Welcome to Vinnie Brand's Stress Factory Comedy Club
A little bit of bad mixed with a little bit of good.
Due to unforeseen circumstances The Amazing Johnathan will not be headlining the club this weekend. He was in a car accident and we are wishing him a very speedy recovery. We will also be rebooking him in the near future when he is up on his feet and better. Get well soon good Sir. Now that the bad is out of the way… The Good. Our great friend and Awesome headliner ANGEL SALAZAR will be filling in this weekend. Who is Angel Salazar? Ever seen a movie called Carlito’s Way? How about a small film called SCARFACE? Yeah THAT Angel Salazar!!! He will be headlining all weekend. Come Sheck-it-out!!! Also, Angel will be stepping into THE PROVING GROUND (our Live Podcast) immediately following the show tonight. You definitely want to see this show and stick around for the Live Podcast. Me and Angel go WAY back and we have some great topics to be discussed. This will probably be the best one to date. See you this weekend!!!

OK, more on the calendar by checking our calendar page above. Download our APP on DROID or I-PHONE. Let's talk calendars for a minute. Yes, the Mayan calendar ends in December. What does that mean? I don't know, the Mayans are all but extinct. Probably means that they didn't know too much about survival and knew that their culture was doomed so why keep producing calendars. Here is another calendar that ended -
WOMEN OF BRADLEES - Little known fact that the chain Bradless had their own calendar with hot Bradlees Babes. Company went out of business years ago and everyone predicted the end of the world, but no, Target just opened up. No biggee. Pay your mortgage when the time comes, trust me.

He'll be back but right now we need all the good Karma the world has to offer for him. LOVE YOU BARRY!
FA LA LA LA LA!!
In case you didn’t notice, the holidays are just around the corner! This time of the year is always super busy and super hectic for everyone. Let this little blurb serve as a reminder that you should take a break from all the hustle and bustle and treat yourself. While you’re worrying about whether or not the kids will like the socks you got them (they won’t) or if Old Aunt Helen is currently knitting you a yuletide sweater suspiciously the same color and texture as her cat’s fur (she probably is)….don’t forget to think of the perfect present for the person who is always there for you year round….you! Want a perfect way to reward yourself for being either naughty or nice all year? A WORRYFREE NIGHT OUT FILLED WITH LAUGHTER. It’ll put you in the Holiday spirit if you not already or keep it going if you haven’t decided to drown your sorrows in vats of eggnog yet.
In case you didn’t see it yet, we just made a HUGE show announcement to wrap up the end of our star-studded 20th year of HAHA. The one, the only, the legendary, the loud TRACY MORGAN will be here the day after Christmas for one…JUST ONE….show only on DECEMBER 26th. This is HUGE. MAMMOTH. EPIC. The 30 Rock and Saturday Night Live star will be here bringing down the house in his ONLY area performance. This is it! This is the guy who brought us Tracy Jordan, Brian Fellows, Dominican Lou and so many other hilarious personas. He doesn’t need any hype or selling, he simply is TRACY MORGAN. GET YOUR TICKETS NOW. ONE SHOW, ONLY AREA PERFORMANCE, AND SUPERSTAR ATTRACTION are a recipe for a record breaking sellout.
This weekend, December 15-17 brings back a great friend of the club, ROSS BENNETT. Ross is one of the funniest guys you haven’t heard a lot about. No one has left one of Ross’ shows not in stitches and you have to come see why. Do it. Trust me on this one.
And finally, if you haven’t bought them already, GET YOU NEW YEAR’S TICKETS NOW! This is the biggest, best and as far as you should be concerned, ONLY area New Year’s Party that has it all. The incomparable ROBERT KELLY, a delicious buffet, an OPEN BAR and all the fun and frivolity you need to say goodbye to this year and usher in the next!
So treat the most important person you know to the gift of laughter. If it’s you, awesome! If it’s someone else….we’ll pretend you aren’t taking them and just treating yourself too. And while you’re at it, get your HOLIDAY GIFT CARDS….ONE STOP SHOPPING, now who doesn’t love that?
