New Jersey Performing Arts Center, known for bringing world-class entertainment close to home, presents three-time Emmy Award-nominated writer, director, producer, and standup comedian Neal Brennan on Friday, July 22 at 7 PM.
Brennan has become a force in the comedy world. Neal has found success in almost every creative vein in the comedy landscape, an across-the-board talent. He has collaborated with the top writers and skills in the business and worked on several popular shows in various capacities. If there is a comedy that audiences are responding to, Neal is often somewhere to be found.
Neal’s second one-person show Neal Brennan: Unacceptable opened in previews for a six-week run in New York City. In the show, directed by Artist/Magician Derek Delguadio (In & Of Itself), Brennan meticulously examines his defects, attempting to understand his baffling inability to fit into a group and the alienation that comes along with it.
Due to popular demand, Unacceptable’s run was causing The New Yorker to laud “Brennan is sharp and entertainingly droll, with a deliberate pacing-he appears to walk in slow motion-that is very effective.”
Neal’s critically acclaimed first off-Broadway one-person show 3 Mics, also enjoyed a sold-out NYC run with superstar musician John Legend serving as Producer.
3 Mics, taped as a standup special, premiered on Netflix in 2017, with Paste Magazine offering, “It will floor you in the best way possible.” In a break from traditional standup comedy, 3 Mics sees Brennan alternating between three separate microphones: one for conventional standup, one for one-liners, and one for short confessional monologues covering everything from managing his depression to his complicated relationship with his father.
Tickets to see Neal Brennan go on-sale Friday, April 22 at 10am. and can be purchased by visiting NJPAC.org or calling 888.GO.NJPAC (888.466.5722) or by visiting the NJPAC Box Office.
