Columbia Gears Up for a Hilarious New Year at the Comedy Countdown 2025

As 2024 draws to a close, the vibrant city of Columbia is ready to kick off the new year with a bang, or rather, a laugh! Mark your calendars for December 31st, because the Columbia Comedy Countdown 2025 is set to bring a night full of giggles and joy at the charming Corley Mill House.

Get Ready for a Night of Fun

For just $100, guests will get more than just a show; the ticket includes a delicious dinner, access to an open bar, a celebratory champagne toast at midnight, and even some fun party favors to ring in the new year.

Once the clock strikes ten, the laughter will really get rolling with a lineup that showcases some of the best regional comedic talent around. This year’s event is especially exciting, as local comedian Topher Riddle—with years of comedy experience under his belt—has teamed up with his wife, Allie, who happens to be the wedding coordinator at the Corley Mill House, to bring this all together.

A Star-Studded Comedy Lineup

The event promises an unforgettable night with a fantastic host to guide the laughs. Pate Gardener, a Florence comedian known for his open mics in Columbia, will warm up the crowd with his charm and wit.

The main stage will shine with Irish comedian Sean Finnerty, famous for his appearances on Comedy Central and The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon. Sean will be bringing his unique flair to the countdown, ensuring audiences have plenty of reasons to chuckle throughout the night.

But that’s not all! Finnerty’s opening acts feature a mix of local talents, including Dusty Cagle from Greensboro, N.C., and Shelley Gruenberg from Atlanta. Plus, with engaging performances from local favorites like Lauren Ansley, the Best of Columbia winner Jenn Snyder, and the hilarious comedy-rap duo The Bustercups—comprised of Patrick Fowler and Phil Carter—there is no shortage of laughter in sight. This stellar lineup ensures attendees will experience a night filled with joy and side-splitting entertainment.

Party into the New Year

The fun doesn’t stop until well after the clock strikes midnight! Once the laughter winds down, guests will raise their glasses to 2025 with champagne and dance the night away. It’s a perfect way to wrap up one year while kick-starting another in the company of friends, laughter, and good cheer.
