Final Comedy Open Mic of the Season Brings Jenni Fitz Back to the PCA

When:
Where: 10 Lincoln Street, Westford

The Parish Center for the Arts (PCA) introduced something new during the 2025-26 season - Comedy Open Mics, and they have been nothing but funny! Four nights, the last of the season being held June 20 at 7:30pm, are open to the public for a $5 suggested donation. All are welcome. Sign-ups to perform are available online in advance, but you’re audience members (especially good laughers) are welcome to just come and watch, as well.  It’s like a night out at a comedy show, but you just don’t know who you’re going to see! For more information about the PCA's Comedy Open Mics, be it as an audience member or if you interested in a slot at the mic visit pcawestford.org, or email admin@pcawestford.org!

Each of these nights has had a different guest host, finishing up in June with Jenni Fitz. Fitz is an up-and-coming comic who has been pounding the pavement performing at mics in both Boston and Austin. Her comedy centers around her life as a Gen X working mother of three and navigating single parenthood in 2025. When Jenni’s not doing comedy or teaching math at her day job, you can catch her on her podcast, From Boston to Austin, on her YouTube channel of the same name. Follow @jennifitz8675309 for more!

7:30 pm on June 20th at New Song in Bedford, Peter Mulvey & Jenna Nicholls Present Floyd Mercantile

When:
Where: 10 Mudge Way, Bedford

In April 2025, Peter Mulvey and Jenna Nicholls, along with guitarist Ross Bellenoit, traveled to Floyd, a small mountain town located in the Blue Ridge Highlands of Southwest Virginia, for five uninterrupted days of recording. What emerged is Floyd Mercantile — a record that feels both intimate and timeless. The makeshift studio was a decommissioned general store called (you guessed it!) Floyd Mercantile, a weathered wooden building standing across the road from an open pasture where cows wandered and grazed in the gentle early spring (one cow even volunteered to be on the album cover). Inside those old walls, the trio recorded the album live: no isolation booths, no heavy overdubbing — just three musicians in a room, listening closely and letting the songs unfold in real time.
