Granite City’s own Kelly Manno is coming home, and she’s bringing her sense of humor with her! On July 10th, Kelly will take the stage for a one‑night‑only stand‑up show that promises to be equal parts hilarious and heartfelt.
If you’ve ever wondered what happens when a Holy Family grad, Coolidge alum, and two‑time Pom Squad dropout gets a microphone, you’re about to find out.
Kelly calls herself a “humdinger drinking, paddlers swimmin’, donkey basketball playing, lambs garden fightin’ product of Granite City, Illinois” — and honestly, that might be the most accurate local résumé we’ve ever heard.
She’s got stories that only Granite City folks will truly appreciate, from the glory days of smiley‑face cookies at Mrs. Seibold’s to the kind of small‑town mischief that makes for comedy gold. And yes, she’s doing it all for a great cause.
So mark your calendars, grab your friends, and get ready to laugh until your sides hurt. Because when Kelly Manno says “Gah‑hee, Gah‑hi, Gah‑ho‑ho‑ho,” you know Granite City’s about to have a good time. To purchase tickets to the event, tap here.
