Ray Combs & Florida Comedy Club Presents:

FCC Comedy Show #65 Esther Ku, Theresa Carissimi, Alan Shuman & Perry Sak

Host: Perry Sak

A Boston Native, Perry's life story explains why his comedy is here to stay!

Headliner: Esther Ku

Esther Ku is a comedian, actress and musician but mostly comedian because that’s what she told me to write first. I am her stenographer. (Not really, but she wants you to think she has a stenographer because she doesn’t want you to think she wrote her own bio.) In 2008, Ku was selected as the only female comedian from New York City to advance to the Las Vegas Semi-Finals in NBC’s Last Comic Standing. In Vegas, she advanced to the house portion of the reality show to become a Last Comic Standing Season 6 Finalist where she annoyed the hell out of everybody with her laugh. (I told her not to laugh so loudly but she doesn’t listen to me I’m just her stenographer. I hate it when she treats me this way.) Six months later, she was selected by Howard Stern as a finalist in the Hottest Funniest Chick Contest on Sirius Satellite Radio. She has been a featured regular in the Boston International Comedy Festival and the New York Underground Comedy Festival. She has performed in the hit comedy Shear Madness, the longest-running non-musical play in American theatre history. On her spare time, she manages to dedicate her energy to a serious and troublesome cause — to end tickling forever. “Tickling is forcing someone to laugh when you’re not being funny. Tickling is the opposite of comedy. If you’ve ever tickled anyone, you’re a fraud!” she warns.. Ku officially began her stand-up career in Boston where she shared the stage with Doug Stanhope, Steven Wright, Jonathan Katz, and Teddy Bergeron. For a hot second the team Ku and the Jew ruled the club

Feature: Theresa Carrissimi

Dr. Carissimi by day and Foul Mouth Italian on the Evening Stage...Look out "She will Crack You Up" Theresa was a Finalist in the 2011 Florida's Funniest Competition.

Feature: Alan Shuman

Alan Shuman, born in Boston near the end of the Vietnam War and educated in the mean streets of Newton MA, has been marching inexorably towards comedic stardom since he was able to toddle forward. His path was inevitable though predictably circuitous, and lacking the sufficient body fat to endure New England winters, he headed for Florida.

Comedy was always the destination and the journey included several independent films, an improv troupe called "Improv Export Co.", two internet radio programs ("In the Mix" and "The Anything Bucket"), an internet TV program called "The Asylum" and ultimately stand-up at The Improvs in Palm Beach, Ft. Lauderdale and Miami, as well as numerous other comedy clubs throughout South Florida.

Alan is truly fearless. He has jumped out of an airplane, broken the speed of sound in his Lincoln, and will attempt to eat a vegetable in the near future!
