JIM LAULETTA
A favorite act wherever he goes, Jim mixes his cynical, biting, self-deprecating material with some of the most off the wall off the wall and original impressions you'll EVER see. Quoted by the Boston Globe as "...off-beat and original." Not only is Jim one of the most popular headliners in New England, he's a regular performer in Las Vegas and Atlantic City. Jim also has an impressive resume of national television credits which include: HBO's US Comedy Arts Festival's "Best of the Fest," NBC,A&E's "Caroline's Comedy Hour", Comedy Central's "Two Drink Minimum", "Stand-up, Stand-up", "Make Me Laugh", "Comic Re-mix" and "Shorties Watchin' Shorties" and Comcast's "Comedy Spotlight". With out a doubt, Jim's show will leave you wanting more. No two shows are exactly alike but do, however, include his signature closing bits: the insane Roy Schieder as Chief Brody in the film "JAWS" with a surprising twist. Not to mention, the ever popular trip to insanity and homage to a true comedy legend: Don Knotts as BATMAN!! No hugs from his Dad means a great night of entertainment for all. Every Tuesday he headlines and hosts a showcase of Boston's latest comedy sensations and tried and true veterans.

Shear Madness

Presented by Shear Madness at The Charles Playhouse

Set in a local hair salon and with lines as up-to-date as the morning's news, Shear Madness is theatre with the audience as a central character. In this Boston institution, ongoing at the Charles Playhouse since 1980, the audience gets to help solve a murder mystery in a laugh-a-minute blend of whodunit and improvisational theater. The clues change every night and the laughs come fast and funny. This worldwide phenomenon is filled with up to the minute spontaneous humor and quicksilver improvisation. The audience becomes part of the action and gets to solve the crime.

Voted "Best Comedy of the Year" seven times by the Boston Globe and recipient of the title "Best Play of the Year" by both the Chicago Sun-Times and the Philadelphia Enquirer, "Shear Madness" has also received the Raven Award from the Mystery Writers of America and has been inducted into the Comedy Hall of Fame, the first play ever to receive that accolade. "Shear Madness" is listed in the Guiness Book of World Records as the longest running play in the history of the USA.
