Comedic juggernaut to flex muscles
Joe Torry will make you laugh for food. The comedy legend already has sold out his early show on Saturday, leaving only three more performances left. He’ll be joined by comedienne Chrissie Mayr.
Torry was a host of HBO’s Def Comedy Jam, produced by Russell Simmons. The classic show featured some of the most iconic comedians, including Bernie Mac, Chris Rock, Martin Lawrence, Dave Chappelle and a bunch of others.
In addition to hosting that show, he’s appeared in several box-office films including “Poetic Justice,” “Sprung,” “House Party” and “House Party 3.”

It’s a situation so funny that a growing number of ostracized comics forgot to laugh: Conservative-leaning material, they say, is increasingly subject to arbitrary online censorship by Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and other social media giants treatment that appears to have no other explanation except the targets’ bucking of leftist orthodoxy.
Openly conservative stand-up Nick Di Paolo got suspended from YouTube for supposedly sharing false information, after ridiculing the left’s exaggerations of the virus in attacking former President Donald Trump.
