ABOUT THE SHOW

Get ready for a triple dose of laughter with Maryellen Hooper, Karen Rontowski, and Maureen Langan! These three hilarious women take the stage by storm in a comedy extravaganza that blends sharp wit, outrageous anecdotes, and side-splitting observations on life, love, and everything in between. From Maryellen’s quirky take on everyday mishaps to Karen’s whimsical musings on the supernatural, and Maureen’s no-holds-barred commentary on modern relationships, this show promises non-stop hilarity and a night you won’t soon forget. Buckle up for an evening of laughter therapy that celebrates the unique humor and wit of these talented comedians!

A veteran in the world of stand up, MARYELLEN HOOPER’S comedy has taken her from clubs and colleges to theaters and television. She’s appeared on “The Dennis Miller Show”, “The Martin Short Show”, “The Tonight Show” with Jay Leno and has had her own 1/2 hour special on Comedy Central called “Lounge Lizards”. In 1998, the comedy industry awarded Maryellen “Female Comedian of the Year” at the American Comedy Awards.

A physical, story-teller, Maryellen’s act is an ever-evolving story about her life as a woman, wife and mother. Never crude or offensive, her accounts of life’s little annoyances leave audiences exhausted from laughter. From home repairs on her family’s “Fixer Upper” to colicky babies, no story is too sacred to share with her audiences. Maryellen just taped her latest stand-up special, “Stinky Flowers” which will air this fall. The special is based on her stories about Wifedom and Mommyhood from her hugely popular blog, Stinky Flowers.

David Brenner says, “Even if you can’t spell KAREN RONTOWSKI, you’d better remember it, because she is GREAT!” Ms. Rontowski describes herself as having an optimistic outlook; everything is coming up roses when you talk to Karen. So what if her therapist says she’s in complete denial. The truth is, when it comes to her standup comedy career, everythingis coming up roses, or at least laughter.Comedian Karen Rontowski’s upbeat, optimistic and clean sense of humor has earned her headlining spots all over the world. She has also opened for such show biz legends as Bob Hope, Ray Charles, and The Monkees. Often described as a “New Age Hippie” Rontowski says “there is no time like the present to be living in the past. 

“Karen has toured the world over and has entertained the troops with tales of her Polish father who once put a drawbridge on their house… actually he just mistakenly installed the garage door upside down. Karen is a TV favorite appearing on Comedy Central, Live at Gotham and Comics Unleashed. She is a regular on the Bob and Tom Radio Show where she talks about her other career as a paranormal investigator. She recently completed the TV demo pilot, Karen’s Supernatural Junkyard, in which she spear-heads hilarious adventures into the supernatural. Karen says, “I am not afraid of ghosts, they’re just people who don’t know their dead yet.”
