Laughter begins at the Brook Arts Center starting July 16, as we launch our
Stand Up Comedy Nights. Join us in welcoming three hilarious comedians, John
Moses, Kyle Ocasio and Adam Oliensis, on Friday, July 16th. Tickets available at or call 732-469-7700 www.brookarts.org
For over 15 years, John Moses has
delightfully offended audiences in the U.S., Canada and the U.K. Moses
considers himself an “equal-opportunity offender”. His style is shrewd, raw and
uncompromisingly funny. Moses appears on Sirius XM Raw Dog, The Foxxhole Canada
Laughs, Gotham Comedy Live by AXS.TV and has released two albums: Upper Middle
Trash and On the Edge. Moses appears on Sirius XM Raw Dog, The Foxxhole
Canada Laughs, AXS.TV's Gotham Comedy Live and has released two albums: Upper

Kyle Ocasio has been dubbed “the reluctant wife and
mother” by her comedic peers. Through her comedy, she expresses the frustration
and confusion of everyday life that helps her connect with any audience. She
also enjoys creating characters most notably the Psycho flight attendant from
hell as well as characters inspired by her and Latino and Midwest family members.
After the birth of her third child, she began to journal her experiences as a
mother (usually back on the toilet because that is the only place she could be
alone) she realized that the chaos and insanity had to be shared on stage. Since
her first performance at The Comic Strip Live, Kyle has become a regular on the
NY Comedy scene and was featured on AXS TV's Gotham Comedy Live and comedy show Red
Eye. She was the face of Optimum
TV's Soccer Mom Goals, a show with a comedic twist on "momentary" on
the 2018 World Cup. Rooftop Comedy released her debut album "Tell Mommy Your Name
Again" and collaborative album entitled "Three's Comedy" with
two other comedians. It was number two comedy album of the summer, just behind
Jim Gaffigan.
Adam Oliensis is
attuned to the absurdities that arise in daily life, exploring both the irony
and silliness that exist in the most humiliating situations. He appeared on the
Comedy Central Daily Show with Trevor Noah. His album, Aged Whine, can be heard
on Sirius XM Radio 99, Raw Dog Comedy. He is headlining the Aged Whine Comedy
Tour throughout the Northeast. Adam opened for comic legends, and luminaries
like Robert Klein, Colin Quinn, Gilbert Gottfried and Larry Miller. Adam
co-authored and starred in the movie, The Pompatus of Love, with Actor Jon
Cryer.
On Friday, July 23, at 8 pm, Comedian Joe
Matarese presents his humorous tour - "Remember When" a nostalgic
comedy about the 80s and 90s Come see the show that is taking off on Tik Tok.
Joe will take you back to a time before computers and cell phones existed and
going clubbing seven nights a week seemed important! Widely known for his performance on 'Americas
Got Talent', Matarese won the public long before that, working in the
metropolitan area stand-up circuit since he was 19 years old and has since made
appearances on the most sought-after TV and radio shows. Joe has performed on The
Late Show with David Letterman, The Late Late Show with Craig Kilborn and Craig
Ferguson, Montreal Comedy Festival, and received a standing ovation
on America’s Got Talent. Joe has appeared on the Howard Stern Show and
Chelsea lately, and presently has two 1-Hour Specials on Amazon Prime titled
Medicated and The Posters Wrong. He also had his very own Comedy
Central Presents 1/2 hour special and has recorded 7 standup albums that
are currently in rotation on SiriusXM including Quiet pleasing, Fixing Joe,
Disconnected, When A Comedian Attacks, Medicated, The Poster’s Wrong, and Completely
