Comedy Night To Benefit Liberty Corner Fire Company

BERNARDS TOWNSHIP — The Liberty Corner Fire Company, an all­ volunteer fire and rescue organization in the Liberty Corner section of Bernards Township, will host its biannual comedy night on Saturday evening, Oct. 22, in the ballroom of the firehouse at 95 Church St.

This year’s line up is to be set shortly, but the trio of comics who play from New York to California, ABC to Comedy Central, star in films and theater and are guaranteed to entertain.

As a Comedy Central favorite and a regular on The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson, Butch Bradley doesn’t just warm up an audience, he sets them on fire! Raised by a single mom who worked as a casino manager in the heart of Atlantic City, Bradley was inspired by, and exposed to comedy greats like Rodney Dangerfield, Don Rickles, and George Carlin.

Bradley’s likability leaves an audience feeling like they just hung out with an old friend. His unique outlook on life and humorous translation of everyday fear and anxiety caught the attention of Courtney Cox and David Arquette, which led to a pilot deal at Fox. In between touring and performing at festivals like the Aspen Rooftop Comedy Festival and The Montreal Just for Laughs Comedy Festival, Bradley is a USO regular and has done countless tours overseas. When home in Los Angeles, comedy veteran Bradley can be seen at the Laugh Factory.

Tommy Gooch has been doing stand up Comedy for over 13 years and has performed on all the major stages in New York City. Tommy is a regular at the world famous Broadway Comedy Club and New York Comedy Club in New York City. Tommy also hosts regularly at Jester's Comedy Club and Caesars Palace Resorts. His ranting self ­deprecating, family ­oriented style of comedy always makes him a lovable favorite. Tommy's specialization in audience interaction, makes him a popular emcee and host. Tommy has been seen on The Staten Island Comedy Show on Time Warner.

Brad Trackman is a NYC comedian with universal appeal. He has made national television appearances on CBS' "The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson," "Comics Unleashed" with Byron Allen, AXS TV's "Gotham Comedy Live," NBC's "Later," "Friday Night," CBS's "Star Search" with Arsenio Hall, ABC's "NY Comedy Festival," Metro TV's "New Joke City" hosted by Robert Klein, Comedy Central's "Heroes Of Jewish Comedy,” “Stand Up Stand Up" and MTV's "The Buried Life."

Trackman headlines around the country playing the best venues such as the DC Improv where he recorded both of his CDs ("Safecracker" and "Cool Guys Don't Wear Pink"). Both CDs have received critical acclaim and were produced by SiriusXM Radio's comedy program director, Joel Haas. If you're wondering what makes Brad such a unique comedian, it's his versatility and ability to absolutely kill while working squeaky clean.

That's why "Radio Shack" had Trackman headline the "Net Together Concert" in Times Square (and simulcast in San Francisco) with a 20­foot tall jumbotron behind him and a crowd of 5,000 in front of him. Trackman has opened for Dana Carvey, Joan Rivers, Robin Williams, Damon Wayons and Weird Al Yankovic.
