Caroline's Kicks Off Monthly 'Broadway Laughs' with First Guest Richard Kind on March 7th

Carolines on Broadway, America's Premier Comedy Nightclub, will bring the traditionally "dark" Monday nights when most Broadway productions are closed to showcase the very best of Broadway with the very best of Carolines comedy. The new monthly show, "Broadway Laughs," kicks off in grand fashion on Monday, March 7th, with a special performance by Richard Kind, who currently stars in "The Producers." The show will be hosted by funnyman Kevin Meaney, and will feature stand-up performances by comedians Russ Meneve ("The Tonight Show with Jay Leno," "Comedy Central Presents…") and Greer Barnes ("Chappelle's Show"), as well as performances by Broadway stars Matt Stokes ("The Boy from Oz," "The Full Monty") and Stephanie D'Abruzzo (original and current cast member of "Avenue Q").

Show time is 7:00 p.m. Cover charge of $25.00 per person plus a two-drink minimum. For reservations call (212) 757-4100. For more information visit Carolines online at www.carolines.com.

"We wanted to give people a little taste of Broadway on a night when they can't get to see a show," says "Broadway Laughs" co-producer Bryan Kennedy, "while also giving them a big taste of the kind of great stand-up that one can see at Carolines on Broadway. It's a great mix of musical and stand-up comedy that I'm sure people will enjoy. It's like a night at the theater and a comedy club."

In addition to featuring Broadway's brightest stars on comedy's grandest stage, "Broadway Laughs" also will help raise funds for a worthy organization, Broadway Cares / Equity Fights AIDS, with a portion of the night's proceeds going to benefit BCEFA.

The March 7th performance of "Broadway Laughs" is sponsored by Remy Amerique.
