January 24 2020

The reviews are in and Kreeps With Kids is killing it all over the country. With over a hundred years combined comedy experience, not since the Kings of Comedy has a group of headliners this talented shared the stage. Everyone on this bill is a “murderer on stage,” states Robert Kelly who conceived the show at The Village Underground in NYC. Kreeps With Kids featuring Robert Kelly, Ron Bennington, Rich Vos, and Jim Florentine comes to The Ridgefield Playhouse Friday, February 7 and Saturday, February 8 at 8pm, part of Barts Tree Service Comedy Series. All four comedians are dads who discovered they have an odd shared philosophy when it comes to parenting and though the show won’t be exclusively about being parents -- Vos, Florentine, Bennington and Kelly will cover everything and anything -- it provides a hilarious premise. Come see the show that Vanyaland.com called “True Comedy Lightning in a Bottle.” On Friday, February 7th visit Bareburger (38 Danbury Rd, Ridgefield) for dinner the night of the show and enjoy a complimentary glass of house wine or draft beer with your entrée when you show your ticket! On Saturday, February 8th visit Ancient Mariner (451 Main Street, Ridgefield) for dinner the night of the show and enjoy a complimentary glass of house wine or draft beer with the purchase of an entree when you show your ticket! Media partner for this event is 99.1 PLR.

Last March, four of the world’s funniest comedians, who are also friends, took the stage together for a killer night of comedy. The show was politically incorrect, edgy, spontaneous and full of heart. It was a huge success. People were leaving the theater saying it was the best comedy show they had been to in years. So, when the four headliners were approached to do a tour, it was a no brainer.

Originally from Boston, Robert Kelly has become one of comedy’s hardest hitters, unapologetically talking about his dysfunctional family, repeat trips to juvie and his honest take on his own life, relationships and being a dad. Kelly has been a highlight of Montreal’s Just for Laughs Festival for years, and you’ve also seen him on HBO’s “Tourgasm,” FX’s “Louie,” Comedy Central’s “Inside Amy Schumer,” and FX’s “Sex&Drugs&Rock&Roll.” He currently hosts the hit podcast “You Know What Dude” on the Riotcast Network.

Ron Bennington is a headlining comedian and New York based radio talk show host. In addition to hosting “Bennington” on SiriusXM, daily with his daughter Gail, he hosts two critically acclaimed interview shows, “Ron Bennington Interviews” and “Unmasked” and performs at clubs and festivals throughout North America. Prior to coming to SiriusXM, Ron hosted shows on New York’s WNEW and WFNY Free FM, WJFK in Washington DC, and a nationally syndicated show in Tampa, Florida. He’s also a father, and a son.

Rich Vos has over 100 television appearances including four Comedy Central Specials as well as HBO, Showtime, and Starz appearances. He produced and starred in an award-winning comedy movie Women Aren’t Funny alongside Bonnie McFarlane, Chris Rock, Rosie O’Donnell and many more. He is a two-time Academy Awards writer, a regular on SiriusXM radio and the co-host of the hit podcast, “My Wife Hates Me.” He’s been sober for over 32 years and good at golf for 20. He’s also raising three daughters.

Jim Florentine is a stand-up comedian, TV host, actor, podcaster and voice artist best known for co-hosting VH1 Classic’s heavy metal talk show series “That Metal Show” and for his work on Comedy Central’s show “Crank Yankers” which is slated to return to television later this year. You’ve also seen him in the hit movie Trainwreck, on Comedy Central’s “Inside Amy Schumer,” and “Louie” on FX. He’s a nationally touring headliner, and has also opened for Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer, Anthrax, Stone Sour, Black Label Society and more. Jim hosts the popular podcast “Comedy, Metal, Midgets,” and has released seven stand up comedy hours, six volumes of the wildly popular Terrorizing Telemarketers, and a hidden camera series called “Meet the Creeps.” His latest special, “I Got the House,” and his book, Everybody is Awful: [Except You!] are available everywhere. He’s also a first time father.
