The Laugh Pack: Twas the LAUGH before Christmas!
The Laugh Pack is the perfect gift this holiday season!
Get ready to laugh all night with this TRIPLE HEADLINER SHOW! This evening of comedy will be peppered with Magic and Music to make this a performance you won’t soon forget. Let comedian Mark Riccadonna (SNL) guide you through the evening with his friends Justin “the human jukebox” Gonzalez (Carnegie Hall) and ventriloquist John “Gemini” Lombardi!
Mark Riccadonna is a professional comedian who has toured globally, playing theatres and clubs. While touring, Mark found time to thrive as an on-air host for talk radio out of NJ, performing in an Off Broadway hit, “Happy in the Poor House.” Recently Mark landed the role of “Cooler “in The new Pilot Un$uited with Dan Lauria, “The Devils Tree,” “The Days of Power,” and “Game Night.” Mark worked as a voice-over actor, directed the play “The Boom,” a pilot he co-wrote called “Radio Gods,” Theatre 68’s” Saint it Isn’t So” and “Through Open Doors,” and was a contributing writer for SNL’s “Weekend Update.” Because of his attitude, he is considered fun and easy to work with, making Mark a gifted storyteller with a charisma that makes you feel like you’ve known him forever.
Justin Gonzalez (tenor) knew from a very young age that music was something very special in his life. 20 years since his first European tour, Justin Gonzalez is still a sought after classical music soloist, performing in venues like Carnegie Hall, Madison Square Garden, and the Cathedral Notre Dame in Paris. He is also a storyteller and practitioner of the American Song Book and the music of Broadway. Justin uses all of this to entertain, educate, and share his story. When Justin isn’t singing with the world’s best classical musicians, popular music performers, and writing his own music to perform with the Justin Gonzalez Trio, he is the lead singer of 33 1/3 LIVE’s Killer Queen Experience.
This show will feature ventriloquist John “Gemini” Lombardi!
John “Gemini” Lombardi, comedian, accomplished ventriloquist, award-winning magician and
Voted ”#1 Family Act” in the Catskills, was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York. With his quick sense of humor and witty personality, Gemini decided to start performing at the young age of eleven.
John’s ambitions led him on a successful climb to the top where he began to study acting, dance, and choreography to enhance his stage presence and comedic talent.
Today, Gemini has performed on Fox5, NBC, Showtime, and at hundreds of comedy clubs, casinos, resorts, and theaters across the country! Gemini is now a top headliner at The Borgata Casino, The Parx Casino and Caroline’s on Broadway!
