Road trip: Comedy in Princeton
We had Saturday off, so we motored up 295 to hang out with Bonnie McFarlane (who was headlining Princeton Catch A Rising Star). We brought along former Rascals Cherry Hill GM Jason Pollock. And we were joined by comedian Rabbi Bob Alper— a longtime reader/supporter of SHECKYmagazine.com– we had never met the Alper, but we’ve corresponded with him for what seems like forever; it was great to finally meet him after all these years. (He was in a Philly suburb for a full weekend– officiating at a wedding Saturday, then gigging at a synogogue on Sunday.)
(Thanks to Catch manager Steve Trevelise for his hospitality.)

I saw Bonnie tape a special in NCY right after she had her baby, and then saw her a year later, toting Baby to do a set at Stand-Up NY (Voss was with her both times). I can imagine it’s tough to be a parent AND work the road. Bonnie’s awesome. And I approve of Joe Pontillo. He’s a great guy and very funny. Thanks for giving him a shout-out!
