Stand Up Comedy at the Brook Arts Center starts in July

Laughter begins at the Brook Arts Center starting July 16, as we launch our Stand Up Comedy Nights. Join us in welcoming four hilarious comedians, John Moses, Kyle Ocasio, Adam Oliensis and Joe Matarese to our July line up.

Kyle Ocasio has been dubbed “the reluctant wife and mother” by her comedic peers. Through her comedy, she expresses the frustration and confusion of everyday life that helps her connect with any audience. She enjoys creating characters most notably the Psycho flight attendant from hell as well as characters inspired by her and Latino and Midwest family members. John Moses' comedy is on the edge, and the edge is right between evil genius and uncontrollable laughter. He has been delightfully offending audiences for more than 15 years. As you might imagine, John's comedy is not for the faint of heart. You either love him or ... He is intelligent; he is controversial; he is off the wall funny! Adam Oliensis is attuned to the absurdities that arise in daily life, exploring both the irony and silliness that exist in the most humiliating situations. He is headlining the Aged Whine Comedy Tour throughout the Northeast. Adam opened for comic legends, and luminaries like Robert Klein, Colin Quinn, Gilbert Gottfried and Larry Miller. Adam co-authored and starred in the movie, The Pompatus of Love, with Actor Jon Cryer.

On Friday, July 23, at 8 pm, Comedian Joe Matarese presents his humorous tour - "Remember When" a nostalgic comedy about the 80s and 90s taking you back to a time before computers and cell phones existed and going clubbing seven nights a week seemed important! Widely known for his performance on 'Americas Got Talent', Joe also had his very own Comedy Central Presents 1/2 hour special and has recorded 7 standup albums that are currently in rotation on SiriusXM including Quiet pleasing, Fixing Joe, Disconnected, When A Comedian Attacks, Medicated, The Poster’s Wrong, and Completely Present. Do not miss all these hilarious live shows at the Brook Arts Centre! Tickets are available www.brookarts.org or by phone at 732-469-7700.
