A John Waters Christmas, Dec 18, 2009 - Next Month
John Waters’ one-man show is a "vaudeville" act.
Category: New Brunswick Theater event in New Jersey
Description of this New Brunswick Event: Fri, December 18, 2009 at 8pm
John Waters’ one-man show is a "vaudeville" act that celebrates his incredible filmmaking career with a provocative and devious monologue that takes the audience on a wonderfully misbehaved trip to the extremes of the contemporary art world, where it can share in Waters’ fascination with true crime, trash, and exploitation films—a journey where absolutely nothing is sacred.
John Waters is the quintessence of cult films and the ‘midnight movies’ phenomenon, and his films—which range from Mondo Trasho, Pink Flamingos, and Female Trouble, via the original Hairspray that inspired the successful Broadway show of the same name, to A Dirty Shame and Cry Baby, the breakthrough-film of a tender-faced Johnny Depp, are eternal classics.
This performance includes Adult Content not suitable for children.
Tickets: $27-47

Blocks of Color:, Sep 01, 2009 to Jan 03, 2010
American Woodcuts from the 1890s to the present
Category: New Brunswick Art event in New Jersey
Description of this New Brunswick Event: This presentation of over 100 prints surveys the use of the woodcut medium in the United States. The exhibition begins with a remarkable moment in the late nineteenth century when American artists, inspired by the arts and crafts movement and Japanese color prints, began experimenting with new ways to print in color. Rarely seen color woodcuts by Arthur Wesley Dow, an influential educational leader who promoted the art of the color woodcut, depict alluring Massachusetts landscapes in Japanese-inspired styles. Later artists experimented with the technique to create modernist imagery. Blanche Lazzell adapted cubism to render still lifes and the hills of West Virginia in brilliant yellows, oranges, greens, and blues. By the middle of the twentieth century, artists were transforming the woodcut to display bold colors and abstract forms. Contemporary artists worked in the medium in unprecedented ways; they created large-scale color woodcuts featuring people, landscapes, geometric abstraction, or organic forms, in styles as varied as abstract expressionism and minimalism. Blocks of Color continues up to the present day with prints by 43 other artists, including Polly Apfelbaum, Richard Bosman, Francesco Clemente, Richard Diebenkorn, Jim Dine, Helen Frankenthaler, Donald Judd, Karen Kunc, Sherrie Levine, Michael Mazur, and others. Drawn primarily from the Zimmerli’s extensive print collection, this exhibition is also complemented by several key loans from regional collections. Christine Giviskos, Associate Curator of Nineteenth-Century European Art, curated the exhibition with Marilyn Symmes, Director of the Morse Research Center for Graphic Arts and Curator of Prints and Drawings.

Catch A Rising Star Comedy Club Princeton, Nov 27, 2009 - Next Week
Headlining Craig Carmean Featuring James Goff
Category: Princeton Nightlife event in New Jersey
Description of this Princeton Event: This week at Catch A Rising Star- Hyatt Regency Princeton
Friday November 27th 8:00 pm $17.50
Headlining Craig Carmean featuring James Goff with Steve Trevelise
A creative comedian and dynamic performer who is developing a national following, Craig Carmean is certain to establish his unique brand of humor with upcoming projects on television and radio.
Craig began his entertainment journey as a child, learning the piano, guitar, and singing with the school choir. From there, he was hooked.
Growing up in Athens, Georgia, it seemed that Craig would follow the path of other local artists like the B-52’s and REM. Over the years, he became the frontman and writer for several bands and eventually headed away from home as a solo artist.
Playing acoustic guitar and singing for unappreciative audiences would eventually change his approach on stage. Changing the lyrics to his songs to disturbing, yet clever, funny songs, and constantly interacting with the audience turned him into a stand-up comic.
He spent many years writing and polishing a comedy act, using music as his tool. As time went by, he started doing less and less music. He found himself talking more and more. Until one day he realized that he had an hour long set with no music. But, the funny songs were still very popular. So, Craig started to write original songs and song parodies for morning radio. That ended up landing him a job as an “on-air personality” for a morning radio show in South Florida (one of the largest markets in the country).
Currently, as a comedy writer for morning radio prep services, he can be heard on hundreds of morning radio shows across the country in addition to Channel 150 on XM Satellite Radio, Sirius Satellite Radio’s “Raw Dog,” and he is featured on the National Lampoon Radio Hour.
As a stand-up comedian, Craig is building a large following through touring and internet downloads of his comedy bits. Sellout crowds and packed houses have watched Craig perform at venues as varied as the Improv Comedy Clubs, Funnybones, the New York City clubs, and is a favorite on college campuses around the country. His remarkable success around the country has made him one of the most popular acts at college and universities today.
Among the awards Craig has received for his work include being named Campus Activities Magazine’s “Comedian Of The Year,” and numerous nominations by APCA and NACA for “Entertainer Of The Year.”
Craig is one of the finest comedians working today, a great act that will keep you on the edge of your seat with comedy and funny songs that hit home. He hits the stage running with an enthusiasm and energy that never lets up while his tireless and hilarious delivery will leave you gasping for air.

