ADAMS, Mass. — ZipStohr Comedy is back at the Adams Theater on Saturday, July 26 at 7:30 p.m. with a night of comedy featuring Tim Krompier and John Ziegler. 
 
According to a press release:
 
Tim Krompier is a dynamic comedy veteran whose performances are both deeply personal and irresistibly entertaining. His style blends autobiographical storytelling with physically expressive character work, all delivered with a self-aware charm that reflects the wit of a seasoned performer and the mischief of a reformed partygoer. A regular in comedy clubs and theaters nationwide, Tim has earned a reputation as a loveable and charismatic headliner. 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. His first Comedy Special, "Getting My Affairs in Order" is available on Youtube. He currently headlines clubs across the country and regularly tours with legendary comedian Bobby Collins.
 
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.
 
Tickets are $22.99-$35 including fees. Note: Our comedy shows often contain adult themes. Audience discretion is advised.

Adams Fire District Holds Special Meeting Thursday

By Sabrina DammsiBerkshires Staff
ADAMS, Mass. — Voters in the Fire District will decide on six articles for a special district meeting on Thursday at 6 p.m. in the firehouse. 
 
The warrant includes two articles that have proved to be controversial during previous meetings and were shot down in the past. Warrant here
 
Article 1 requests that voters authorize changing the clerk and treasurer positions from elected to appointed. 
 
The Prudential Committee is putting forth this question again because the state Department of Revenue recommends appointing key financial positions to ensure they are qualified, and it is hard to put training requirements on elected officials. 
 
Currently, district voters elect officials every three years, though candidates aren't required to have specific experience or knowledge about governmental operations. 
 
Appointed officials would be selected based on expertise, require a medical exam and drug and criminal background check, and report directly to the Prudential Committee. 
 
This proposal failed during previous meetings, including being narrowly shot down 81-85 on the May 2025 election ballot, along with companion questions for appointing the assistant engineers.
