Comedian Jeff Scheen at 7:00 pm

• Jeff Scheen is a comic. His off-beat humor and affable demeanor pairs well with his expressive, yet stupid, face. Growing up in Northern Michigan surrounded by trees and dirt roads will make any kid a weirdo, and Jeff has no problem telling you about it. No event registration.
