He also maintains a strong presence in New York City and Long Island, where he performs weekly.
 
John Ziegler, born and raised in New York, John was the winner of the 2016 "Funniest Comic on the East Coast" Contest at Mohegan Sun.  John has opened for such comics as Sebastian Maniscalco, Gilbert Gottfried, Jim Breuer and Robert Klein.

ZipStohr Comedy was originally created by Rick Stohr and David "Zip" Zerbato in 2005. Over the years, they brought many comedians to Pittsfield, including big names like Bill Burr, Michael Che, and John Mulaney. Zip passed away after a long battle with diabetes, and Rick has continued to book shows in honor of his dear friend. The Adams Theater is delighted to become a home for ZipStohr's programming.

Greylock Glen Outdoor Center Focuses on Mindful Growth After Busy Fall Season

By Jack GuerinoiBerkshires Staff
ADAMS, Mass. — The Greylock Glen Outdoor Center has been filled with thousands of visitors this fall, and Executive Director Daniel Doyle told the Selectmen on Wednesday that the facility is now focusing on moving from possibility to purpose.
 
"I'm looking forward to growing mindfully but not exponentially… but it has been incredibly exciting for the town, for me, and the county," Doyle said during his presentation Wednesday. "I can feel the energy of possibility up there…the mountain is magical. The town, the people here. There is so much potential and there is so much to do. Some things we are just starting to realize, but it will take a lot of work and time."
 
Doyle, who was hired in the summer, first outlined some of the guiding goals for his initial months at the Outdoor Center. These included truly grasping the history of the Glen—not only from a community perspective but also as a development project.
 
"It is realizing the town as an adult and as a professional, in a very different capacity than when I was when I lived here previously," Doyle, who grew up in Adams, said. " ….I want to understand the history of the Glen, the development of this project and get a better handle on the potential next steps for the space."
 
Beyond that, he wanted to establish firm policies and efficiencies to better manage the Outdoor Center, noting that this is always a work in progress.
 
"We have a limited budget and a limited capacity so that makes it important to waste nothing, especially our time," he said. "There is a lot to do and it takes time to put those systems in place."
 
Above all, Doyle wants to fill and use the space.
