FUSE Comedy and Art Festival presents inaugural event this weekend

A new comedy festival is making its debut in downtown Dayton this weekend. The FUSE Comedy and Art Festival is a multi-day event showcasing comedy and visual art from around the region, presenting many curators and comedic voices across Dayton's Oregon District. Festival co-presenter and local comedian Luke Capasso stopped by WYSO's studio to speak with Excursions host Evan Miller about the festival, its roots in British comedy festival formatting, and what to expect this weekend.

The FUSE Comedy and Art Festival 2021 is happening this Friday December 3rd through Sunday December 5th, across multiple venues in downtown Dayton including Wiley's Comedy Club, Yellow Cab Tavern, and Toxic Brew Co. More details can be found at Eventbrite.com.

Evan Miller is a musician, curator, and radio person based in Yellow Springs. With roots studying percussion at Wright State University and cutting his radio teeth at WWSU, he is currently Assistant Music Director and host of Midday Music and The Outside at 91.3 WYSO and Novaphonic.FM. Outside of radio, you can find Evan regularly playing in several bands in the area, booking/curating shows including The Outside Presents experimental series in Yellow Springs, snooping around area record stores, and spoiling his cat Nova (Novaphonic's animal mascot!).
