Headlines October 14 – 16

John Caparulo was born and raised in East Liverpool, Ohio (with a 7-year stint in North Canton), and began his stand-up career in 1997. His sharp wit, unique delivery, and affinity for cuss words made him a crowd favorite right off the bat. After graduating from Kent State University, he left behind a lucrative career patching potholes to take his talent to the left coast.

There he spent the next four years working the door at the world famous Comedy Store and cutting grass at a local golf course. Cap’s first big break came at the 2003 Just For Laughs Festival in Montreal, where he impressed the industry observers enough to offer him a sitcom deal. It was then he was able to trade in his weed-whacker for a microphone full-time. He then applied his blue collar work ethic to the stage, where he now performs nearly 365 nights a year.

In recent years, Cap’s simple approach to life and comedy has landed him 3 appearances on The Tonight Show, a half-hour special on Comedy Central, and a spot on the Next Generation of the Blue Collar Comedy Tour (DVD in stores NOW!!). In 2008, Cap was featured as one of the four comedians on Vince Vaughn’s Wild West Comedy Show, which hit theaters in February and is now available on DVD. He also recently finished hosting the first season of MOBILE HOME DISASTER on CMT.

Yes, John Caparulo is living proof that you really can do something with your life even if you don’t wake up before noon!!

Headlines October 15 Th For One Night Only!

From Comedy Central and “Chelsea Lately”

Jo Koy has been filling clubs across the nation and has is seen weekly as a regular guest on Chelsea Lately. Jo Koy has come a long way from his modest start performing at a Las Vegas coffee house. His infectiously explosive energy on stage, insightful jokes and family inspired humor cross all boundaries and led Daily Variety to name him one of the “10 Comics to Watch”.

Born in Tacoma, Washington, Jo credits his mother for his comedic and acting talents. Growing up, his mother constantly encouraged him to take part in school talent shows or present impromptu performances for his family and friends. This encouragement led to the Las Vegas coffee house, then a move to Los Angeles, and finally a performance on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno in 2005. He became one of a select
few to ever receive a standing ovation on the show.

Since his Tonight Show performance, Jo was part of Carlos Mencia’s “Punisher Tour” in 2006. He has appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live, Last Call with Carson Daly, BET’s Comic View, Jamie Foxx Presents: Laffapalooza, and appeared in various VH1 I Love the 70′s, 80′s and 90′s episodes. His Comedy Central special “Don’t Make Him Angry” aired in January, 2009 and is now available on DVD. He is a regular featured comedian at the world famous Improv, tours the college circuit nationwide and performs in comedy clubs both in the US and internationally.

Come to a neighborhood where everyone is under the influence of famous playwrights. Each household has characters  who take on all of the elements of a playwrights style as though it were part of their culture. The genre elements are as normal to them as a foreign language would be to us! The characters interact with each other and the fun begins.

See how a Shakespearian character might interact with someone out of a Sondheim play! Watch how a greek comedy household must deal with similar neighborhood issues as their neighbors with the “hot tin roof!”

Four nights with three different styles each night, improvised by a highly experienced cast, means you’ll never see the same show twice.
