COMICS: "FLUFFY" & AMY SCHUMER

LAST MONTH I HAD THE PLEASURE OF SEEING TWO UP & COMING COMICS THAT ARE QUICKLY BECOMING HOUSEHOLD NAMES:

GABRIEL "FLUFFY" IGLESIAS  &  AMY SCHUMER


Amy Schumer 



RUN & SEE THEM BEFORE THEY START FILLING RADIO CITY OR MADISON SQUARE GARDEN--WHICH THEY WILL...

AMY SCHUMER IS GREAT ! To see this amazing talent, watch the Comedy central roasts (Rosanne Barr's being the latest). Now a Chelsea girl in our own NYC, Amy looks like a sweet, salesgirls at "Forever 21" but hold on to your seats she's a potting mouth who can back that with wit & innovation. I had the pleasure to meet her at Gotham on Thursday Sept 16th.--she couldn't be sweeter!

GABRIEL "FLUFFY" IGLESIAS IS IN A LEAGUE OF HIS OWN-ENJOY HIS LOVABLE WIT AND CLEAN (yes clean , parents bring their kids to his show, after seeing his 90 min set he did not utter a single curse, only  the occasional double entendre ). Watch him on on youtube.

I have seen many comedians in my day but he stands, right now, in 2012, at the top of the male ones!!! He offers a well produced show full of energy & good vibes. His 5 opening acts were great as well. You definitely feel like you get your money's worth.He was sold out quickly at WESTBURY in Long Island. For us, the schlep was long but we came back wanting to see him again--anywhere-soon! Right Olivia?

  I was studying him like a piece of art, which in his profession can be described as high art. It was pure laughter magic! He is actually better in person; but for now, enjoy his comedic antics on youtube.

TREAT YOURSELF TO:

"OLD JEWS TELLING JOKES"--play

"OLD JEWS TELLING JOKES"- 

OY!!!!!

A NEW PLAY -OFF BROADWAY-AT THE WESTSIDE THEATER, NYC.

A LAUGH ABOUT EVERY OTHER MINUTE. IF YOU CAN GET TIX FOR UNDER $60-RUN!!!

OVERALL A NIGHT OF BELLY-ACHING LAUGHS WITH RECYCLED TRADITIONAL, BORSCHT BELT MATERIAL INSERTED WITH SOME GOOD NEW ONES (don't let the "old" fool you, some jokes are very dirty--fun!)

ALONG WITH SOME LEGENDARY OLDER COMICS, (MARILYN SOKOL HAS HER "PHONE" SKITS AT THE SMITHSONIAN IN DC), TWO YOUNGER ACTORS ADD A CONTEMPORARY ELEMENT.

THE CAST CONSISTS OF:  Audrey Lynn Weston, Marilyn Sokol, Lenny Wolpe, Todd Susman and Bill Army-all of them more than qualify for this type of  play.

The pacing is amazing, from gags, to straight-on jokes, songs and even autobiographical memories of how & why comedy came into their lives & the healing effect of it. I CONCUR!

It's about 90 minutes of fun.

I highly recommend it, but again if you can get it (and you can with GOLDSTAR & other discounted sites) for $60 or under.

Except for one usherette & the concession guy, the staff can use some manners--this was my only complaint; they made me "Meschugenah!"

Thanks Danny!

SCOTT VAN DUZER

"THE HUG MAN", SCOTT VAN DUZER--PIZZA SHOP OWNER FROM FLORIDA & ULTIMATE HUMANITARIAN.
President_gets_bear_hu419faed6-4b16-4e36-89d1-b1de2a1217580000_JPG


PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA STOPPED IN TO VISIT & COMMEND THIS MAGNIFICENT PERSON WITH HIS SMALL BUSINESS VENTURE WHICH DIRECTLY HELPS THE COMMUNITY & OTHERS BEYOND FLORIDA. AN AMERICAN WHO THINKS FIRST WITH HIS HEART & NOT HIS POCKET.

I MUST MENTION VAN DUZER IS A REPUBLICAN. THIS JUST SHOWS THAT WE CAN AGREE TO DISAGREE & BE THERE AS ONE WHEN GOOD & LOVE IS THE MESSAGE & THE ACTION.

SADLY, VAN DUZER HAS BEEN ATTACKED BY SOME OF HIS OWN REPUBLICAN PARTY FOR  BEING GRACIOUS WITH OBAMA. TO YOU CLOSE MINDED ASSHOLES,  OBAMA IS PRESIDENT TO "ALL" USA CITIZENS TODAY, LIKE IT OR NOT!

VAN DUZER'S EXTREME HUG -AND EVENTUAL LIFTING OF OBAMA- HAS GONE VIRAL. WE CAN STILL HAVE A FUN MOMENT WITHOUT MAKING IT SO BIPARTISAN & POLITICAL. BOTH MEN WERE JUST HAVING A BIT OF FUN & AN EXCHANGE FOR THE GREATER GOOD OF MANY.

STOP!!!! STOP THE IGNORANCE & HATE----SHAME ON YOU!!!!!!
VAN DUZER HAS HELPED WITH BREAST CANCER, HELPING PARENTS PAY FOR THEIR CHILDREN'S FUNERAL, BLOOD DRIVE (HE GOT A PROCLAMATION FOR "BE A HERO DAY" WHICH IS A DAY FOR THOSE NEARBY TO DONATE BLOOD (EVERY 2 SECONDS SOMEBODY NEEDS BLOOD).

 AND YOU DARE!!! TO JUDGE HIM ON A LOVING HUG!!!?

I AM A PROUD DEMOCRAT BUT THIS CROSSES PARTY LINES . LOVE KNOWS NO PARTY & HATE IS  REFLECTION ON YOU NOT THE ONE YOU'RE HATING. CHECK YOURSELF AT THE DOOR!

VAN DUZER APPEARED ON "ANDERSON" YESTERDAY & HUGGED THE UNCOMFORTABLE LOOKING ANDERSON COOPER--LOL--CUTE!

SUPPORT THOSE WHO LOVE, GIVE A SHIT & PUT THEIR MONEY WHERE THEIR MOUTH IS-REPUBLICAN OR DEMOCRAT...
