To round out the month of December, on the 29th the Warner is presenting the All Star Comedy Show at 8 pm in the  Studio Theatre. Tickets are $25! We are excited to host an evening of comedy* with Blue Boy Entertainment's All-Star Comedy Show starring KAREEM BLUE, LINDA BELT, DARREN RIVERA and PEACHES RODRIGUEZ.Kareem Blue is a former boxer turned comedian; an entertainer, actor and producer of his own comedy shows; and owner and operator of Blue Boy Entertainment. Kareem was runner up in New England's Funniest Comic at Mohegan Sun. Linda Belt is a New Jersey native (a comedy routine in itself). Her humor touches on the absurdities of modern life and explores marriage, sex, parenting and social mores, in other words: any subject she feels like discussing! Darren Rivera "The RicenBean Joker" was born in the Bronx, raised in the suburbs of Pennsylvania and started his career in New England - giving him and his observations a twist to everyday life. Darren is a runner up at Last Comix Standing at Mohegan Sun. Peaches Rodriguez is a nationally touring comic, and regularly performs in Atlantic City and Las Vegas. She has opened for Arsenio Hall, shared the stage with Jerry Seinfeld and very recently danced in a video for Elton John’s Farewell Yellow Brick Road Tour!
