The Richie Minervini Roast
On Sunday January 26th,
we will be honoring a man “comedy style” – with a good old-fashioned roast.
Nicknamed the “Godfather of Long
Island Comedy”, Richie Minervini ran and performed at his club on Jericho Tpke creating
a sense of community among his fellow comics
Richie Minervini’s legendary East
Side Comedy Club of Huntington (1979-1993) was the launching ground for many of
today’s favorite comics.
