Fumi Abe

Event Preview: A Late-Night Comedy Set with Fumi Abe

For those who prefer their Friday nights to stretch well past the traditional dinner hour, Fumi Abe offers a late-night reason to head to Punch Line. On Friday, September 11, 2026, at 9:45 PM, Abe takes the stage with Arthur Gaus featured on the lineup and Benton Harshaw serving as host. The later start time makes this performance a natural fit for audiences looking to extend their evening with live comedy and a night out at the club.

Fumi Abe is the featured comedian for the performance, while Arthur Gaus adds another performer to the evening’s lineup. Benton Harshaw will host, helping guide the show from one part of the evening to the next. The supplied information does not specify particular comedy styles, themes, or set material for any of the performers, so the focus here is simply on the live stand-up format and the opportunity to see this lineup perform in person.

The timing also shapes the venue experience. Doors open 30 minutes before the 9:45 PM show, giving guests a short window to arrive, get settled, and prepare for the performance. If you’re planning a later Friday outing, the schedule provides a straightforward option for ending the night with live entertainment rather than heading home early.

As with any night at a comedy club, there are a few practical details worth knowing ahead of time. This performance is 18 and over, and guests must have a valid, government-issued photo ID. There is also a two-beverage minimum per person, so attendees should plan to meet that requirement during the show. To keep the experience focused on the performers and audience, cameras and video/audio recording devices are not permitted.

There is a charitable component to the evening as well. $0.25 from each ticket sold for a majority of Punch Line events benefits Comedy Gives Back, which provides a safety net for the comedy community.

If late-night laughter sounds like the right way to cap off your Friday, consider making Punch Line your destination. Fumi Abe, featuring Arthur Gaus and hosted by Benton Harshaw, takes the stage at 9:45 PM. Arrive when doors open, settle in, and enjoy a night of live stand-up in a setting built for comedy.
