Empire Reopens Upstairs Venue For Burlesque, Comedy, and Music →

Right now, Empire Live’s online schedule includes events into the fall, most burlesque or drag-related. Saturday’s show, however, is a comedy showcase called Empire Comedy Lives, with comedians from all over New England, that was organized by Marcus Cardona, a comedian who had moved back to Maine from New York during the pandemic and started organizing outdoor comedy shows. He now organizes comedy shows at various locations around the city.
