New Comedy CELLINO V. BARNES Comes To The Bell House, 8/3

After sold-out runs at Union Hall (Brooklyn), the Alleyway Theater (Buffalo), and at UCB Sunset (LA), the new comedy Cellino v. Barnes is set to play The Bell House in Brooklyn for one night only on August 3 at 7:30 pm.

Created by Michael Breen (Ross Cellino) and David Rafailedes (Steve Barnes), the play was inspired by the highly publicized break-up of longtime law partners and personal injury lawyers, Cellino & Barnes, who are well known for their commercials that feature the jingle "888-8888." The production is directed by Hayley Huntley of Comedy Central's REVIEW and TVLand's LOPEZ.

Ross Cellino wants to end his longtime partnership with Steve Barnes, but Steve isn't letting Ross go without a fight. Together they built an empire, but now they are ready to tear it all down. What the fuzz happened to those two? Weren't they, like, best friends? Let's go back to where it all began, the beginning.

Tickets are $10 in advance, $12 the day of the show and are available at www.thebellhouseny.com/e/cellino-v-barnes-62583355501. Ages 21 and over, doors open at 7 pm. This event will be mixed seating (seated/standing). Please arrive early for best seat selection. Performance takes place at The Bell House, 149 7th Street (between 2nd & 3rd avenue), Brooklyn, NY, 11215. Subways: F/G/R to 9th Street & 4th Avenue. Running time: 60 minutes
