He headlines across the country at The Comedy Store and The Dunes Hotel and Casino. Angel Salazar returns to The Cabaret Theatre, seeking another standing ovation.

Colin Kane featuring Stephanie Peters
with special guest Cipha Sounds
The Cabaret Theatre
Tickets On Sale: Friday, December 30, 2011 at 10:00am
Billed by Dennis Miller as "the next really big comedian" and described by fans as "acerbic and brilliant," Colin Kane nailed down the winning spot on Howard Stern's Kill or Be Killed and is a serial guest on the zenith of early morning radio, Opie and Anthony. Kane's talent and prolific vocation have allowed him the opportunity to work for everyone from the racially charged Paul Mooney to the deeply perceptive Jerry Seinfeld, playing on his ability to appeal to a diverse cross section of audiences.
Kane's unequaled defining factor is his knack for incorporating improv into his sets, maintaining a level of surprising originality in each performance. Rarely does a comedian come along that has the verbal agility to spin rapid fire wit and comebacks so smoothly. After a successful two year run at the world renowned Caroline's on Broadway, Kane has continued his meteoric rise in the comedy scene by playing to 7,000 fans at Madison Square Garden. With his sardonic banter and brazen observations, Kane has solidified his reputation as an entertainer who can not only fill seats, but enrapture the general masses and create a legion of unwavering followers.
Comedy Diva, Stephanie Peters, grew up in Cambridge, Massachusetts, idolizing local funnyman Lenny Clarke and his buddies Jay Leno, Denis Leary and Steven Wright, who honed their stand-up chops at the now-famous Ding Ho. Now, she's appearing on the same bill.
In just one year, Stephanie skyrocketed from playing tiny clubs in Boston's suburbs to strutting her own brand of bawdiness in Leary's "Comics Come Home" benefit, where she shared the limelight with Clarke, Wright and Jay Mohr.
Before moving on from Shade 45, Cipha Sounds started a podcast that became the weekend morning show on Hot 97 with Peter Rosenberg. The show was called The Cipha/Rosenberg Experience. The show's extremely high ratings for its time slot was unheard of so Hot 97 moved The Cipha/Rosenberg Experience to Monday-Friday, 5:00am to 7:00am and in August took the entire daypart from 5:00am to 10:00am.

The Cabaret Theatre
Tickets On Sale: Wednesday, February 8, 2012 at 10:00am
Rich Vos is an incredibly gifted comic who not only has sharp, insightful material, but he is also a master at working the crowd. His ability to perform in front of any audience has landed him television shows as varied as being the first white comic on Def Comedy Jam to performing on The View. Rich was the breakout star of NBC's Last Comic Standing seasons one and three, was a regular guest on Tough Crowd with Colin Quinn and wrote for Chris Rock when he hosted The Academy Awards in 2005. He also played Lenny Bruce on NBC's American Dreams and is a regular on The Opie and Anthony radio show. He has one of the highest rated half hour specials on Comedy Central.
Chris Clarke discovered his love for comedy while growing up in Bridgeport, CT. Young Chris grew up watching many of the popular shows of the 80s and 90s, such as In Living Color, Def Comedy Jam and Saturday Night Live. Chris saw the stars of these shows and knew that he wanted to follow in their footsteps and become a comedian. Chris grew up entertaining his siblings, his friends, and (much to the dismay of his teachers) his school mates with his constant stream of jokes, impersonations and dancing.
Eric Tartaglione is a fast rising, high-energy comic with a very physical, expressive, clean act. He has an extreme degree of likeability with a variety of audiences and is as comfortable with a college crowd as he is with a retirement party. He loves to poke fun at his Italian background, his shortcomings as well as the trials and tribulations of married life, being a dad and turning forty. A former medical professional, Eric loves to talk about everyday situations to which we can all relate. In addition, he is an actor with more than fifteen years experience on the New York and regional stage from which he draws a variety of voice impressions.

Richard Lewis featuring Michael Petit
with special guest Romont Harris
The Cabaret Theatre
Tickets On Sale: Wednesday, February 8, 2012 at 10:00am
Richard Lewis has taken his lifelong therapy fodder and carved it into a commanding and compelling art form. His early career as a stand-up brought him to the top of his ranks, and over time, he broadened the scope of opportunities so others could share in his brilliantly warped world. A NY Post article noted; "Richard Lewis built the strongest stand-up comedy career on a blazing trail of neuroses since Woody Allen." Lewis is 'jazzed' about going into an eighth season of Curb Your Enthusiasm and the series' pick-up into syndication via the TV Guide Network and Warner Brothers. He is constantly on his "The Tracks of My Fears Tour" and is also now developing his own darkly humorous ensemble comedy. Lewis completed filming VAMPS, a film directed by Amy Heckerling with Ben Stiller and Stuart Cornfeld producing.
As a national headlining entertainer, this TV Guy (Michael Petit) is loaded with a rapid fire delivery that leaves audiences laughing from start to finish by clicking from character to character. With a style that has been compared to Robin Williams and 20 years of performing, some great news has the original TV Guy character becoming a scripted television pilot, and is now being showcased to networks for possible development into a sitcom series. The premise has Michael Petit owning a TV repair shop on the beach called Channel Surfers, and showcases the same humor that Michael performs on stage during each show.
Comedian Romont Harris has been featured on BET's ComicView as well as The Apollo Comedy Hour. His talents have also been seen on Howard Stern On Demand.
