Former NFL wide receiver Antonio Brown has been booked for a comedy appearance at the New England Comedy Club in Cambridge, Massachusetts, on Dec. 18, according to the event promotion described in the supplied report. The listing advertises a performance and meet-and-greet opportunities. Tickets were listed at $77.
The booking comes while Brown faces a criminal case in Florida tied to a May 16, 2025, shooting outside a celebrity boxing event in Miami’s Little Haiti neighborhood. The source describes Brown as facing an attempted-murder charge, but also says prosecutors offered a plea agreement that would reduce the charge. The supplied material does not report a final court outcome.
Brown was expected to enter a no-contest plea to aggravated assault under the reported agreement, which was described as a way to avoid jail time. His court date was postponed. Brown’s attorney, Mark Eiglarsh, said last month that the proposal would substantially lower the criminal charge and result in probation rather than a prison sentence. The source does not provide a new date for the hearing or details about the postponement.
The report says Brown had faced a second-degree murder charge and a potential 30-year prison sentence before the proposed agreement. Because the case remains pending in the information provided, the allegations should not be treated as proven, and the terms described by the attorney are a proposed outcome rather than a completed disposition.
Brown’s NFL career included seven Pro Bowl selections and two seasons leading the league in receiving, according to the report. He played for the Pittsburgh Steelers and later joined the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, where he caught a touchdown in Tampa Bay’s 31-9 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LV. He also played one game for the New England Patriots before the team released him amid a sexual-assault investigation, the source states.
Brown’s final appearance on an NFL field came during the 2022 season with Tampa Bay. During a game, he removed his jersey and equipment and left the field before halftime. The source notes that quarterback Tom Brady was his teammate in Tampa Bay and that the two had also played together in New England.
Since leaving the league, Brown has pursued other public ventures and drawn attention for social-media posts and public stunts, the report says. Those episodes are background to his upcoming comedy booking, but the immediate developments are the scheduled December appearance and the unresolved Florida case. The event promotion, as described by the source, does not provide details about the show’s format or material.
