“We are thrilled that we have recognized the community’s desire for comedy. It appears that people really want a chance to just sit back and laugh,” said Schoolhouse General Manager Quinn Cassavale.
Organized in conjunction with Adam Oliensis of LoHud Comedy, the comedy night will feature professional comics Frank Vignola, Peter Keepnews, and Marla Schultz. Collectively, they have honed their craft on Comedy Central, Gotham Comedy Club, and Caroline’s.
Vignola has been considered a “comic's comic” for more than 20 years. Besides television appearances on Comedy Central, CBC (Toronto) and Discovery Channel Europe. Vignola also appeared at Montreal’s prestigious “Just for Laughs” Comedy Festival with Bill Maher.
Keepnews decided to become a stand-up comedian late in life. He has not regretted that decision for a minute. Observing life from the perspective of one who is, as he prefers to put it, gently used, Keepnews has surprised and delighted audiences of all ages at Caroline’s, Comix, Gotham, Broadway and other top New York comedy clubs.
Schultz has headlined across the world from performing in London to entertaining the troops in Japan. Prior to headlining, Schultz opened for some of comedy's hottest acts; Jim Breuer, Chelsea Handler and Gilbert Gottfried. Marla began her standup career in New York City where she is a regular at Gotham Comedy Club, The Comic Strip Live and Caroline’s.
