Laughs in the Loft

Join us for Laughs in the Loft, a SOPAC series featuring stand-up comics from our own backyard, Brooklyn and beyond. You never know who might drop in!

Each Laughs in the Loft event features several comedians in a New York City-style showcase. The talent is announced approximately two weeks prior to each show.

Grab your friends or set up a date night for what Baristanet calls

“A comedy cure for [the] midweek blues”

Intended for mature audiences.
Laughs in the Loft is recommended for ages 18 and up.

Lineup for Wednesday, December 1 at 7:30PM

Robin Fox has been the warmup comic for the off-Broadway show “Puppetry of the Penis” and has appeared on Nickelodeon (wrap your head around that!)

Harry Terjanian, a New Jersey-bred comic, has been a part of the Chicago Just For Laughs Festival, the Great American Comedy Fest and was the winner of the Andy Kaufman Award.

Linette Palladino, another Garden State native, recently beat out hundreds of comics to make it to the final four of the HBO Latino Stand-up Competition.

Rich Aronovitch is the Tasmanian devil of comedy. His rapid style leaves rooms laughing so hard that no one can pinpoint what happened, they just know they loved it. Rich has been seen on WE network, the Playboy Channel, The Tonight Show with Jay Leno and heard all over Sirius XM radio.

Joe Larson

Joe is a comedian, husband and father – the former makes the latter well….interesting.

When Joe met his now wife she loved how much he made her laugh. He warned her that while she finds it cute now, she may feel differently when he is unable to do anything but joke during the heat of an argument. As his wife eventually found out “you’re funny all the time!” can quickly turn into “Does everything have to be a joke?”

Perhaps it’s not his fault, Joe is after all a second generation comedian. Much to his parent’s dismay at the age of twenty, Joe went into the family business. Straight away he was chosen College Comedian of the Year at the Las Vegas Comedy Festival and shortly after he made the move to New York City where he paid his dues at any club that would give him the mic.

Joe has been on stage at some of the best rooms in the city including the famed Caroline’s On Broadway and Gotham Comedy Club. He was nominated “Best Up-And-Coming Comedian” at the NYC MAC Awards, was a finalist in both the prestigious Johnny Carson Great American Comedy Festival and Boston Comedy Festival and was part of the feature film Stand Up 360. Joe has also been seen on Gotham Comedy Live, NBC’s “America’s Got Talent,” “Laughs” on FOX, the Tonight Show’s Laugh Squad and the Speed Channel. On radio he is a repeat guest on Bob and Tom and the Bennington Show.

Pre-pandemic Joe Larson had one of the hottest shows in Brooklyn. Sold out each time to standing room only, his show “Couleur Comedy” was a huge success. It brought together the hottest up-and-coming comedians with established pros for a dynamic and exciting evening. Now, a South Orange resident, Joe is bringing his show to SOPAC.
