Speech Therapy

Saturday, October 23, 2021 at 8:00 PM at Hawaii Theatre

Drew Lynch is an American stand-up comedian, actor, YouTube Star, and social media influencer. He gained fame after appearing in the 10th season of ‘America's Got Talent’. He aspired to become an actor as a child; however, life had other plans for him. At the age of 20, Lynch suffered an injury while playing softball. As a result, he developed a stutter. Undaunted, and with the support of his friends, he started to pursue a career as a stand-up comedian. He wanted to show the world that any situation can be transformed into something positive. When he made his first appearance on the stage of ‘America's Got Talent’, his story and act convinced Howie Mandel, one of the show’s judges, to press the Golden Buzzer. He eventually was eliminated in the finals, losing to the season winner, ventriloquist Paul Zerdin. Following his success on the show, Lynch’s YouTube channel gained traction. Also featuring his service dog Stella, the channel has gained over 1.6 million subscribers and more than 100 million views to date.

He had a regular feature for two seasons on “Inside the NFL”, for which he earned a Sports Emmy.  He has filmed two feature length concert films and has appeared on “Larry King Live,” and late night shows hosted by Piers Morgan, Jimmy Fallon, David Letterman, Conan O’ Brian and Craig Ferguson. Black has written three best-selling books and more than 40 plays., many of which have been produced around the country, including at the Williamstown Theatre Festival. 

Black has appeared in films, co-starring with Robin Williams in Barry Levinson’s “Man of the Year” (Universal Pictures), as well as roles Steve Pink’s “Accepted”, and Paul Feig’s “Unaccompanied Minors.” In 2015, Black notably voiced the character “Anger” in the Academy Award winning film from Pixar, “Inside Out.” 

Black is a strong supporter of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation and Autism Speaks and was honored by The Brady Center for his commitment to ending gun violence.

Manhattan Comedy Night

Saturday, October 6, 2018 at 8PM at Landmark on Main Street in Port Washington, NY

A night of NYC's favorite standup comics, produced and hosted by veteran comedian Sandy Marks.

SCHEDULED TO APPEAR*

Sherry Davey is a professional comedian, writer and actress, and a single mother of two daughters aged 20 and 14, an unending source of new material. Recently featured on NickMom's NICKMOM NIGHT OUT and NICKMOM ON, she appears regularly in NYC at Gotham Comedy Club; Broadway Comedy Club; The Comic Strip; and Stand Up New York.

Corey Kahaney is probably best known as a grand finalist on NBC's Last Comic Standing, where Jay Mohr called her set "flawless." She recently appeared The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, was a hit on the 2016 season of America's Got Talent and has performed a record 7 times on The Late, Late Show with Craig Ferguson. Cory is also a regular on The View, Fox & Friends and The Moms. And even though she's had specials on Comedy Central and HBO, her parents still wish she married a doctor!

Sandy Marks has a knack for spinning facts and stats into fast-paced, stream-of-consciousness-style humor that doesn't just inspire ebullient mirth but also hits home some rather startling truths about humanity. This serially self-deprecating Rolling Stone-approved comedian describes himself as "vapid, soulless, empty, and paranoid." And those are just his good qualities.

Dan Naturman 's charming combination of self-deprecation and outright grouchiness has had audiences howling from coast to coast, as well as landing him on NBC's Last Comic Standing and the late night shows. He began performing stand-up comedy in law school. After graduation he decided to devote himself to stand-up full time. Comedy, he discovered, was his true passion. Besides, his grades were bad and nobody would hire him.

Doors open at 7:15. Come early and visit our Piano Bar.
