The “C Word” Comedy Show April 6th, 2012 at the CNY JAZZ Foundation

  • On Friday, April 6, comedians Jessimae Peluso, Amy Carlson, and Anna Phillips will perform together in The C Word, a show with a unique twist on stand-up comedy, at Jazz Central’s theater in downtown Syracuse, N.Y.

    The C Word features three funny women who pull no punches as they deliver clever, fearless and provocative humor from three diverse perspectives. From New Rochelle, N.Y., Amy Carlson (SiriusXM Radio, Real Time with Bill Maher, Paid or Pain) is known for poking fun at her own personal failures and commenting on the idiosyncrasies of life. Carlson brings her acid tongue and sardonic wit to the Jazz Central stage for the first time.

    Syracuse’s own Jessimae Peluso (NBC-TV, The Tyra Banks Show, The Huffington Post) returns from New York City with her high-energy, raw, straight-forward comedy. Peluso, a graduate of Henniger High School, was a finalist at the Boston Comedy Festival, the Women In Comedy Festival (WICF), New York City’s ‘Funniest Comedian Contest,’ was featured on the 5 Funny Females Tour, and headlines the “Hometown Humour Tour” every year at Syracuse’s Palace Theatre.

    A Baltimore native, Anna Phillips is a local up-and-coming comic who appears regularly around Syracuse and Upstate New York, including successful charity performances for The Wounded Warrior Project and Alzheimer’s Association. Phillips, the producer of The C Word, says she hopes to continue to bring talented, professional comedians to Syracuse, including those who usually perform in bigger cities, for an affordable and intimate night of entertainment. Although she says talent, not gender, is the most important factor in booking a show, this will be Phillips’ first time producing an all-female lineup.

    The C Word has a little bit of everything for everyone, from slam poetry to stand-up and storytelling, and guarantees a lot of laughter. This is not your average stand-up comedy show. This is an experience not to be missed.

    Jazz Central is located at 441 East Washington St. Show starts at 9 p.m. Doors open at 8:30 p.m. and there will be a cash bar. Tickets: www.brownpapertickets.com/event/230220 or $15 (cash only) at the door. Seating is limited. For reservations or information call 315-345-9669, email annadreambig@gmail.com or visitwww.cnyjazz.org
