With the opening this weekend of a new 150-seat club in Beverly, local comedy is getting a boost.

The first show Saturday night at Off Cabot: Comedy & Events features three Boston comics at different stages of their careers: Tony V. is a veteran with roots in the ‘80s Boston comedy boom, Corey Rodrigues is a younger headliner whose 2020 Dry Bar Comedy special has had 2.5 million online views, and Laura Severse is working herself into headlining territory.

Severse, who just returned from exploring the club scene in Los Angeles, is excited to be playing a new room on opening night, and to be on a bill in such distinguished company. “You’ve got wildly different perspectives that are going to hit that stage that night,” she says, “which is going to be amazing.”
