Dinner and a show makes for a great night out and The Comedy Cove @ Scotty's is Headlining Kevin Meaney, from S.N.L., Hairspray on Broadway and the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson!
With an inspired blend of lunacy that includes physical humor, impersonations,
stylized caricatures of nightclub singers and his signature "man on the street"
interviews. Emmy Award winner KEVIN MEANEY has been one of the country's most
popular standup comedians for more than 25 years. Tom Shale's of the Washington
Post said, "Picture the precocious love child of Jonathan Winters and Ethel
Merman and you have some idea of Kevin Meaney's act." Making people laugh has
always been a top priority for Kevin. From his early years doing standup comedy
in San Francisco and Boston he's amassed an impressive list of credits along the
way. His first HBO special in 1986 catapulted him to the forefront of the comedy
scene. In 1987 Kevin made his debut appearance on, "The Tonight Show" with
Johnny Carson and was invited by Johnny to join the guest panel. Since his first
appearance Kevin has returned to the show a dozen times. He was a special guest
on Saturday Night Live and has appeared on Letterman, Regis, Oprah and Conan.
Kevin is also an accomplished actor, having starred in the CBS sitcom, "Uncle
Buck" which ran for a full season. In addition, he has done numerous guest
appearances on both sitcoms and dramas. He also had a featured role in the movie
'Big". In 2006, Kevin expanded his acting repertoire to appear in the Broadway
production of Hairspray as The Male Authority Figure, playing five roles - Mr.
Pinky, Harriman F. Spritzer, The Principal, The Cop and the Flasher. Kevin is
also a successful writer and producer. He wrote and produced and starred in a
one-man autobiographical play titled, Wedding Vows in Vegas which premiered at
the prestigious U.S. Comedy Arts Festival in Aspen, Colorado before going on to
a successful summer run in Boston at the Hasty Pudding Theatre. Steve Martin
called it, "The most innovative, heart-rending and funny show I've seen in a
long, long time." Known for drawing upon his family relationships for much of
his material, Kevin has made such lines as "That's not Right" and "We're Big
Pants People" and "We're going to lose the house" (delivered in the tremulous
voice of his mother) catch phrases for hilarity. An evening with Kevin is a trip
to the funhouse and one laugh escalates into a bigger one and good-hearted humor
prevails. So, Big Pants People of the world unite...your leader is here, his
name is Kevin Meaney and he's on a mission of mirth. Kevin is currently living
in New York with his daughter Kate.
