COMEDY NIGHT !, THIRD TIME AROUND !!!

at The Rumor Mill’s OPEN MIC/Performance Night

Thursday, July 22, 2010 from 7:30-10:00 pm

COMEDY NIGHT !, THIRD TIME AROUND brings together a new group of five talented stand-up comedians with actress/comedienne/writer—and host—Sardia Marley. This new group of comics is every bit as disturbed as the last bunch and the public should take notice that they are funny (don’t come if you don’t like to laugh!). Individuals should only expose themselves to this group if they have been inoculated with a sense of humor because they are, to a man or woman, astonishingly amusing, deliriously deranged, and entirely without restraint. Uncaged. Demented. Get the idea?! Having thus fairly warned you, it should be noted that this group includes celebrity comedians in the persons of Stogie Kenyatta and Hank Garrett, both of whom tour widely on the professional and college comedy circuits—and are wanted in many states. There may be a reward available, and you will certainly be rewarded in coming to this show! Comedy cohorts of this nefarious pair, also appearing Thursday, July 22, 2010 at the Rumor Mill, include Rebecca O’Brian, Aldo Guiliano, and Shari Vasseghi, also known to be armed with barbs, zingers, trenchant observations, and the ability to puncture the pompous. All are dangerously funny.

Stogie Kenyatta has an extensive acting resume with more than twenty-five TV and film credits including guest starring appearances on JAG, FBI, E.R. MaddTV, Jake & The Fatman, The Bold and the Beautiful, Batman & Robin, and Species, to name a few. He is the writer and performer of the acclaimed one-man show “The World is my Home – The Life & Times of Paul Robeson,” and has performed over 100 shows on the college circuit.

Hank Garrett, among many other career accomplishments, was Patrolman Ed Nicholson on sixty episodes of Car 54, Where Are You? and he won the New York Film Critics’ Award for his role as the infamous killer postman in the feature film “Three Days of the Condor.”

Shari Vasseghi (a.ka. “Corky”—her criminal alias) describes herself as “very spiritual” and as an “uplifter” who likes to make people laugh. She would like to meet someone “who’s very confident, independent, happy on his own” and “who’s not afraid to love.” Keep an eye on her: it’s always the quiet ones you’ve got to watch.

Aldo Guiliano, is the kind of beachcomber who finds women instead of shells along the seashore. He has appeared on The Tonight Show, Jay Leno, and The David Letterman Show; is a veteran of the Witness Protection comedy shows, and has appeared with the legendary Garrett Morris in a benefit for Habitat for Humanity. He shares an interest in weightlifting with Hank Garrett, and as he was a star wrestler back in the day, has offered to wrestle Hank at this show.

Rebecca O’Brien has been on ER, Kath & Kim, Jimmy Kimmel Live, NYPD Blue, Big Love, and you can look for her in an upcoming episode of ABC Family’s HUGE! She runs her own Comedy Show every Friday night at Rebecca O’Brien’s Stage at Elderberries on Sunset and Curson.
