(BOUND BROOK, NJ) -- Comedian Mike Marino, who is affectionately known to millions of his fans worldwide as New Jersey’s Bad Boy takes the stage for an evening of hilarious comedy on Saturday, May 7, at the Brook Arts Center. The show begins at 8:00pm.

Marino has a tongue like a razor and a heart of gold. His stand-up material ranges from cutting-edge observations of everyday life to his Italian family roots, which recently spun into a T.V. pilot called “Re-Constructing Jersey”. His appearance on Byran Allen’s Comics Unleashed earned him over 7 million views (and counting), which led to his web series “Marino 2016” – an original comedy based on Mike’s Road to the White House and wise guy attempt to become the first Italian American President of the United States. 

Mike has shared the stage with some of the biggest names in the business and on May 7th, he will be joined on stage by Comedians - Senator Jon Bramnick and 101.5 hosts and Comedian Steve Trevelise.  After winning the Funniest Lawyer in New Jersey contest, Bramnick has performed all over the country. Bramnick has been named one of the most enduring political characters in the history of the Garden State.  

Tickets $30-35 at www.brookarts.org or 732-469-7700. Box office opens at 6:00pm for walk-up sales $35-40. Concessions, Bar, and Free Parking are available.
