Show: Bill Bellamy at Gotham Comedy Club
Venue: Gotham Comedy Club
Location:208 West 23rd Street

Description of Show and Lineup:Using his experiences growing up in Newark, Bill Bellamy started doing stand-up while he was a student at Rutgers University. Bellamy quickly discovered how much he enjoyed making people laugh, and began honing his skills at small comedy clubs around the country and was soon making waves in the New York clubs like The Improv, The Comic Strip, and at The Comedy Store in Los Angeles.
Two short years later, Bellamy earned a spot on HBO’s DEF COMEDY JAM where he notoriously coined the phrase “Booty Call.” The now famous late-night rendez-vous moniker became the name for his first comedy special for Showtime; “Booty Call” and it was instantly one of the network’s top-rated specials. On the heels of the success of that special, and in the years following, Bellamy became a staple on MTV as one of the first “VJs” on the network. He hosted several of their programming blocks, including MTV JAMS and MTV BEACH HOUSE, while interviewing everyone from the late Kurt Cobain to Janet Jackson.

Description of Show and Lineup:Witch Hunt comedy show was inspired by the Salem Witch Trials of 1692 in Colonial Massachusetts where many women were accused of witchcraft and burned at the stake. This show is in memory of those women and all the female comedians who when they see an all male lineup want to set themselves on fire.
Did you know that all female comedians are actually witches? We have powers beyond making people laugh. Like for example, we live forever. This is an all female comedy show plus one or two male mortals whose lives we decided to spare. We hope to see you so we can make you laugh for eternity!
