Brook Arts Center Presents Standup Comedy On September 24th

originally published: 09/16/2021


(BOUND BROOK, NJ) -- Brook Arts Center presents a standup comedy night on Friday, September 24 at 8:30pm. The lineup includes Adam Oliensis, Kyle Ocasio, and John Moses. Tickets range from $20-$25.

John Moses has been delightfully offending audiences throughout the United States, Canada and the U.K. for more than 15 years. In 2017 John was a finalist at the Laughing Skull Comedy Festival in Atlanta and is a favorite at festivals all over including; The Boston Comedy Festival; The Asheville Comedy Festival; The Cottage Country Comedy Festival; and the Dark Comedy Festival in Toronto where he roasted Porn Legend Ron Jeremy.  He released his second album Upper Middle Trash in May of 2016. Raw Dog on SiriusXM named that album one of the best albums of 2016. An equal-opportunity offender, John’s comedy transcends racial and cultural barriers—appealing to black, white, and brown audiences, the young and old, upstanding citizens and the morally bankrupt. John’s style is shrewd, raw and uncompromisingly funny.

Comedian Kyle Ocasio has been performing stand up all over the country for well over a decade. She brought laughter to the US troops in eight different countries while performing with Armed Forces Entertainment. She has led comedy tours in Europe and The Middle East.  In 2014, She was featured on AXS TV's Gotham Comedy Live and regularly appeared on several TV shows including the popular Fox News satirical political comedy show Red Eye. Before heading to the Edinburgh Fringe festival where she debuted her stand up for an international audience, she was the face of Optimum TV's Soccer Mom Goals, a show with a comedic twist on "momentating" on the 2018 World Cup. Rooftop Comedy released her debut album "Tell Mommy Your Name Again" which is in regular rotation on Sirius XM and in 2018 she recorded her second album with Rooftop, this time a collaborative piece entitled "Three's Comedy" with two other comedians. It was number two comedy album of the summer, just behind Jim Gaffigan. She is a regular guest on many Sirius XM shows including John Fugelsang's Tell me Everything as well as The Tom Shillue Show on Fox News Radio and the podcast Keith and The Girl. 

Adam Oliensis explores the lessons in humility he’s learning from his wife and especially from his children. Adam is attuned to the absurdities that arise in the everyday, mining both the ironies and silliness that exist in the most humbling situations (with which he continues to gain vast experience). Adam co-authored and starred in the movie, The Pompatus of Love, with Actor Jon Cryer. Adam appears in comedy clubs, casinos, and theater and is a regular at Gotham Comedy Club. He was guest on Comedy Central's The Daily Show with Trevor Noah. His album, Aged Whine, can be heard on Sirius XM Radio 99, Raw Dog Comedy. He is headlining the Aged Whine Comedy Tour throughout the Northeast. And he has recently opened for such comedy legends and luminaries as Robert Klein, Colin Quinn, Gilbert Gottfried, and Larry Miller.

Tickets range from $20-$25 and are available for purchase online. The Brook Arts Center is located at 10 Hamilton Street in Bound Brook, New Jersey.
