May 17, 2013 - 12:02:28 PM
Freeport, Bahamas -
The Grand Bahama Performing Arts Society (GBPAS) presents its 5th Annual
Comedy Show on 2 nights, Friday May 17 and Saturday May 18, 2013 at
Treasure Bay Casino at 8 p.m.
Appearing in Grand Bahama for the first time are stand-up powerhouses
from New York City, Jim Mendrinos and Leighann Lord. Mendrinos is a
well-known comedian and writer described as the common man with
hysterically funny, uncommon observations of life and people. He is the
author of “The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Comedy Writing” (Alpha Press,
2004) and performs regularly in NYC, at Caesar’s and aboard cruise
ships.
Leighann Lord was described by Stage Time magazine as “one of the
funniest female comics you’ve probably never heard of – a triple comic
threat of beauty, style and razor-sharp wit who delivers an uproarious
performance every time.”
Returning to Grand Bahama is Canadian improv king, Bruce Hunter. Bruce
had the audience practically rolling in the aisles at the 2012 Comedy
Show. Bruce joined The Second City in 1981 and is currently a member of
the internationally renowned comedy troupe, Illustrated Men. He has
performed and taught Improvisation for almost 30 years and will be
conducting an Improv Workshop on Wednesday May 15 at the Regency Theatre
starting at 7 p.m. The cost of the Workshop is $10 and can be paid at
the door.
Tickets for the Comedy Show are $35 and are available at Seventeen Shop and at the door.
This Comedy Show has been made possible through the generous support of
all GBPAS members and sponsors, with special thanks to: Treasure Bay
Casino, Sunny Isles, TheBahamasWeekly.com, Keen i Media Ltd. and Mackey
Media. Don’t miss this fantastic opportunity to support your local arts
community and laugh until it hurts! All proceeds go directly to
funding scholarships and other support for Grand Bahamas students of the
performing arts.
