Welcome to Vinnie Brand's Stress Factory Comedy Club

So….no winter? We’re just gonna skip right over the snow, slush and headaches and just have Spring? Sounds alright to me.  Anyway, we are coming off the highs of last week’s crazy schedule and heading straight for another fun weekend at the club. The very funny lady, WENDY LIEBMAN will be here all weekend. Thursday-Saturday, bringing the laughs. You may recall Wendy from her HBO special, her Showtime special, her TWO…yeah TWO…Comedy Central Specials. Not enough? Wendy has also been a guest on numerous television shows, Letterman, Leno, Rosie, Larry Sanders, Kimmel, and Craig Ferguson just to name a couple. Needless to say, Wendy is a force to be reckoned with. Come help us welcome her to the club this weekend!

Don’t forget that after Thursday night’s show, Vinnie will be hopping on stage to record another installment of the PROVING GROUND PODCAST with Wendy as his guest. If any of the other installments of the Proving Ground are any clue, this is going to be another fun, crazy night. The interviews with Vinnie turn out to be more fun than the standup sets themselves. Don’t miss this!

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.
