Eric Thompson estimates he’s done 100 performances at 27 venues since First Night Youngstown started.

The magician and comedian will add to his totals when he performs at the 19th edition of the family-friendly, alcohol-free New Year’s Eve celebration Tuesday.

“What’s cool for me is I’ve been doing it for so long, people come in with their kids who came in with their parents when I started,” Thompson said. “It’s awesome how many people come back and say, ‘I saw you five years ago, I saw you 10 years ago.'”

Thompson will do two shows this year, at 10 p.m. Tuesday at the Youngstown Historical Center of Industry & Labor and 11 p.m. at the Covelli Centre. That’s a lighter schedule than usual, because he’s working another performing job earlier that evening, but Thompson said he enjoys the challenge of shaping his show to the different traditional and nontraditional performance spaces used for First Night Youngstown.

“I’ve gone from performing with Easy Street Productions on stage at DeYor for 500 people to running up the street to a museum or an an office and doing a show for 25 people within an hour of one another,” he said. “It’s fun to adapt.”

This year’s event has activities planned at a dozen venues in the downtown area, including 20 Federal Place, Covelli Centre, Youngstown Historical Center of Industry & Labor, OH WOW! The Roger & Gloria Jones Children’s Center for Science & Technology, YMCA, Ward Beecher Planetarium, One Hot Cookie, St. Columba Parish Hall, Arms Family Museum, Soap Gallery, First Presbyterian Fellowship Hall and Tyler History Center.

Wristbands grant admission to all venues and shuttle service is available to the different destinations.

Making its second appearance at First Night Youngstown will be the acoustic duo Hair Supply. Mike Gum and Timothy Miller played together for years in the band Edison’s Medicine, and Hair Supply performs acoustic versions of the rock staples their former band played while mixing other genres.

“We saw our crowd that followed us in the early 2000s didn’t hang out as late anymore,” Gum said. “We decided, what if we take everything we did with Edison’s Medicine and added some ’70s to it. We’ll do whatever people want — country, ’50s, ’60s, old school.”

Gum said he and Miller enjoyed their first FNY appearance.

“First Night Youngstown was wonderful,” he said. “We had people we met last year actually come out to our shows throughout the area. It was great.”
