DINNER BUFFET
This year’s Annual Auction event is bringing a whole new energy—and trust us, you’re going to want to be there. We’re turning up the fun with a night full of laughter, great company, and an auction packed with incredible finds. From unique experiences to must-have items perfect for holiday gifting (or treating yourself), there’s something for everyone to get excited about. This year we're excited to add a Comedy Show with three amazingly funny comedians - Steve Bjork, Mike Koutrobis, and Gianni Saltalamacchia. Don’t miss your chance to be part of one of the Chamber’s most anticipated nights of the year—all while supporting the Tri-County Regional Chamber and the local business community.
Ways to Participate
Bringing the Laughs All Night Long
This year, we’re turning up the fun with live comedy that will keep the room buzzing with laughter from start to finish - it’s a full night of entertainment. Come out for a fun night of bidding on auction items, comedy show, good company, and plenty of laughs! Small Biz, Big Laughs will feature three comedians, each with their own style and personality. We’ll also have an exciting auction, making it a great night out while supporting the Tri-County Regional Chamber.
MEET THE COMEDIANS
Steve Bjork - The Boston Globe recently described Steve Bjork as “one of the top names” in New England stand-up comedy. He’s come a long way from his nights of frying up mozzarella sticks in the back room of a popular Boston comedy club. He was a college student, using that part-time job to study the craft of stand-up comedy by catching glimpses of the performers on stage.
Today, Bjork is a polished veteran of the highly competitive Boston comedy scene with crisscrossing tours of the country under his belt. His material is intelligent and accessible, but first and foremost, it is funny. Bjork takes everyday life and turns it upside down in a way that any audience can enjoy.
From the supermarket, to recess, to family life; Bjork crafts hysterical anecdotes and observations. Want to know how to liven up an elevator ride or make the most out of your time on line at the bank?
Mike Koutrobis - For over 20 years, Mike Koutrobis has entertained audiences nationwide with high-energy storytelling, quick wit, and relatable humor. A favorite in the New England comedy scene, he has performed at venues including Foxwoods, Mohegan Sun, Gotham Comedy Club, and the Borgata, as well as for U.S. troops overseas.
His latest special, Nobody Gave Me the Manual, highlights his animated take on modern life, aging, fatherhood, and everyday absurdities. Mike has also appeared in films and national commercials, worked behind the scenes on major film productions, and spent eight seasons as a writer and producer for The Steve Katsos Show.
Gianni Saltalamacchia is a fast-rising New England comedian known for his quick wit, relatable storytelling, and easy, natural stage presence. Performing throughout the Boston, Providence, and greater New England comedy scenes, Gianni has built a style that feels conversational, energetic, and immediately familiar to audiences.
Drawing inspiration from everyday life, family, relationships, and the strange little moments we all recognize, he turns ordinary experiences into sharp, memorable comedy. His expressive delivery and ability to connect with a crowd make every set feel fresh and spontaneous. Whether he is performing on a local showcase or helping bring a comedy night together, Gianni brings plenty of personality to the stage.
Smart, high-energy, and effortlessly funny, Gianni leaves audiences laughing long after the show is over.
