Who knew the ocean was so funny?
The Ocean Hates You
October 1
Forrest Shaw, former marine biologist turned comedian, gives a voice to the ocean—and trust me, it has some things to say. The Ocean Hates You! dives straight into pollution, overfishing, climate change, plastic, and all the many ways humans have managed to trash the most important ecosystem on Earth.

Through a mix of stand-up, honest perspective, and a healthy dose of dark humor, Forrest breaks down how we got here and why the ocean has every right to be annoyed. But it’s not all doom. There’s still extraordinary life hanging on beneath the waves, and there are real actions—at both personal and community levels—that can slow the damage and even start reversing parts of it.

Participation starts right at the beginning of the show with trivia and other fun surprises woven into the night. Come laugh, learn, and walk out feeling a little more in awe of the ocean… and a bit more aware that while it may not be our biggest fan, it’s still worth fighting for.

Forrest Shaw spent over a decade as a marine and environmental biologist in Florida, working for Miami-Dade County, where he led the Manatee Protection Program and managed large water-quality and habitat-monitoring projects throughout the region. His fieldwork spanned seagrass communities, coral reef habitats, and sea turtle nesting, and he frequently collaborated with state and federal agencies on critical coastal ecosystem studies.

As a comedian Forrest has been featured at Netflix Is A Joke Fest, Just For Laughs Montreal, and Moontower Comedy Festiva. He’s performed on Conan, Live At Gotham, and Jim Jefferies and Friends and his debut special, Poor Decisions can be seen on Amazon.

https://our.show/fenge
Get ready to be amazed — Feng E, the viral ukulele virtuoso from Taiwan, makes his Maine debut! After lighting up stages from Los Angeles to New York City, Feng E now brings his breathtaking talent to New England.

Feng E first stunned the world at just ten years old when his mesmerizing ukulele rendition of Tommy Emmanuel’s Classical Gas went viral. Almost overnight, the young prodigy became an international sensation—appearing twice on The Ellen DeGeneres Show and captivating millions more on Asia’s Got Talent and America’s Got Talent.

Since those early viral days, Feng E has evolved into one of the most electrifying young artists in the global ukulele scene. His dazzling performances have graced stages across Singapore, Malaysia, Japan, China, and Hawaii, earning him international awards and headline slots. His groundbreaking 2024 U.S. West Coast tour wowed audiences with show-stopping sets at the Los Angeles International Ukulele Festival, alongside national TV and radio appearances.

With nearly one million YouTube subscribers and countless millions of views, Feng E continues to push boundaries and redefine what the ukulele can do. In 2025, he headlined the Denver International Ukulele Festival and saw his band Resonance Effect capture the top prize at Taiwan’s Taoyuan Iron Rose Hot Sound Awards—their version of Idol.

Now, this teenage virtuoso returns to U.S. stages, ready to captivate audiences once again. Experience the energy, emotion, and pure joy of an artist who’s redefining a generation of music.
