Comedy Club Political Candidate Fundraiser—
Candidates Comedy Night 2011 at Pittsburgh Improv, Thursday, Aug 18, 2011
Allegheny County Music Festival Fund which has provided more than 2,000 at risk children with services and opportunities not provided by government funding.
This night was for a “live-In’ summer camp for at risk young persons for healthy activities outside of their neighborhoods.
My favorites, Allegheny County Contriller, Rep. Chelsa Wagner
Raja—who knew also that either were so funny.
Anne Covey who is running for Commonwealth Court Judge just mighthave a second profession, no notes, perfect timing and extremely funny.
Gene Collier, the only “professional” comic in the crowd was the only one whose language kept the entire evening from being totally family friendly entertainment. Thank Goodness none of the political figures who did stand up thought they had to rever to working blue. And once again it proves that politics can be funny.
India Garden in Oakland, Atwood St.
50% off from 9 PM to 11 PM
Chicken briani and spinach with Indian cheese which I will not attempt to pronounce
