The Laugh Pack – Home for the Holidays!
The Laugh Pack – Home for the Holidays!
Mark Riccadonna (SNL, Drybar) and the human jukebox Justin Gonzalez (Carnegie Hall, the Comedy Cellar) are excited to bring the Laugh Pack back to the Broad Brook Opera House! This year they will be bringing a new friend to the party: Comedy Hypnotist Bob Lauver!
Mark Riccadonna pursued Theatre at The American Academy of Dramatic Arts and, soon after, stumbled upon Stand-Up Comedy. He is a gifted storyteller with a charisma that makes you feel like you’ve known him forever, a unique delivery, a signature voice, and likability; you will see why he is a favorite at clubs and theatres everywhere. Mark also performs for Armed Forces Entertainment and has entertained U.S. and U.N. Troops worldwide. Recently, he filmed a Comedy Special for Dry Bar and The Beaz Hive on Amazon and was a contributing writer for Saturday Night Live’s “Weekend Update.”
Justin Gonzalez performs a diverse repertoire of music spanning Jazz, the American Songbook, the music of Freddie Mercury and Queen, Broadway, and favorites from the classical and operatic stage. Justin has performed with some of the best classical and popular music acts in venues such as Carnegie Hall, Madison Square Garden, and the Cathedral Notre Dame in Paris.
As a comedian and storyteller, he has entertained audiences at clubs such as the Comic Strip Live, Candlelight Comedy Club, and the Comedy Cellar in NYC. Justin has also performed in the NYC Comedy Festival and most recently as part of the opening weekend of the Good Karma Mid-Atlantic Regional Comedy Festival.
And Comedy Hypnotist Bob Lauver! What happens when you combine a professional touring comic with a stage hypnotist? You get an unforgettable night of laughter and amazement! While stand up comedy was always the passion, Bob became intrigued with Hypnosis after opening for a stage hypnotist show. The rest was history. He has built a Comedy Hypnosis show that will leave your sides hurting from laughter and your mind blown from seeing what your friends can do under hypnosis!
The Laugh Pack is a show you will come and see again and again so don’t miss it!
Doors 6:00pm
Show 8:00pm
This is not an all ages show!
