April Fool’s Day Atheist Comedy Festival ============================================================================= Paul Herzich and Gabe Rodriguez, Producers ========================================= OUR ALL-STAR LIST OF COMICS By popular demand, “Professor” Irwin Corey will be with us with a new act. Born 1914 in Brooklyn, NY, he is an American comic, film actor and left-wing political activist who is often billed as “The World’s Foremost Authority.” He introduced his unscripted, improvisational style of stand-up comedy at Enrico Banducci’s San Francisco club, the hungry i. Lenny Bruce once described Corey as “one of the most brilliant comedians of all time.” Alexandro is a Queens, NY native who attended Queens College and majored in music. Following that, he obtained a Masters degree in elementary education. He began to teach music by day and by night he worked on his stand-up comic career. Since then, Alexandro has appeared on The Late Show with David Letterman, Late Night with Conan O’Brien, Jimmy Kimmel Live, The View and two half-hour Comedy Central Presents specials. ---------------------------------- John grew up on Long Island “in the heart of the Guido Belt,” he says. Now he lives in both Greenwich Village, NY and Hollywood. This makes him bi-coastal, though his parents maintain he’s just confused. His mother is an ex-Nun and his father was a Franciscan Brother. His Drama-League-nominated Off-Broadway solo show, “ALL THE WRONG REASONS,” was based on their love story. He has appeared on “Politically Incorrect” more than 20 times and Bill Maher called him “one of my favorite comedians.” He has been featured onCNN, Fox News, Dennis Miller, Air America, CNBC, and he has been published on The Huffington Post and Daily Kos. Oh, he also co-hosted “Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve.” Harrison was born in Manhattan and grew up in Long Island. He attended Harvard, where he graduated summa cum laude in 2008. While at Harvard, he founded the Harvard College Stand-Up Comic Society. He has performed at many of the leading comedy clubs through the world including Caroline’s on Broadway, Gotham Comedy Club, Comix NY, Comic Strip Live and the Laugh Factory. He is also a writer for MAD Magazine and the winner of the 2010 Andy Kaufman Award, given in recognition of creativity and originality in comedy. ------------------------------- Standup comedy teacher Dave LaBarca always knew he wanted to be a comic. “Comedy looked cool,” LaBarca reasoned. “And possible. I didn’t play sports very well in the schoolyard, so I’m probably not gonna play for the Mets. But comedy looked like something I could actually pull off.” Dave, who was our emcee for our NYCA Solstice Comedy Fest, will also emcee for our NYCA April Fool’s Nite show. --------------------------------- ------------------------------- |
