The Comedy Craft Beer Tour presents Mike Hanley

The Comedy Craft Beer Tour presents Mike Hanley at the Oasis Room inside Garde Arts Center, bringing a night of fast-paced stand-up and laid-back craft beer vibes to downtown New London. Built around the idea that comedy works best in intimate spaces with a drink in hand, the series transforms the Oasis Room into the kind of cozy venue where audiences feel close enough to be part of the act. It is less a giant theater spectacle and more a packed-room energy, with laughs bouncing wall to wall as comics feed off the crowd throughout the night.

The Comedy Craft Beer Tour presents Mike Hanley, a comedian known for high-energy storytelling and brutally funny observations about relationships, marriage, parenting, and everyday chaos. Hanley first gained attention after winning “Funniest Person on Campus” at UCONN before building a career that led to appearances on CBS’s “Funniest Comedians in Boston,” SiriusXM, and national television programs including “Today” and “Good Morning America.” His stand-up style comes fast and loud, the kind of performance where one story tumbles into another while the audience barely has time to recover between punchlines.

The Comedy Craft Beer Tour has built a following across the Northeast by pairing nationally touring comedians with breweries, wineries, casinos, and intimate venues that feel more personal than traditional comedy clubs. That atmosphere should fit perfectly inside the Oasis Room, where audiences can settle in early with drinks before the show and enjoy a more up-close comedy experience than larger casino theaters or arenas usually offer. For anyone looking for an easy summer night out in New London with good beer, sharp stand-up, and a crowd ready to laugh hard, this one checks all the boxes.
