What if I told you it's a Comedy show and Concert?? Crazy right? Well ladies and Gentleman let me introduce you to FLOC FEST!
What is a FLOC you ask?? Well FLOC is actually an Acronym meaning For Love Of Children. (Floc) is a is a volunteer group which raises funds to provide enrichment and educational activities for children from newborn to 18 years of age throughout the Dayton area. FLOC began servicing area children in 1980, and has grown into an industry of volunteers who are passionate about caring for our neglected, abused and foster care community.
They have teamed up with some of the Local Ohio Talent to create a Festival to raise money for their cause. However they didn't just get anyone... They got some amazing performers.. First off with your Host Comedian Steve Mac.
STEVE MAC
From Dayton Ohio, Steve is just naturally funny. He will be the Host for the Show and will definitely bring stellar Comic Relief. One of The Funniest Dudes you'll ever meet. Steve brings fresh, young, smart, edgy comedy to the table. If you like Dave Chappelle and Kevin Hart, You'll love Steve Mac. He is Definitely causing a Stir in The Ohio Area and is Highly ambitious. "Working harder than a negro slave" as Steve would say, He does Three or Four shows a week, while keeping a full time job. and SELLS OUT on every show. BLESS
