Ivoryton Playhouse to Host Comedy Night, 3/18

By:
Leave winter behind and come out for some big laughs at the Ivoryton Playhouse on Friday, March 18th, when the theatre hosts a very special Comedy Night. Doors open at 7:30pm.

Join Vincent McElhone as he headlines a hilarious night of laughter with a line-up of some of the funniest comedians around!

Vinent McElhone is an Old Saybrook resident for 25 years, and has worked such famous venues as The Tropicana Hotel in Las Vegas, Caroline's on Broadway, Dangerfields in NYC, Mohegan Sun, The Comedy Store in LA, and Catch a Rising Star in Reno, NV - sharing the stage with such acts as Brian Regan, Jim Gaffigan, Dom Irrera, and Denis Leary just to name a few places and people.

He returns to the Ivoryton Playhouse with his special blend of comedy discussing the subjects that are so close to him such as his family, marriage, being raised Irish Catholic and living on the shoreline.

Also on the bill are comedians Tony Liberati and Rick Roberts.

Since making his stand-up debut in 1998, Tony Liberati entertains crowds all over the country. His energetic and charismatic delivery of observational humor connects with all types of audiences and his experience as an elementary school teacher blends a unique feeling of nostalgia and silliness that has audiences crying with laughter. He has been on ABC's America's Funniest People and his jokes have been published alongside greats like Chris Rock and Henny Youngman in The Idiot's Guide to Joke Telling by Alpha Publishing.

Rick Roberts is a lawyer by day and comedian by night. Originally from New York City and now living in Cheshire, CT. Rick has performed in over 300 shows throughout the Northeast. A graduate of the Manhattan School of Comedy through Caroline's, Rick performs regularly at comedy clubs in New York City. His unique and jaded perspective on the frustrations of middle-aged life and modern technology are central themes of his hilarious comedy.

The Ivoryton Playhouse Comedy Night takes place on Friday, March 18 at the Ivoryton Playhouse. Doors open at 7:30pm. Tables of 8 and 6 are available. Tickets are $30.00. Balcony seats are $20.00. Wine and beer cash bar and teacup auction. Please call 860.767.9520 x 205 to book your seats.

In partnership with the Ivoryton Village Alliance. A portion of the proceeds of this event will go toward producing the annual Ivoryton Illuminations in December.
