John Heffron: Michigan Made. Nationally Funny.

The Brighton Howell Area is excited to welcome award-winning comedian John Heffron back to his Michigan roots for a night of laugh-out-loud storytelling you’ll be talking about long after the show ends.

A South Lyon native and Eastern Michigan University alum, John has spent more than 35 years mastering the art of relatable, real-life comedy. You’ve seen him on The Tonight Show, Comedy Central, countless specials, and of course, as the winner of NBC’s Last Comic Standing. But his Michigan tie-ins are what make this show feel like catching up with an old friend—whether you grew up nearby, wiped out next to him at Mt. Brighton, or recognize the everyday Midwest moments he brings to life onstage.

John’s style is clean, nostalgic, and wonderfully accurate to life. His stories resonate with anyone navigating the humor in aging gracefully, parenting, relationships, technology mishaps, and the general chaos of being “kinda” grown up. It’s what he calls Americana Comedy—relatable, story-driven stand-up without the politics or shock factor.
