Sat July 11th10:00 PM


Maria Bamford is best known for her smart stand-up comedy routine that features her using a plethora of different voice impressions. In her act, she shifts through personas and voices—her parents, bitchy former classmates, airheads, co-workers, monsters, Alicia Keys—so seamlessly and with such pitch-perfect imitation that it’s easy to think Bamford is 100 percent vessel, 0 percent real person.

 

 

 

Maria Bamford stars in her own web sitcom on

 

SuperDeluxe.com, stars in the new Comedy Central series, "The Comedians of Comedy Tour" (as well as in the independent film of the same title out on NETFLIX), is in Variety's TOP TEN COMICS TO WATCH, has been the talk of Montreal, Edinburgh, Aspen, Kilkenny and Melbourne Comedy Festivals and was voted by Comedy Central viewers as one of their Top Ten Favorite Comics.

Sat August 1st10:00 PM
Kevin Williams's comedy is smart, inventive and perfectly paced. All of his material is presented with his own slant, from topics unseen to those tread upon, but rediscovered anew. From brutal personal experiences to light-hearted whimsical farce, Kevin's comedy is a true dichotomy*. As soon as he hits the stage, Kevin captures and audience and allows them to laugh as they view the world from his own perverse perspective.

In 2007 Gabriel was selected to perform at the HBO Comedy Festival in Las Vegas, and in 2008 made his debut on the nationally syndicated Bob and Tom Radio show, as well as the Bob and Tom T.V. show on WGN America. Gabriel’s material often takes an honest and self-deprecating look at his own life including his marriage. “Really there is nothing better for you as a couple, then to be out of shape. Eventually you just get to the point where you say “Well honey looks like we’ve eaten ourselves into a monogamous relationship.” And his finances. “Looks like my son is gonna get free school lunch just like his daddy…and his grandpa. We’ve got free school lunch all the way back to the Mayflower. It’s a proud family. We came over on the short boat.”

Bobcat Goldthwait

Comedy Co-starring Sean Gregory
Fri September 11th8:00 PM
Sat September 12th7:30 PM
Sat September 12th10:00 PM


 
As a stand-up comic, Bobcat Goldthwait has been compared to everyone from Lenny Bruce to a Warner Brothers cartoon character on the verge of a nervous breakdown. Whether audiences consider him on the edge or over it, after a dozen films, his own HBO specials, and a myriad of guest spots, Bobcat is still an original. Influenced by George Carlin, Andy Kaufman, Monty Python, and punk bands of the late ‘70’s Goldthwait says “Johnny Rotten has more to do with me than Johnny Carson.”He is most widely known for his high pitch voice during his comedy acts. Having appeared in three "Police Academy" movies, Bobcat has earned a screechingly strong reputation in the world of comedy. The writer, director & star of the critically acclaimed film "Shakes the Clown" Bobcat brings his dark irony & quick thinking to the Penguins Comedy Club for an evening you're sure not to forget.Purchase tickets at etix.com
