RODNEY LANEY
Rodney Laney's good looks, charm and hilarious brand of comedy have made him one of NYC's brightest rising stars! Now he's back at The Comedy Cove by popular demand!
Laney's comedy career started capriciously while in the Air Force. Stationed at Wright Patterson Air Force Base in Dayton Ohio, he accompanied a fellow airman, an amateur comic, to a comedy club. His friend bombed, but Rod took the stage and received thunderous applause. It was instant addiction; for Rodney it was the stage, for his friend it was crack cocaine.
For the next decade, he performed at open mikes, private parties, and wherever he got the chance. His professional career began in 1997. He commenced performing in clubs and colleges from New York to California. He was featured at Chris Tucker's Comedy Club in Atlanta, during the Urban Comedy Festival "Laffapalooza" and Judy Carter's comedy showcase in Big Bear California. He now tours nationally, and appears regularly in NYC, at the Gotham Comedy Club, Caroline's and Dangerfield's.
Most recently, Rodney has completed pilots for Comedy Central, MTV, A&E and has been seen on P.Diddy's "Bad Boys of Comedy" on HBO, Fox News Channel's "Red Eye," "The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson," CBS, Comedy Central's "Premium Blend," and in London on the BBC's "The World Stand's Up." He has also appeared at the prestigious Just for Laughs Comedy Festival in Montreal.

THE LEGENDARY WID is one of the funniest people to ever come from New Jersey. Since his humble beginnings in Cranford, NJ THE LEGENDARY WID has become the undisputed Prince of Props and Puns! From his sold out shows at New York's The Bottom Line and Rascals in New Jersey, to his frequent TV appearances, THE LEGENDARY WID has always been an audience favorite. WID uses props and puns to hilarious effect (his act is reminiscent of a 4 year old exploring a toy box and a kitchen cabinet at the same time). No two shows are ever the same! WID has hosted TV shows such as VH-1's 'Top 20 Countdown, and appeared on 'Stand-Up Spotlight'. He has appeared on Make Me Laugh on Comedy Central and Comedy On The Road and Caroline's Comedy Hour on A & E, The ABC Comedy Club Special and 30 Seconds To Fame, on FOX. WID also appears on the best selling DVD ..Laughing Out Loud - America's Funniest Comedians (along with Adam Sandler, Jerry Seinfeld, Ellen Degeneres, Jeff Foxworthy, Ray Romano, Drew Carey and Jay Leno). He is also the subject of an award-winning documentary film entitled "WID" by Jason Ferraro and Brian Galla. It promises to be an unforgettable night of good old-fashioned FUN, so don't miss THE LEGENDARY WID at The Comedy Cove!

BUDDY FITZPATRICK
also featuring Robin Fox and Mike Warsaw
A native of Philadelphia, Buddy Fitzpatrick is currently a New York City club favorite. His act combines the skill of a great monologist with a physical style that brings his observations to life. At the age of 18, he left Philadelphia and enrolled in the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in New York City and has never looked back. He went on tour with several theater companies starring in plays ranging from Shakespeare to Neil Simon. His comedy timing was always a bright spot in any production and with a little prodding he took the next step to the comedy club stage. Soon after, Buddy was a regular at all the prominent showcase clubs in New York City honing his craft night after night. His act is made up of inventive material delivered in a self-assured style. Buddy's stand-up made him a regular on Comedy Central with appearances on ABC and A&E. Buddy can be seen in the Damon Wayans' film "Harlem Aria" and in "The Business of Strangers" starring Julia Stiles and Stockard Channing. His television credits include HBO's "Sopranos." Buddy has written, produced and performed his biographical play "Sides" at various NYC theatres.
