The founder of this event, Anthony Morelli, said the idea came to him while getting a tattoo.
'It happened here at 1020 Collective with Less Hess, who owns Andromeda Studios, during the 40 under 40 party, 2022. I was fortunate enough to be honored with that, and they were doing live tattoos here, to a less tattooed me. I was making her laugh while she was tattooing me, and that's when the lightbulb came on,' said Morelli.
The final Flagship Comedy event took place Sunday evening, featuring headliner Ben Roy.
