'...WALK INTO A BAR' Brings Comedy Greats to The Lyric

By: Dec. 08, 2016

"A Jew, an Irishman, and an Italian Walk into a Bar" on Sunday, December 18th at 7pm at The Lyric Theatre.

You know the joke. A Jew, an Irishman, and an Italian Walk into a Bar features Freddie Roman, Jeff Norris, and Richard Minervini in an evening of clean standup comedy that will have you rolling in the aisles. Featuring comedians with nearly 100 years of combined experience, A Jew, an Irishman, and an Italian Walk into a Bar is a comedy evening perfect for the whole family.

Legendary comedian Freddie Roman has been performing on stage since he was a teenager in the Catskills. Beginning his studies in acting at NYU, Roman eventually began touring various theaters in the northeast. The comedian impressed the late, famous Totie Fields one night with his sharp and witty show, and was invited to join Fields on her national tour. This brought Roman into the limelight, and it wasn't long until Freddie Roman became one of the greatest comics of all time. Now, after over half a century working in comedy, Freddie Roman is Dean of the New York Friars Club, the oldest and most influential brotherhood in show business. In addition to standup, Roman has starred in major motion pictures as well as Comedy Central television specials. Roman starred in his own show Tonight Live for a one-year engagement at the Trump Castle in Atlantic City. Performing alongside Freddie Roman in A Jew, an Irishman, and an Italian Walk into a Bar is comedian Jeff Norris. Famous for his ability to emulate a variety of different voices, Norris has performed at venues across the country, including Dangerfields in New York City and The Riviera in Las Vegas. In addition to touring, Norris has also been featured in HBO's series Oz and Boardwalk Empire as well as appearing in the feature films My Super Ex Girlfriend and Anger Management starring Adam Sandler and Jack Nicholson. Norris has also enjoyed success as a headliner on the Royal Caribbean cruise lines.

Joining Roman and Norris is comedian Richie Minervini, whose ability to bring variety to every performance has earned him a reputation as a comedian chameleon. Minervini has appeared in a number of feature films, including Mall Cop, Grownups, and Zookeeper. Richie Minervini performs often in Las Vegas, as well as Atlantic City's Borgata Hotel and Casino. These three comedy stars will perform together live on The Lyric Stage this season. Each comedian brings something a little different, and together, they're a sight to behold. Don't miss A Jew, an Irishman, and an Italian Walk Into a Bar this year at The Lyric Theatre.
