Comedian Justin Silva to Perform at Hard Rock Hotel & Casino as part of North to Shore festival

Published by New Jersey Stage

(ATLANTIC CITY, NJ) -- Comedian Justin Silva will unveil his new show at Soundwaves inside the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino on Saturday, June 21, 2024 at 7:00pm. The performance is one of many in Atlantic City as part of the North to Shore festival.

From working as an electrician and part time as a server at Chili’s Restaurant, Justin Silva figured out the

workforce was not working out for him and persued his dream of being a comedian. After his first comedy show, he knew that being on stage and making people laugh was where he belonged. A year and a half later, he decided to quit his job and pursue his dream. Justin worked hard to become a better comedian. He attended open mics, performed for free at comedy shows, and accepted hosting gigs for very little to no money. He also started creating content and posting it on social media. As a result, his popularity grew rapidly.

Born and raised in New Haven, CT, this New England funny man decided to move with his fiancé to Florida to take his career to the next level. Justin continued to grind and work daily to become a more significant act. He dreams of creating people's favorite space to laugh and is touring in a 2024 Worldwide Tour. He believes that what you put in this game is what you get from it. Justin will continue to work hard and put in all that he can, with great faith that he will achieve his goals.

Tickets are available for purchase online starting Friday, March 22.

Soundwaves is located inside the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino (1000 Boardwalk) in Atlantic City, New Jersey.
