Bill Boggs News

The Dutch Treat Club welcomed four-time Emmy Award winner Bill Boggs, treating its members to a fascinating afternoon of stories and video clips from his storied career, plus a performance by Broadway veteran Ann Talman.

Cafe Centro may not have a Broadway celeb-filled roster like Jim Caruso’s Cast Party at Birdland. However, the local entertainers who fill the slots at Rob Russell’s Open Mic night at the popular Palm Beach venue are always abundantly talented.

CULTURE & COCKTAILS recently hosted comedy writer Alan Zweibel. 2025 is the 50th anniversary of Saturday Night Live and the legendary Alan Zweibel was one of the show’s original writers. Check out photos from the event.

Culture and Cocktails for Palm Beach hosted an event that gave its audience a wonderful live experience as Bill Boggs interviewed one of the original Saturday Night Live comedy writers, Alan Zweibel.

Comedy writer Alan Zweibel will be joining Culture & Cocktails at The Ben in January. Learn more about upcoming programming and see how to attend the event!

Adrian Galante made his Birdland Jazz Club headline debut on November 26th. Backed by Alan Broadbent on piano, Jay Leonhart on bass, and Obed Calvaire on drums... Adrian played his jazz clarinet (and 2 forays on the piano) with mesmerizing expertise.

Services for Sandi Durell and a celebration of life will occur this Sunday, October 27, at twelve noon at Plaza Jewish Community Chapel located at 630 Amsterdam Avenue. 

The Cultural Council will present three CULTURE & COCKTAILS conversations in early 2025 featuring some exciting personalities from the worlds of entertainment—all at our beautiful venue,

Last night, after a 4 year wait and re-schedules due to COVID and knee surgery, Lucie Arnaz hit the stage of 54Below with all cylinders on burn and guns ablaze! She performed an evening she calls “I GOT THE JOB” and kept the celeb filled New York City audience entranced from beginning to end, garnering multiple ovations that seemed as natural as breathing.

It didn’t take long for the new Cabaret Series at Cafe Centro produced by Sandy Fisher to have diva Carole Bufford added to it’s performance line-up of celebrity vocalists.  Ms. Bufford’s career, once designated as “most likely to succeed” in a New York Times review has certainly lived up to that critic’s expectations.  

The years have been extraordinarily kind to Christine Andreas. The timbre and fidelity of her voice, the beauty in her face, and the spirit of her spunky personality, have defied the aging process. So much so that after being in the audience at The Kravis Center last night for her show Piaf- No Regrets (which I have seen several times at different venues), I revisited my observations and photos of her from past engagements. My prior impressions of Christine are as true today as they were then, as Christine enters her 7th decade.

South Florida is Deborah Silver “Glitter & Grits” country and her fans filled Rinker Playhouse at The Kravis Center last night to be entertained by the hometown glamorous celebrity singing star.  Debbie didn’t disappoint!  Singing and entertaining are organic for the nationally applauded, and energetic enterprising vocalist. Possessing an alluring and coquettish voice, melodically comfortable in many music styles Debbie is a dynamic performer.    

Billy Stritch & Gabrielle Stravelli couldn’t see it from the stage, but behind every audience member’s mask at the Kravis Center last night was a smiling face. Reason being… it’s a rare treat when artists of this caliber join forces for an evening of song.  

Peter Cincotti owned the piano in Birdland last night and it wasn’t because his name was temporarily affixed to the legendary 7 foot Yamaha for his engagement.   Imagine Billy Joel, Harry Connick Jr., Lang Lang, Manilow, and Jerry Lee Lewis on the same piano bench and it will give you an idea of the kind of exciting music at a Cincotti performance. 

The Friars club is back and better than ever. The summer season started out with a sold out series called  “BACK TO BROADWAY, Part 1 ” The event was produced by Friar Jane Shevell. Ms. Shevell ’s productions at  the Friars Club has earned the reputation of “must see”.
