NY Laughs: Laughter in the Park 2008
Friday, September 19, 2008 from 6pm - 8pm
Location : Tompkins Square Park, Manhattan
NY Laugh's Laughter in the Park series hosts two hours of stand-up comedy in Tompkins Square Park. Tonight Jordan Carlos performs. Jordan is a popular New York alternative comic. He was recently nominated as Best Male Comic of the Year by ECNY (Emerging Comedians of New York). TV appearances include a recurring role on "The Colbert Report" where he appears as "Alan," Steven's (wait for it) long-suffering black friend.
NYLaughs, Inc. is a new not-for-profit corporation that wants to change the cultural landscape of the Big Apple through humor. We seek to elevate the comic arts and provide laughter for free to New Yorkers on a consistent basis by producing outdoor comedy shows throughout the City's public venues.
