STATEN ISLAND COMEDY FESTIVAL
Last August, Soul Joel Productions hosted the 1st Annual Staten Island Comedy Festival that brought four nights of comedy to four different parts of the island. The first three nights brought laughter to Stapleton, Westerleigh, and Great Kills. The excitement grew as Staten Islanders anticipated Thursday night’s Grande Finale at the historic 1,800-seat St. George Theatre. People from all over the Tri-State Area came out to enjoy the night of laughter and fun.
Soul Joel Productions is raising the bar for 2009. This June, they look to kick off the summer with a week of entertainment that will have people buzzing about Staten Island. The festival will consist of six action packed nights of comedy that will be sure to brand Staten Island as one of the newest hotbeds for comedy. Friday night’s show will feature Last Comic Standing co-headliners 
Pete Dominick and Joe DeVito at one of the latest venues for comedy, Lorenzo’s Restaurant, Bar & Cabaret. To add to the excitement, the first two nights of the festival will play host to the “Big Stage Competition.” The winners of the “Big Stage Competition” will open up for Gary Gulman on The Grande Finale at The Music Hall in Snug Harbor on Saturday, June 27th.
