NJPAC Presents Janeane Garofalo

(NEWARK, NJ) -- New Jersey Performing Arts Center (NJPAC) presents Janeane Garofalo on Saturday, May 16, 2020 at 8:00pm.  The comedian, actress and activist burst onto the comedy scene in 1992, quickly establishing herself as the outspoken voice of Generation X. Tickets are $45.

Garofalo was born in Newton, New Jersey and moved to Houston when her family relocated while she was in high school. Reportedly the trauma of the move prompted her famously insecure, self-loathing persona to begin blossoming in full. Janeane is probably most known for her memorable and critically acclaimed roles in "The Truth About Cats and Dogs," "Steal This Movie," "Copland," and "Reality Bites," as well as for her specific brand of sharp wit and comedy shown in her roles in "Romy and Michelle's High School Reunion," "Bye Bye Love," "Mystery Men," "Clay Pigeons," "The Minus Man," and "The Cable Guy," directed by her friend Ben Stiller. Ben and Janeane also co-authored the best seller Feel This Book (Ballantine May 1999). Janeane was also a cast member of the Emmy Award-winning "Ben Stiller Show."

Janeane played the role of Paula, the acerbic talent booker, on "The Larry Sander's Show," for which she received an Emmy nomination in 1997 and two Cable Ace nominations. During the fall of '94 she joined the cast of "Saturday Night Live." Some of Janeane's other television work includes two specials for HBO and the series finale of "Mad About You."

A lightning rod for controversy, Janeane’s unflinching stand-up inspires laughter with audiences on the left, right and in between.

NJPAC is located at One Center Street in Newark, New Jersey.
