show starts at 7pm. Tickets are $15 for general admission, with discounts available for members of The Magnetic Theatre. Find more information and purchase tickets at www.themagnetictheatre.org.

Baldwin’s bio- oops. My bad. Stephen LYNCH is a songwriter, comedian and Tony award-nominated actor. His songs are known for their haunting melodies, complex and Lord-pleasing chord structures and insightful lyrics, often exploring the universal themes of heartbreak, family strife, and forgetting one’s safeword during a particularly brutal S&M session.
Described by Jay Leno as “the best joke writer in America,” by British comedian Gary Delaney as the best joke writer in the world, and by “Weird Al” Yankovic as one of the funniest people on the planet, Emo Philips has performed over 7000 times throughout the English-speaking world, including a multi-week run at the Playhouse Theater in London’s West End. Since starting out in Chicago in 1976 at the age of twenty, Emo has had award-winning comedy albums, several cable specials (including an hour-long one on HBO), and many appearances on network television, both in America and in the UK. He has appeared in films (most notably, as the table-saw demonstrator in UHF) and has lent his distinctive voice to animated TV shows (such as Slacker Cats, Doctor Katz, Adventure Time, and Home Movies), but his first love, stand-up, remains his true one.
Hailing from Old Hickory, Tennessee, rising stand-up star Nate Bargatze’s comedy is both clean and relatable. He has been featured as one of Esquire’s “Best New Comedians” by Jim Gaffigan, Rolling Stone’s “Comedians to Watch” by Marc Maron, Variety’s “10 Comics to Watch” for 2015, and as #1 on Vulture‘s “50 Comedians You Should Know” in 2015.
Following the showbiz footsteps of his dad, a former clown turned world-class magician, Bargatze’s debut TV special, Full Time Magic, and debut album, Yelled at By a Clown, came out in 2015. The album reached #1 on the iTunes Comedy Charts and remained on Billboard’s Top Ten Comedy Charts for weeks. His first half-hour Netflix special, The Standups, premiered in 2017, and his first solo one-hour Netflix special, The Tennessee Kid, came out this year. He currently has a deal with 20th Century Fox to develop his own TV show.
Bargatze has made multiple appearances on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, Conan, and @midnight. Off-screen, he performed as part of Fallon’s Clean Cut Comedy Tour and Chris Rock’s Total Blackout Tour, along with live shows for the troops in Iraq and Kuwait. He regularly appears at Bonnaroo, SXSW, Oddball Comedy Festival, Sasquatch, Clusterfest, and the Just For Laughs Montreal Comedy Festival.
Chris Tucker is an award-winning actor and comedian best known for playing the role of Detective James Carter in the Rush Hour film series with Jackie Chan. He became a favorite on HBO’s Def Comedy Jam in the 1990s and came to prominence with his first starring role in the 1995 cult classic film Friday, starring alongside Ice Cube. In 1997, Tucker embarked on his first production as executive producer and co-starred in the hit movie Money Talks with Charlie Sheen. That same year, he also appeared in Luc Besson’s highly successful The Fifth Element. In 2006, Tucker negotiated an unprecedented $25 million salary to appear in Rush Hour 3, which at the time made him the highest paid actor in Hollywood.
Tucker co-starred in the 2013 Oscar®-nominated film Silver Linings Playbook with Robert DeNiro, Jennifer Lawrence, and Bradley Cooper. In 2015, his first standup film, Chris Tucker Live, was released exclusively on Netflix, and marked the first project that Tucker has starred in and produced through his company, Chris Tucker Entertainment. In 2016, he co-starred in Ang Lee’s powerful Iraq war-centric film, Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk, with Vin Diesel and Steve Martin. To date, Tucker has starred in films that have collectively grossed over $1 billion in box office sales worldwide.
Acclaimed late-night TV host, admired stand-up comedian, best-selling children’s book author, in-demand corporate speaker, lovable voice-over artist, pioneering car builder and mechanic, and philanthropist… it’s no wonder Jay Leno is widely characterized as “the hardest working man in show business.”
Leno’s late-night TV ratings domination included more than two decades of The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, winning every consecutive quarter he hosted. The Tonight Show was honored with an Emmy® Award for Outstanding Comedy, Variety or Music Series and took home the trophy for “Favorite Late-Night Show” in the annual TV Guide Awards determined by voting viewers. Leno was recently installed in the Television Academy’s Broadcast Hall of Fame.
Having passed the torch of Tonight Show succession to Jimmy Fallon, Leno has increased his customary busy schedule of comedy performances in top venues around the United States and abroad. He also continues his Emmy-winning web venture relating to his passion for automobiles, Jay Leno’s Garage.
