The evening features these extraordinary standup comedians:
Headliner – Louis Ramey
Comedy veteran Louis Ramey has been performing stand-up for 20 years. Louis can be seen currently hosting TV Land Prime Movie Blocks. Other recent TV appearances include TBS Presents: A Very Funny Festival: Just For Laughs, and TBS Promo's Bitcoms. He has been all over TV and the Net. You have seen him as a finalist on NBC's Last Comic Standing, NBC's The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, ABC Daytime's The View and NBC's Last Call with Carson Daly among many other television appearances in the U.S., Canada and abroad. Voted by students as "Campus Performer of the Year", Louis Ramey is a strong headliner and a guaranteed crowd pleaser.
Opener – Mike Gaffney.
Mike Gaffney has been performing for over a decade. He has appeared on The Artie Lange Show on Direct TV, was on the first season of Gotham Comedy Live on AXS TV and was a semi-finalist on season 8 of Last Comic Standing on NBC. Executive Producer Wanda Sykes was so impressed with Mike, she used his clip to promote Last Comic Standing on the Ellen Show on NBC as well as The View on ABC.
Host – John Iavarone
Our host John Iavarone has been doing stand-up comedy for 2,920 days (not in a row). He was born in the Bronx and lived there until his mom decided to migrate miles away (two to be exact) onto the mean streets of ... Westchester. John's audience describes his hysterically funny set in one word: honest, original, and animated! OK, that was one word, but from three different audiences.
Thank you so much, and we hope to see you on Nov. 18. It’s going to be a funny night!
