Anyway, I will be with the very Funny Sky Sands tonight. What makes this show so fun is that it is exactly 1.5 minutes from my house!!!
In January on the 23rd I will be at the VFW in Canandaigua NY for a Rip roarin' good time. Hope to see you all there!!!!!

The folks at the VFW post were fantastic! The room was set up when we got there and the stage was perfect.
Dan Viola was my MC tonight and he did such a great job. Danny is a very clean comic and always gets the job done. Our feature for the night was Dave Schmidt.
Dave does one of the best Christopher Walken impressions I have ever heard. He was a lot of fun and the group really liked him.
When I came up, there was a Very drunk woman in the front row. She was kind of a pain in the ass, but I took care of the situation quick. Her daughters , on the other hand were incredibly sweet and alot on the HOT side. all in all the show was alot of fun.

Alexandria's in Buffalo was So much fun!!!!!!!!

The bar was beautiful and the girls were too!!!!! There was a hottie who turned forty and when Danny did his bit about the birthday cake she said it would be in her dreams! The show went very good. Danny Liberto MC'd and was hot. The room has a great set up for comedy. Matt Rohr took the stage and felt at ease. He did as good as I have seen him do in the past. I like him.

I came up and tried a few new things, not all were great but were well recieved. I did the tippical poopy humer, and it went great. I love when I se people wiping their eyes.

Castle Grisch Winery

Hey, the Winery was so hot. It was a georgeous day for a drive and an incredibly awesome crowd. Paris opened the show as strong as ever! She was hotter than hot!!!!!!
Dan viola featured for a crowd that abslutley loved him. He did as good if not better than ever. The night was great all around We had an unbeleivable reception from the crowd. Only 30 people and you would have thought it was 300!!!!!!
Check out the winery's website at www.castelgrisch.com for up coming shows!!!!

The Phelps Hotel!!!!

2007-05-07T14:57:00.000-05:00

Built in 1868!!! HOLY CRAP! This was so fun. The show was a fund raiser for "A Chemical Free Graduation" for the Mid Lakes High school Class of 2007.
Dan Viola open the show and was fantastic. His bit about achronyms was hysterical. The Dan, being a teacher, fit in just perfectly. Joey Fico captivated the crowd with his wit and ability to take the fact the he is a little big. I enjoyed the hell out of myself. The crowd sparked right up to the bathroom humor. I mentioned the fact that they have a sign on one dor that said "Restroom and Handicap Exit"!!!! The best was the sign in the parking lot that stated "Any Motor vehicles left unmoved for over 96 hours will be towed!!!!!!
96 HOURS?????????.
All in all a Geat Show. The food at the restaurant smelled and looked Phenominal and the prices were good. I would love to play here again!!!!

Porta Bello's Cooperstown Was BIG FUN!!!!!

2007-03-26T15:29:00.000-05:00

We got into town on Saturday around 5pm. This was a great thing because we needto set up the sound before Debbie started to serve dinner. I worked with Danny Liberto and Joe Fico. We had alot of fun. The show started at the restaurant with a small crowd (under 20) but Danny had a great opening set. He asked the question " Where are the Bush supporters"? Thie response was good some some against. The biggest applause came from the two people at the front table from Connecticut. Joe Fico featured for us. Joe was funny as hell! He was, just as we all were, struggling with the thought of watching his language. Dan and I enjoyed that quite a bit. Half way through joe's set the couple in the front left. When Danny came back up, His opening line was "I feel like John Kerry, I just lost Connecticut"!!!
Danny brought me up to a Wild round of applause. Well actually two people were clapping but it was loud!! I had alot of fun. The folks from the bed and breakfast were cool. Older couple that laughed at everything. They are where I focused my attention. I wish I could say that we sold tons of stuff afterwards but NOT.

Brae-Burn Rec Center Dansville NY!!!!!!

2007-01-22T09:30:00.000-05:00

What a fun show this was. Where else can you Bowl, Shoot Pool and Play Mini Golf all inside!!!!! Hosted by Dan Liberto, we had laughs even before starting. Problems with our lighting had me trying to rig a desk lamp to a chair. The folks in the front definitely we had lost our minds. The show started right on time and Dan had a riot with the crowd. There was a guy in the back named Earl or something along those lines, who told us every old joke there was. Not once did he get the wording right. It was quite humorous. Also a Birthday girl in the front row named Gidget!!!!
I don't think I need to go any further. Laurie and Gary were our contacts and they treated us GREAT!!! THANKS YOU GUYS!!!
I went up and had a blast!!! I had some family in the crowd and they still talked to me after the show. I guess I didn't hit any taboo spots with them. Sold some things Had Fun and home to sleep What a Great time!.

