(PITMAN, NJ) -- Broadway Theatre of Pitman presents a Comedy Night with Jonathan van Halem on Thursday, October 1, 2026 at 7:30pm. Special guest Kirsten Michelle Cills will open the night.

Jonathan van Halem is a New York City–based stand-up comedian with a sharp, observational style and a talent for turning everyday frustrations into big laughs. He currently works at The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and has previously written for Stephen Colbert Presents Tooning Out The News, with additional credits as a contributor to ClickHole.

A frequent opener for comedians like David Cross, Rory Scovel, Gianmarco Soresi, Kyle Gordon, and Sabrina Wu, Jonathan also hosts the popular monthly show Hot Gossip at Union Hall in Brooklyn, featured in The New York Times and Brooklyn Magazine.

Jonathan’s comedy has found massive success online, with clips regularly pulling in millions of views on Instagram and TikTok, including a rant against AMC A-List named one of Vulture’s Best Comedy Shorts of June 2024. Whether on stage or on your screen, he delivers smart, relatable comedy that hits close to home. When he’s not performing, he’s patiently waiting for the New York Mets to win the World Series—and yes, his favorite Family Guy character is Stewie.

Tickets are $30 and available for purchase online. The venue is located at 43 S Broadway in Pitman, New Jersey.
