Christine O'Leary's Stand-Up Comedy Grad Showcase Set for 3/29 at Ridgefield Playhouse

Host and teacher Christine O'Leary, a professional comedian, has taken her Stand-Up Comedy Writing Workshop students on an eight-week journey of writing and practicing their routines. It all culminates on stage at The Ridgefield Playhouse on Sunday, March 29, at 10 a.m., in a rare opportunity to see up-and-coming comics make their debut in The Comedy Workshop Graduation Showcase. Complimentary bagels and schmears will be served in the lobby before the show.

Teacher and coach Christine O'Leary is an award-winning professional comedienne, social worker, project manager, social media editor, and co-dependent social butterfly whose Comedy Writing Workshop has become so popular that it went into "double sessions", with another Showcase event on Sunday, April 12.

O'Leary's off-the-cuff interactions and improv are the forte of her comedy, and storytelling is her crafted skill. She urges people to attend the Comedy Graduation Showcase "...to see these hysterical newborn comics who had more guts than you did eight weeks ago when they signed up! Comedy is a way to tell the truth."
