John Caponera

Where: Ann Arbor Comedy Showcase

Date: 2008-03-08 20:00:00

John Caponera has honed his act over a seventeen year career performing to audiences all over the world. Caponera is considered a comic's comic, a true professional offering a mix of material from topical to impressions to characterizations to stories and one-liners. Caponera sets his own intentionally erratic pace, pausing to perfection to complement his oddly timed but rewarding comic insights. The jokes are further bolstered by his talent for facial gestures that range from goofy to arrogant, making Caponera arguably the hottest club headliner today. "You may recognize John as the star of his own sitcom on NBC called "The Good Life" or as the host of Comedy Central's sport show "Jocks" and ESPN's "Talk II". Other credits include guest star appearances on "ER", "Love & War", "Blossom", "Tales From The Crypt", "The Tonight Show", "The Dennis Miller Show", "L.A. Law", "NBC's Miniseries Drug Wars", "The John Laroquette Show", "The Drew Carey Show", "The Crew" and the "Espy Awards". Don’t miss the humor of this special comedian this week at the Comedy Showcase. Showtimes: 8:00 & 10:30pm Tickets: $12 in advance, $14 at the door

Patrice O'neal

Where: Ann Arbor Comedy Showcase

Date: 2008-03-27 20:00:00

Patrice got his first real taste of standup at a place called Estelle's in Boston. He was heckling a comic, and the comic suggested maybe Patrice thought he could do better. Patrice did and the following week he went on stage at Estelle's and brought down the house. From there he went on to work at the Comedy Connection, then moved to working the clubs in and around Boston, New England, and New York. Now, years later, Patrice has a wide range of comedic tools. In one bit, Patrice, at 6'5" and 300+ lbs, makes the audience hear and almost see the story of an eastern European gymnast quietly speaking of her difficult upbringing and training. The Boston Globe said, "It is a hilarious piece made all the more so by the contradiction between O'Neal's very visible presence and that of the young white girl he is playing. Asked to whom he aspires, Patrice mentions only two names: George Carlin and Richard Pryor: Carlin for his distinct point of view and universal appeal; Pryor for his honesty, vulnerability and personal revelation. Patrice has appeared on "The Late Show With Conan O'Brien" three times and recurred on both NBC's "The Colin Quinn Show" and Comedy Central's hilarious spoof "Concept Searchlight". He has also performed standup comedy at both the prestigious Montreal Just For Laughs and the HBO U.S. Comedy Arts Festival in Aspen. Additionally Patrice has appeared on Comedy Central's "Premium Blend", NBC's "Comedy Showcase", as well as having his own on half-hour special SHOWTIME. Catch Patrice in the films "THE 25th Hour" directed by Spike Lee, "In the Cut" with Meg Ryan and "Head of State" with Chris Rock. He has also starred in his own 1/2 hour special "Comedy Central Presents Patrice O’Neal". He’s also a regular guest on the nationally syndicated radio show “Opie & Anthony” who had a run in Detroit on 97.1FM. Don't miss the chance to see this rising, comedic star!
