Salami's East Coast Comedy: Living Legends of Laughter: Featuring Anita Wise

Thursday, September 23, 2021 @ 7:00pm



Hopewell Theater
5 S. Greenwood Avenue, Hopewell, NJ 08525

THIS EVENT HAS PASSED

Due to unforeseen circumstances, we have cancelled tonight's comedy event out of an abundance of caution for health and safety.

ANITA WISE is is an American stand up comedian and actor who has made numerous television appearances, including the Tonight Show with both Johnny Carson and Jay Leno, Seinfeld episodes and cable shows including “An Evening At The Improv” and “Caroline’s Comedy Hour”. She has also been featured at the Just For Laughs Festival in Montreal, performing comedy in both English and French. Her humor is uniquely funny, person and down to Earth. And she likes cake. Anita was also voted "Showtime's Funniest Person in America" in 1986. (Side note Ellen DeGeneres won this award 1982.)

GARY DELENA is a triple threat showman. A singing impressionist, an accomplished musician, and a comedian. His show mixes musical parodies, good natured clowning and the ability to befriend the room by simply chatting. With all the hostile comedy making the rounds, DeLena is a wonderful refuge. Fun for fun’s sake. Gary was a former resident of Hopewell NJ when he went to school at Rider College, so this is a Homecoming for Gary.

As seen on A&E, NBC, and top clubs across America, MIKE EAGAN is one of the most influential and sought-after headliners in the country. Mike is also an accomplished voice over artist, broadcast teacher, grandfather, and semi-pro miniature golf player. See why Chris Rock and hundreds of other comedians claim that Mike Eagan was one of the biggest influences on their careers!
