ABOUT PAUL ANTHONY:

Paul Anthony has been providing laughs since childhood–starting in his parents’ living room, where he would perform Steve Martin comedy albums verbatim for a captive (and slightly confused) couch-bound audience. His stand-up career took an unexpected turn while he was a graduate student at Notre Dame, where he hosted a wildly popular end-of-year talent show. He’s been hitting the stage ever since.  Today, Paul Anthony performs regularly at comedy clubs around NYC, Long Island, and beyond. He’s a crowd favorite at the Comedy Club @ Theatre Three in Port Jefferson as well as at top theater venues throughout the region. Along the way, he’s shared the stage with comedy legends like Robert Klein, Gary Gulman, Chris Distefano, Vic DiBitetto, Judy Gold, and Louie Anderson.  With a sharp eye for life’s everyday absurdities—marriage, modern technology, and everything in between—Paul’s observational humor connects with audiences of all ages. He also proudly serves as the official host of the Long Island Comedy Festival, the longest running Comedy Festival of its kind. 

ABOUT MARIA WALSH:

Known as “America’s Naughtiest Mommy”, Maria Walsh headlines top venues around the country.  Voted Las Vegas’ “Next Big Act”, Maria Walsh is one of the most popular female comics today.  She’s been part of the Moms’ Night Out Long Island tour since it launched back in 2016.  At an early age, Maria found a knack for making people laugh, by improvising jokes for her friends and family.  After raising her kids, she took to the road poking fun at family relationships and everything along the way.  She has quickly risen to the top of the comedy scene, dazzling sold-out theaters and clubs across the nation.  Maria’s quick wit and hilarious facial expressions and act-outs give her a memorable and commanding stage presence.  This has earned her a place in the top echelon of the nation’s comedians winning over audiences both young and old with her unique brand of humor. 

ABOUT MICK THOMAS:
