The following is a tip from Blair at Wiredset.
No two drink minimum necessary at this venue, it’s entirely free. On Friday, June 19, New York City’s Central Park turns into “COMEDY CENTRAL Park,” a night of free stand-up comedy Live from SummerStage. The outdoor venue is located at mid-Central Park (near the Fifth Avenue & 72nd Street entrance) with doors opening at 7:00 p.m. and the show starting at 8:00 p.m. This is the third consecutive year COMEDY CENTRAL has participated in this hugely successful event.
This year’s presentation of “COMEDY CENTRAL Park” will feature comedian Gabriel Iglesias, who blends his impeccable voice skills with an uncanny knack for animated comedic storytelling that bring his issues to life, and special guest Pablo Francisco, who has an unbelievable ability to physically morph himself into movie stars, singers, friends, family, and a multitude of nationalities. Outback Steakhouse and All-Natural Snapple are the proud sponsors of “COMEDY CENTRAL Park.”
If you do not know who Gabriel Iglesias is then you need to go.. and if you do know who he is then you know you want to go. I have been a fan of his since I saw him on Last Comic Standing. And if you have not heard them yet the shenanigans of him and his buddy Felipe will have you ROFL!
