Comedy Night Featuring Scott Shaffer
See Scott Shaffer at Old Abilene Town! There’s a reason he is a booking favorite in every room of his hometown, Kansas City. Delivering a consistently dynamic performance of quick wit coupled with intelligent writing, Shaffer is an undeniable crowd favorite. Scott was awarded second place in St. Louis Make Me Laugh Comedy Contest and won the Last Laffs Comedy Competition. In 2015 he performed at the Oddball Comedy Festival with the likes of Aziz Ansari and Amy Schumer.
While touring all over the country, Shaffer has shared the stage with countless stand-up comedy icons - Aries Spears, Nikki Glaser, Joe Torry, Christian Finnegan, Josh Wolf, and Bobcat Goldthwait just to name a few. Downright hilarious and original, Scott Shaffer is one to watch. Learn more
