Jen Perney Presents: "Wet Dreams Do Come True"



Saturday, March 13, 2010

8:00pm - 11:00pm

Waltz Astoria

23-14 Ditmars Boulevard

:
Astoria, N.Y.


Very excited to be hosting this one night event, featuring some of the best of the best in up and coming NYC standup comedy.

Featuring: Tim Warner
Jaqi Furback
Mike Recine
Calvin S. Cato

Hosted: By Your's Truly :)

Waltz Astoria is a family run/family owned venue where I first got my start in standup comedy almost 1 year ago. Since then the owners and I have begun what I know will be a long standing friendship. They have offered me the opportunity to host, but better than that-BOOK a night of comedy.

Thus the title "Wet Dreams Do Come True", for I am thrilled to showcase these hysterical comics, and better yet have them all perform on the same bill.

Come on out and laugh your ass off. Waltz Astoria has a $10 min. for food/drink- NO COVER. However feel free to tip these fantastic artists as I pass around the hat. See you there!!

Beezy Douglas Carnivale-Saturday 2/20 @ 8:30pm


So excited to announce the second Beezy Douglas Carnivale!!

Mr. Beezy Douglas has organized one hell of an idea and has nurtured it into what is now to be an amazing monthly showcase of talent from all over NYC. I have actually been lucky enough to be named "House Comic", meaning I shall always be honored with doing a 15 min. slot at the shows.

February's show looks to be even more exciting than the first. The lineup is fantastic and the visual arts this time around shall be a new focus. We have Eric Clarke painting some fantastic mural/panels ala Carnivale/Circus style and some other visuals being done by fine artist, Jackie Neon. At the rate things have been progressing, It is safe to say that these Carnivale shows should be transpiring into a sorta Warhol-esq factory of sorts. A true Carnivale with sights, sounds & art that will dazzle the eye & tickle the mind.

Join Us Saturday Feb. 20th, 2010- starting @ 8:30pm.

***The very talented artist Eric Clarke will be unveiling some of the new Carnivale commissioned murals that he has been pounding out as well as doing some portraits for hire during the show. So come see/listen to the show and give some dough to an amazing talent for a one of a kind portrait to take with ya. Lets support our local artists!!***

There will be some food and spirits at the start of the show but supplies are bound to run out quickly, so BYOB bitches!

From the L:

Get off at Morgan and exit at Bogart St. Turn right onto Bogart and walk to Flushing. Cross Flushing and turn left, the next street on your right is Forrest, turn right and go up to the big red door.

From the JMZ:

Get off at Flushing and walk east on Flushing past Bushwick and Central until you get to Forrest St. and turn right and go up to the big red door.

There's no buzzer, but I'll have a list of people's numbers you can call who will be manning the door all night. Just think of it as a security measure to keep out the hooliganery.
