Rich Francese: Funny how? Rich will show you how funny. A Regular at the prestigious Gotham Comedy Club in NYC, and the world famous Comedy Cellar in NYC, Rich is legendary for his intelligent and well-crafted material and improvisational genius on stage, he’s a killer! Rich also was a writer for Saturday Night Live coupled with an occasional sketch appearance. He also starred in The Italian American comedy touring stand up and sketch show “What Are You Looking At?” which was presented by many of the best theaters on the East Coast. He was also selected to perform at the prestigious Montreal Comedy Festival.
Regina DeCicco is the warm up comedian for “The View.” and recently appeared on The Sherri Shepard Show where she wowed the crowd with her funny stories and endearing personality. ABC news hired Regina to do the warm up for both Joe Biden’s and Donald Trump’s Town Halls, and for the past three years Regina has warmed up the audience for NBC’s Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree Lighting Show. If that isn’t enough, Regina has also been a guest contributor to The Howard Stern Show and is a favorite at the legendary Comedy Cellar in NYC.
Joseph Anthony is undeniably unique. A national headliner know for being a “powerhouse act,” and a true raconteur. His obvious New York Accent and Italian American background tell you where he’s from, but there is more to Joseph Anthony. Joseph is a true everyman who takes his true to life stories and turns his hardships and those of everyday people and spins a web of brilliantly hysterical humor that will get you laughing throughout the night and identifying as well! Joseph has been called a master craftsman of his art form. Joseph just filmed his very first comedy special and it will be coming out soon. Word is that it will be well worth the wait!
Eric Tartaglione: A dynamo on stage, Eric’s high energy and high likability translates into rapid fire laughs. A national headliner, Eric is known for poking fun at his Italian upbringing and his shortcomings dealing with everyday life. A multi-talented artist, Eric co-wrote and co-starred in the award winning Italian American themed play, “Shut up, Sit Down, and Eat! Eric recently taped his first special and it has received stellar reviews.
The Newton Theatre was founded in 1924. It is a beautifully restored 605 seat performing arts center in the heart of Sussex County, presenting diverse programming, including world-renowned music acts, comedians, family productions, holiday shows and much more.
