They're calling it the "Trump Comedy Series," which, we suppose, means that it will be a regular thing at the Trump Marina. On Saturday, Feb. 2, they'll bring in
Mitch Fatel, Pete Correale and
Lynne Koplitz for one show at 9 PM.
That's not the only comedy the Trump folks are bringing to the Jersey shore--
Mike Birbiglia will perform at the Theatre at Trump Plaza on Saturday., March 8, and Trump Taj is bringing in
Larry The Cable Guy in May.
Maybe the Borgata's heavy emphasis on standup-- both in their 7-night comedy club and their heavy booking of such standup comics as
Kathy Griffin, Jim Norton, Norm MacDonald, Lewis Black and
Kevin James-- is so successful that it's inviting imitation.
CORRECTION: Mitch Fatel has cancelled, or so the Trump VP of Entertainment has emailed us. The site still has Fatel listed... Although the Trump Marina website can't be relied upon for decent information-- under the Fatel/Correale/Koplitz show, they have several paragraphs about Greg Giraldo and Christian Finnegan?!? WTF?!
