(CARTERET, NJ) -- Carteret Performing Arts & Events Center presents comedian Bill Bellamy on Friday, February 27, 2026 at 7:30pm. Special Guests include Timmy Hall (HBO, BET, Improv and Laugh Factory); GL Douglas (VH-1, BET, creator of Class Dismissed) and Hosted by Big Momma (Apollo, Stress Factory).
Using his experiences growing up in Newark, Bill Bellamy started doing stand-up while he was a student at Rutgers University. Bellamy quickly discovered how much he enjoyed making people laugh and began honing his skills at small comedy clubs around the country and was soon making waves in the New York clubs like The Improv, The Comic Strip, and at The Comedy Store in Los Angeles.
In less than two years of launching his stand-up career, Bellamy earned a spot on HBO’s DEF COMEDY JAM where he notoriously coined the phrase “Booty Call.” The now famous late-night rendez-vous moniker became the name for his first comedy special for Showtime; “Booty Call” and it was instantly one of the network’s top-rated specials.
Tickets start at $32.50 and are available for purchase online. Carteret Performing Arts & Events Center is located at 46 Washington Avenue in Carteret, New Jersey.
