w/John "Toast" O'Neill

One day, John O’Neill spent a night in Kenosha attending his sister’s wedding. Just that one visit and he fell in love with the town. It wouldn’t be long before he packed up his stuff and left Kettering, Ohio at the age of 26 to move to Kenosha.  John, aka “Toast,” has been working the stand-up stages in the area for many years, you can catch him honing his craft every Wednesday night at the Open Mic hosted by the Spirit Shakers at the Kenosha Yacht Club. With his fiance, Morgan, the pair have launched their own photography business this year, be sure to check out Toast-Tea Photography here! Follow him on Instagram at Toastradahmus You can find Toast every weekend this summer at the Bristol Renaissance Faire at the VEGETABLE JUSTICE booth! The Renaissance Men of Comedy features Toast and many other comedians from the Ren Faire.
