Ring in the New Year with laughter at a sharp, alcohol-free comedy show at the historic Sunshine Brooks Theater (217 N. Coast Highway, Oceanside, CA). Headlined by Brian Kiley and hosted by Tim X Lee, the theater welcomes a relaxed crowd ready to laugh with clear heads. Tim opens with his signature PowerPoint comedy, using clever slides to turn seemingly complex topics into instant punchlines, blending stand-up with science for relatable, visual humor. Brian Kiley closes with his deadpan mastery, mining marriage, parenting, and midlife quirks for big laughs, supported by fresh acts on work-from-home mishaps and family traditions. It’s tight, funny, and over early—perfect for a sober, joyful start to the new year. Brian Kiley on Instagram Tim X Lee on Instagram
