EDDIE CLARK
Also featuring Brian Cichoki and John Clark
Eddie Clark is one of our favorite comics! His ability to read his audience combined with his quick wit, funny stories and masterful characters, make him a hit with audiences all over. This former Mount Vernon N.Y. police officer's humor is a blend of personal experiences and everyday life. His act is best described as "Adult, but not dirty." Eddie has appeared on Law & Order S.V.U. ,Country Music Television-where did two more specials for the network in 2005, ESPN 2's "Cold Pizza", as well as several commercials & promos (including Major League Baseball, Comcast Cable, National Geographic Channel, and Red Lobster). Eddie is a uniquely funny guy, and this is your chance to see him live and in person at the Comedy Cove!

VANESSA HOLLINGSHEAD
Also featuring Tom D'Darrio and Brian McGuiness
Not many comics have the role models Vanessa Hollingshead has had. She was raised in England by a father who introduced Timothy Leary, and later, Paul McCartney of the Beatles to LSD; and then returned to NYC and the care of her mother (who was trying to juggle finding good pot in bad neighborhoods, with her responsibilities as a mom). Throw in two years on a commune by herself, two years back in London with her dad, a decade of temp work…and a uniquely talented comedian was born. Vanessa’s material is hard-hitting, honest and most of all brilliantly funny, which explains why she is one of NYC’s hottest comics!
Vanessa just did The World Comedy Tour in Australia as well as her own Comedy Central Presents special. She was also featured on Tough Crowd with Colin Quinn, Dateline, and Oxygen. She has appeared at The Montreal Comedy Festival 5 times and has performed on the “The Jim Bruer Show”, Comedy Central’s Premium Blend and NBC’s “Louie Anderson Comedy Showcase.” In 1999 Vanessa was invited to perform her one woman show “Flashback” at the Aspen Comedy Arts Festival. She has completed her first screen play, which is now in development. Recently Vanessa toured approximately 30 military bases in the Middle East for a month, entertaining the troops with her bold brand of comedy. She’s a national headliner who can be seen all over the United States as well as Europe.

Smart, sexy, savvy, and funny, Leighann Lord's heads up humor is stand-up comedy at it’s finest.