Catch A Rising Star Comedy Club Princeton, Dec 04, 2009 to Dec 05, 2009 - Next Month
Headlining April Macie featuring Jeff Glass
Category: Princeton Nightlife event in New Jersey
Description of this Princeton Event: This week at Catch A Rising Star- Hyatt Regency Princeton
Friday December 4th 8:00 pm $17.50
Saturday December 5th 7:30 & 9:30pm $20.00
Headlining April Macie featuring Jeff Glass
You remember the girl in your high school who had a horrible rumor spread about her? It might have involved a football team, a dog and some peanut butter, or processed meat. Well, that girl in Easton, Pennsylvania was April Macie. So, where did she turn for comfort? Not to her family because they’re all crazy. Crazy or drunk … oh yeah, or slightly retarded.
So, where do you go when you’re an outcast in school and your family tree is rotten? While some might sit rocking in the fetal position slowly humming Copacabana, others might turn to the Lord, but April turned to promiscuity, promiscuity and then comedy.
With her irreverent brand of overtly sexual humor, she attempts to break down double standards and lend her voice to sexually dissatisfied women everywhere. April would like to add that she doesn’t really know what irreverent means, but she’s heard a lot of other comics use it and thought it sounded kinda cool.
“Her comedy is searingly honest,” said this guy she knows from working at Hooter’s who came to see her show one time. Although she has only been doing comedy for a short period of time, she has been using comedy as a defense her entire life. She loves to perform and her favorite role to play is victim.
For April, comedy isn’t a career, comedy isn’t even a choice; comedy is a calling! She totally stole that quote from Bernie Mac, but it’s so great and she truly believes it is her calling. April also loves to talk about herself in the third person and thinks ‘bios’ are retarded

Catch A Risinng Star Princeton Hyatt Regency, Nov 28, 2009 to Nov 29, 2009 - Next Weekend
Gilbert Gottfried
Category: Princeton Nightlife event in New Jersey
Description of this Princeton Event: This week at Catch A Rising Star- Hyatt Regency Princeton
Saturday November 28th 8:00 pm $25.00 general admission $35.00 VIP seating
Headlining Gilbert Gottfried
At the young age of 15, Gilbert Gottfried began doing stand-up at open mic nights in New York City and, after a few short years, became known around town as “the comedian’s comedian.” After spending several years mastering the art of stand-up comedy, producers of the legendary NBC late night comedy show “Saturday Night Live” became aware of Gottfried and, in 1980, hired him as a cast member. It wasn't until a few years later when his true notoriety would begin when MTV hired him for a series of improvised and hilarious promos for the newly formed channel. This led to several television appearances on “The Cosby Show” and “Late Night with David Letterman.”
Gottfried’s work in television soon led to roles in film. Most notable was his improvised scene as business manager Sidney Bernstein in the hit sequel “Beverly Hills Cop II,” for which the New York Daily News said that “Gilbert Gottfried steals the picture with a single scene.” Aside from his glowing reputation in comedy clubs, Gottfried began to gain a reputation as the king of quirky roles in both movies and television. He appeared in such movies as “Problem Child,” “Problem Child II,” “Look Who’s Talking II” and “The Adventures of Ford Fairlane.” He was also the host of the very popular late night movie series “USA Up All Night.”
After his stellar performance as the wise cracking parrot ‘Iago’ in the Disney classic “Aladdin,” Gottfried became one of the most recognizable voiceover talents. His signature voice can be heard in several commercials, cartoons and movies, including the frustrated duck in the AFLAC Insurance commercials. Gottfried also is the voice of Digit in the long running PBS Series “Cyberchase.”
Gottfried has been a regular on the new “Hollywood Squares” and is a frequent guest on “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno” and “The Howard Stern Show.” Gottfried recently appeared in the hit comedy documentary “The Aristocrats,” with Entertainment Weekly saying that “out of the 101 comedians who appear on screen, no one is funnier - or more disgusting – than Gilbert Gottfried.”
“Gilbert Gottfried Dirty Jokes” was recently released on both DVD and CD, featuring 50 non-stop minutes of Gottfried telling the funniest and filthiest jokes ever. The show was filmed live at the Gotham Comedy Club in New York City. Also featured on the DVD are some of the funniest bonus features ever, including wild stories, indignant ranting and celebrity impressions that will leave viewers crying for more. For this live performance, Gottfried puts aside political correctness and fires an onslaught of jokes that know no boundaries. At the end of the show, Gottfried tells what is known among comedians as the “Dirtiest Joke of All Time,” which is also the basis for “The Aristocrats.”
Gottfried is one of the most sought-after comedians, and regularly performs live to sold-out audiences across North America
