He found internet success when he recorded his “Comedy Central Stand up Featuring” which has garnered over 10 million views, he also made an appearance on the first season of “NBC’s Bring the Funny” and made his late-night debut on the Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon all in the same year. He was a regular player on ‘This week at the Comedy Cellar’ on Comedy Central with his second Comedy Central set hitting the 10 million views mark yet again. He's been featured in The New Yorker Magazine and was named a “2021 JFL NEW FACES" of comedy. On February 10th, 2022 he debuted his Comedy Central half-hour special titled “Growing Shame.” Shortly after, he debuted his first standalone HBO Special titled “Ian Lara: Romantic Comedy” now streaming on MAX.

As a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania and (“moral") bankruptcy lawyer, it was unlikely that Talia Reese's comedy career would start off in bar basements and midnight open mics, but that's where her soul was redeemed. Her set is high-energy, quick paced and autobiographical. The New York Post featured a nearly full-page article about her life and comedy entitled, "Orthodox Jewish comic finds balance between raunch and religion," and called her a "Hot Ticket.” Talia has opened for Caroline Rhea and Nick DiPaolo. Her affable stage presence and sharp wit have also garnered her appearances on Sirius XM Radio, The Wendy Williams Show and Spike TV. Newsday Long Island has also taken notice, calling her a "rising star.” Talia works regularly at The World Famous Comic Strip, Rodney’s and Stand Up NY in New York City, The Borgata Hotel and Casino in Atlantic City, NJ and Mohegan Sun in Wilkes-Barre, PA.

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.
