Fall Comedy Stand-Up Series 'Jokers of Ace' Featuring Rocky LaPorte, Paula Poundstone and Carlos Alazraqui Benefits Local Charities
The recent No. 2 finisher in Comedy Central's national online contest, one of the top women stand-ups and the star of TV's "Reno 911," are set to headline a series of fundraisers this fall at the Haley Horn Auditorium on the Benicia High School campus
Benicia, CA (PRWEB) May 17, 2007 -- Rocky La Porte, recently featured in "The Shaggy Dog" and runner-up in Comedy Central's "Best Comic" vote, headlines the first "Jokers of Ace" show Thursday, September 20. Proceeds go to the Benicia/Vallejo Humane Society.
Poundstone, recently seen on Bill Maher's talk show, makes a return to Benicia on Saturday, October 13, with the proceeds going to the Benicia High School Parent-Teacher-Student Association.
The final show of the series features Carlos Alazraqui on Saturday, November 10. Alazraqui, a past winner of the San Francisco International Stand-Up Comedy Competition and a regular on "Reno 911" is a Concord native. The event benefits Benicia Little League.
Pedrotti's ACE Hardward in Benicia is the sponsor of the series that is being produced by Red Dragonfly Productions. Gene Pedrotti of Pedrotti's ACE Hardware says that while it might seem unusual for a retailer to help produce entertainment; really it's not. "If you can organize 25,000 items and give great customer service, it's no jump to help organize three comedy performances where the audience can laugh and have fun," said Pedrotti.
