Carpool Comedy Event Raises Funds for ACME

LAMBERTVILLE, NJ — Joey Novick and Comedyworks Entertainment will host a Carpool Comedy Fundraiser on Saturday, June 26 at 7 p.m. to raise money for the ACME Screening Room. “A nonprofit weekend theater that presents classic, independent, and documentary films to educate and inspire,” now closed for more than a year due to COVID-19, the ACME projects to reopen its indoor space — a former Lambertville supermarket — in September of this year.

The Carpool Comedy Fundraiser promises a lively night including comedy, a 50/50 raffle, and live music. Prizes will be offered for the best tailgate setup — including best tailgate cuisine provided by the Rosemont Supper Club, and best table design provided by Arlen Sam Brown: Interiors + Collections. Picnic fare for the evening can be brought from home or purchased from one of the several nearby restaurants.

Tickets will be $35/person online until Sunday, June 20; tickets purchased in the week prior to the show will be $40. The outdoor venue lot, provided by MSMJ Associates and the tenants of the Spoke Works Building, is located at 204 N. Union St. and will open at 6:15 p.m.

Performers include Angela Sharp, Tom Mongelli, Lana Epstein, Taj Howard and Kurt Zimmerman. More information on the night of comedy and the ACME screening room is available on the ACME's website.
