Show: Eric Neumann Headline
Venue: Carolines on Broadway
Location:
1626 Broadway NYC
Time: 7:30pm
Description of Show and Lineup:

Here is a list of things that I call “accomplishments”, but my Jewish mom calls “distractions from finding a wife” I’m a New York based comedian and a regular performer at Comic Strip Live, New York Comedy Club, Carolines On Broadway, Broadway Comedy Club and Greenwich Comedy Club, as well as New York’s alternative rooms.  I have performed at various festivals including The New York Comedy Festival, Laughing Skull Festival, Laughing Devil Festival and Hoboken Comedy Festival. I’ve headlined Caroline’s On Broadway twice, once in 2015, and 2016, and sold out both shows. Hollywood Radio and Television Society named me “One of the hottest rising star stand-up comedians in New York”. That was nice of them. My audio clips have been featured on Rooftop Comedy’s “Best Of” collection and have aired on Sirius XM Radio, Spotify and Audible. In 2016, I contributed material to The Comedy Central Roast Of Rob Lowe.  I continue to tour around the country, but still with all of this stage time, I am yet to have a year that financially tops my Bar Mitzvah year- if you book me you can help make this sad reality go away.

Pete Correale is one of the best comedians working today.

Plus a brand new one hour special on Showtime titled Let Me Tell Ya.
Pete’s success is directly correlated to his ability to dissect his life, whether talking about being a husband and father or the joy of ice cream; people laugh because they see their own lives through Pete. Simply put, Pete Correale performs his craft on a level very few comedians are working at today and he always delivers a knockout performance.

Show: NY Kings of Comedy Tour
Venue: Carolines on Broadway
Location:
1626 Broadway NYC
Time: 7:30pm, 10pm, 11:55pm
Description of Show and Lineup:

Every once in awhile there is an event that takes place that makes you shake you head and say that was truly AMAZING.  The NY Kings Comedy Tour is just that event.  Consisting of Capone, Talent Harris, Rob Stapleton, Mark Viera and Drew Fraser, you can expect the laughs to begin from the moment the first NY King walks to the stage.  Be assure.. there are no ‘soft’ or ‘weak’ spot in the line-up. From the top of the show, through the end, you will laugh like you’ve never laughed before.  One the most unique aspects about the NY Kings is the versatility of the Tour.  Talent Harris has the uncanny gift that commands your attention and never lets it go, as his hilarious presence swoops you in for an hysterical, magical ride within the first few moments.  Drew Fraser’s unique, high-pitch, side-splitting analyst, quickly begins to crack the first rib. Just as the pain subsides, Rob Stapleton steps to the stage and hits you with his in your face, fast-paced style, which slowly begins to make your eye’s water with laughter.  After a few moments of catching your breathe and just when you think your getting it all together again, Mark Viera’s beyond funny tales about his family and latino upbringing will have you running out of your seat.  At this point most shows have hit the wall and are ready to come to a close. Not the NY Kings!  At this point, the show reaches new heights when Capone steps up to the stage and turns things out with his patented , rambunctious energy that only a few can with his take on everything and everyone. With credits that include HBO’s Def Comedy Jam, HBO’s Bad Boys of Comedy, Jaime Foxx’s Laffapoolza, Comedy Central Specials, BET’s Comicview, Showtime Specials, movies and TV pilots, to name a few. The NY Kings Comedy Tour officially beckons to be the talk of the town in New York and around the country.  Dates officially start in 2017 but this Special Engagement stop will be held at Carolines on Broadway to launch what will soon be one of the most talked about and anticipated tours of the upcoming year.
