Comedy Night: Jim David and Dave Goldstein

Saturday December 17, 2016 @ 8:00 PM

Relatives in town for the holidays? Looking for something to do with them that won't end in a fight about politics?! Look no further than 41 Bridge Street! In honor of the holidays, we're hosting a special SATURDAY NIGHT COMEDY SHOW featuring JIM DAVID and DAVE GOLDSTEIN! Saturday, December 17th at 8 pm.

Jim David's comedy, a free-form conversational style featuring characters, stories, one-liners and social comment, has been seen at many venues worldwide, including Montreal's Just For Laughs Festival, HBO's US Comedy Arts Festival in Aspen, Colorado, and the TBS Comedy Festival in Las Vegas. He was featured as one of the stars of Laughing Liberally, a political comedy show that made its debut at New York's Town Hall in 2006 and played numerous engagements Off-Broadway and around the country. His one-man comedy for the theater, "South Pathetic", in which he plays himself and 10 characters, details the worst community theater in the South in a production of Tennessee Williams' A Streetcar Named Desire. It was performed at the Williamstown Theatre Festival in Williamstown, Massachusetts, as well in New York and other regional theaters, including the Provincetown Tennessee Williams Festival and San Francisco's New Conservatory Theatre, where it received rave reviews and was a popular success. It was performed at the New York International Fringe Festival in Manhattan, where it sold out its entire run and was favorably reviewed by The New York Times and other media. In 2012 David released his first novel, "You'll Be Swell" (Trumbull Press), a comic novel about a struggling actress, available on Amazon, iTunes, and Barnes and Noble.

You may recognize comedian and actor Dave Goldstein from one of his many appearances on NBC’s Late Night with Conan O’Brien, including a particularly memorable role as a naked cop directing traffic in front of the Metropolitan Museum of Art on 5th Avenue in New York City. His stage act, which has been praised by The New York Post (“…funny”) and The Asbury Park Press (“…his comic star is on the rise!”), is a blend of original writing and inspired live riffs. He has performed stand up comedy on The Comedy Network, Sirius/XM Satellite Radio, and The National Lampoon Radio Network. Dave is honored to perform for our troops and was the headlining comic on a tour of U.S. Army posts in Europe. He was also the comedy auctioneer for The Nelson Mandela Legacy Fund at the Embassy of the Republic of South Africa in Washington DC and The Carlos Beltran Foundation in New York ($50,000 for Derek Jeter’s cleats). Dave has opened theater performances for Dennis Miller, handled the audience warm up for Drew Carey’s CBS TV show The Power of Ten, been read on the Sports Illustrated website, and was an original member of the improv group Far Beneath Gotham in New York City.
