The last time Delaware-born comedian Ian Fidance headlined in his hometown, it was more than three years ago at the baby grand in Wilmington.

Since then, moved to New York, made his television stand-up debut, appeared on SiriusXM’s “Bennington” and has honed his act “nightly in clubs and dingy basements all over New York City and its surrounding boroughs,” he jokes.

Before moving north, Fidance, 32, made a name for himself in Delaware as the first winner of the annual LOL@TheGrand comedy competition at The Grand. (LOL returns March 24 and tickets, $10, are on sale now at thegrandwilmington.org.)

Fidance’s homecoming will span across two shows in one night Friday at Wilmington’s Spaceboy Clothing, 711 N. Market St., which has a basement performance space.

He is scheduled for sets at 7 p.m. and 9 p.m. with $10 tickets available in advance at eventbrite.com. The show is BYOB.

Brooklyn comedian Katie Hannigan will perform on both shows. Wilmington’s Brandon Jackson at 7 and “Golden Thrones” host and Wilmington native Jon DelCollo kicks things off at 9.