TWO ATV'S Parked outside!!!!!!

2006-12-05T21:53:00.000-05:00

The Funny Farm in Gloversville NY was a real good time. The folks that own The fireside are Top Notch!!! I had a small intimate crowd on Friday and had a ball. I was a little nervous when I came downstairs and saw two ATV's parked outside the door. Turns out they belonged to two guys sitting by the fire sharing a caraffe of wine......Brokeback Funny Farm? The Saturday night show was sold out and the crowd was perfect. I had so much fun!! I WANT TO GO BACK!!!!!!!!!

Big Fun in Waterloo NY!!!!!!!

Saturday 9/30/06
We had an awesome time at The Upperdeck Sports bar. Ed and Kitty have taken the old club that was there and turned it into a GREAT Place. The staff was great and the audience was rockin! The night started off with the truly amazing and always fun Dan Liberto. When Danny takes the stage he immediately takes control. The crowd went from chatter to laughter quickly. Danny had a new bit about personal ads that kicked the crowd into high gear. There was a local guy named "Flipper" He was fun but nervous. Flipper did good but if he calms down a little he will be alot of fun. Next up was D-Lo Dan Brown. D-Lo is always a crowd pleaser and had a great set on Saturday. He is just back from a two night whirlwind tour of West Virginia and Michigan (his agent needs a map). Danny's "Old Strippers" is great. When I came up the crowd was ripe they have been going strong for over an hour and now it's my turn. The last time I was there, there was a gentleman in a wheelchair the got to laughing so hard he rolled off the step Ass over Tea kettle in the Foosball table. He was fine. He was here on Saturday and had just as much fun but without the rolling. Robbie was very cool. I had a couple new bits thrown in and Tim and Sara, in the front row, were cool with me asking all the personal stuff I could. At the end of the evening I did well, sold some shirts DVD's and CD's the Crowd was AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Fargo Bar and Grill!

Aurora New York was a ton of fun on Saturday September 9th 2006 for Pat Duffy and a myself. Pat opened the two man show with a killer set of fun. There was a gentleman at the front table wearing a green sand pail on his head and a Pineapple on top of that!!!! He was the focus of Pat's jokes and everyone had a great time. He was a very good (drunk) Sport. The show was held out back in the courtyard behind the bar. They were having their Firehouse Chili Cook-off and Comedy Show. I took the sidewalk by storm. I picked a little bit on Sherri the manager and was quickly reminded that she was the one paying us. It was fun and the question was thrown out, "What does Rochester have that Aurora doesn't?" the answer of course "Teeth".
Not everyone was lacking, But the woman who asked, was!!!

The one and only... Pat Duffy!

What's up with the pineapple on your head?

A view of Joe form the balcony...

Joe gets serious with the crowd...

Another wonderful group of folks at an American Legion Post

2006-07-01T07:56:00.000-05:00

Last night at the Sons of the American Legion Post in Honeoye NY was fun. The show started with Beth Finster doing a guest spot. Beth is a fun chick from Canandaigua and always has a group of the prettiest girls in town, she calls her support team. Pat Duffy came in with "comedy fists a blazin!" He handeled the crowd with ease and made it known that people should know they're ugly at an early age. I headlined the event and the crowd made it so fun to be Joe Bruno. Our host for the night was the ever popular, Dan Liberto. Dan is so great to watch. He just takes such control of a room and turns whatever crowd he has, into a laugh machine. He maintains the flow of the show, Perfectly! There were two kids in the room, one 11 and one 8. I told them that the only reason they were there with their grandparents is so the grandparents won't be asked to baby sit ever again! I would love to be a fly on the wall the next morning when mom and dad found out where they spent their night. " WHAT WERE YOU THINKING? BRINGING OUR CHILDREN TO A COMEDY SHOW AT THE LODGE!!!???!?!?!?"
At any rate it was a great show and the gang had fun.

The host of the evening... Dan Liberto!

Dan has fun with the crowd.

Pat Duffy...

Smile Pat!

Joe...

Great show!
