Big Laughs and Family Fun at Edmond Town Hall: Michael Kosta and Vanessa Trien Headline May 16–18 Weekend 


Newtown, CT – Edmond Town Hall is the place to be this May as two incredible acts bring both big laughs and family-friendly music to the historic venue. On Friday, May 16, comedian Michael Kosta hits the stage with his sharp wit and signature style on The Lucky Loser Tour. Then on Sunday, May 18, it's fun for all ages with Vanessa Trien and The Jumping Monkeys, a high-energy, interactive musical experience perfect for kids and families. 


Best known as a correspondent on The Daily Show with Trevor Noah, Michael Kosta is a veteran stand-up comedian whose insightful humor and deadpan delivery have earned him spots on The Tonight Show, Conan, and Comedy Central. With his “Lucky Loser” perspective on modern life, Kosta’s live performance is equal parts hilarious and thought-provoking—an ideal night out for fans of smart comedy. 


Vanessa Trien and The Jumping Monkeys   bring joy and movement to every performance. Based in Boston, this award-winning band has become a favorite among families throughout New England. Their upbeat songs and infectious enthusiasm get kids singing, dancing, and jumping along—while parents enjoy the musical talent and heart behind it all.
