THE COMPLETE PERFORMER is back
after a complete triumph in The NY International Fringe Festival
Emmy Award-winning comedy writer Ted Greenberg
brings his off-kilter brand of mindless inanity for a limited run
Saturday nights at the Soho Playhouse, opening November 8th.
Hear about the standup comedian who got into the New York International Fringe Festival, convulsed audiences, was picked for the Fringe Encore Series and won the 2008 Producers Award? Funny, huh? And now Emmy Award-winning Ted Greenberg defies a depressed economy to return as The Complete Performer for a limited eight week off-Broadway run, Saturday nights at 10:30 at the Huron Club downstairs at the Soho Playhouse, 15 Vandam Street.
Starting November 8th, New York Saturday nights are going to get a new live infusion of laughs from Greenberg, the Emmy Award-winning writer who came up with some of David Letterman’s most stunningly mindless stunts. Even the NY Times admits the show has “a definite off-center, Letterman-skit quality [and] goes by fast and enjoyably.” See for yourself: stand-up comic Ted Greenberg IS The Complete Performer, dazzling you with a rapid-fire array of magic, mindreading, improv, full frontal nudity and the always-popular audience awards. Plus a half-time show complete with a crowd-rousing mascot.
A familiar fixture of the New York comedy circuit, this is Greenberg's long-awaited solo venture, an interactive whirlwind packed into a 40-minute show from the only stand-up comedy act chosen for the 2008 FringeNYC. Oh, in case you missed the first 45 years: Ted Greenberg graduated from Harvard, wrote for David Letterman, won an Emmy, drove a cab, traded stocks on Wall Street, received a Masters in Public Health and researched suicide prevention. The Complete Performer is his only logical next step.
Here’s what the critics had to say about his recent run in FringeNYC:
“Greenberg’s mostly one-man show is drawing crowds.... There is a definite off center Letterman skit quality to The Complete Performer.... Goes by both fast and enjoyably.” – THE NEW YORK TIMES
“This multifaceted funnyman will deliver laughs, mind-reading and other audience-impressing delights.” – NEW YORK POST
“Rollicking roller coaster ride… rapid-fire hilarity… a powerhouse… kept a full house roaring… leaves you wanting much, much more.” – NYTHEATRE.COM
“Greenberg is truly the Complete Performer…. He was hilarious…. If you ever get a chance, go see Ted Greenberg. You’ll have a completely marvelous time.” – TIME WARNER CHANNEL 67
The Complete Performer plays Saturday nights at 10:30, from November 8th thru January 31st, at the Huron Club downstairs at the Soho Playhouse, 15 Vandam Street, between 6th Avenue and Varick. Tickets are $15 and may be purchased by calling 212/691-1555 or by visiting www.SohoPlayhouse.com. Hey, there’s a bar down there, making this the quintessential New York Saturday night out. Come for the laughs, stay for the drinks.
