 FTC Comedy Presents:
Thomas Nichols Live at OC3
Friday, November 21, 2025, at 8:00 PM (doors at 7:30 PM)
Thomas Nichols is a stand-up comedian based out of Dallas, Texas. His unique and whip smart observations span from everything to cartoons to politics to pineapple Fanta – the laid-back funnyman transitions seamlessly from one tightly crafted joke to the next within the course of a single set. Deadpan, hilarious, and wise beyond his years, Nichols is a nationally touring comic who’s been featured in the horror film Subferatu as Roosevelt. He’s also been a finalist in many comedy festivals like Funniest Comic in Texas Competition, Seattle International Competition and many more.
His unique brand of friendly, effortless cool and his quick wit have made him a favorite recurring guest at the most popular club across the country.
Nichols will be joined by Anna Barden (Organizer of the “Queen for a Day” Comedy Festival) and Nimesh Patel (Finalist of the “Funniest Comic in Dallas” Competition)
 Bonny Leibowitz
Adventures in Plunderland
curated by Iris Bechtol
December 6, 2025 – January 10, 2026
Reception: December 6, 2025, 6:00 – 8:00 PM
at Oak Cliff Cultural Center
Focusing on nature as an “ever-evolving system intricately intertwined with human culture”, Leibowitz constructs hybrid objects and installations that blur boundaries between the manufactured and the organic. Her large-scale installations combine mangled steel, plastics, salvaged architectural materials, tree roots, and branches with photographs that become structures depicting the aftermath of demolished buildings and storms. Informed by post-naturalism and fragmented memories of land and place, her installations function as “facsimiles of nature” considering complex dynamics around environmental stories, histories and constructed narratives.
In conjunction with her show Adventures in Plunderland Leibowitz will present an outdoor installation Sightings from Plunderland at Trinity River Audubon Center, furthering the complex dialogue between humans and nature. The installation will be on view December 13, 2025 – January 10, 2026.
Originally from Philadelphia, Leibowitz lives and works in Dallas, TX. She studied at Temple University at Tyler School of Art in Philadelphia, PA. Her work has been included in solo and group exhibitions nationally. In 2023, she was Visiting Artist at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts. Reviews of her work have been featured in notable publications including Southwest Contemporary Vol. 10 – Radical Futures, ArtSpiel and Modern Dallas. Leibowitz is a recipient of the Nasher Sculpture Center 2024 Nasher Artist Grant and was awarded a 2026 solo exhibition at Women and Their Work in Austin, TX.
Registration is requested for the artist talk and hike on December 13 at Trinity River Audubon Center.
