A big hello and a very warm welcome back from the curator of Lucy’s Comedy. John Da Cosse for the start of the 2021 Season at the Raue Center in downtown Crystal Lake! This is our 14th year where we present a night of Stand-up Comedy on the Raue stage.
I have been performing for 40 years producing this show for the last 10, and the opening of Lucy’s Comedy series this year means more than any other. Since we have all been staying home and following safety guidelines we have tried to bring Lucy’s to you in one form or another, but this will be the first Lucy’s in over 2 years to be performed the way it was meant to be enjoyed.
The first show brings Headliner Doctor Bill Miller to our stage, an actual doctor who has been performing stand-up longer than I have, he started in LA working both The Improv and the famous Comedy Store with the likes of Jerry Seinfeld, Robin Williams, and Richard Pryor. Recently his humorous YouTube rant on how the medical community is dealing with the pandemic reached some 3 million views. I thought this was a great way to say thanks for his service and start our new season.
Hari Roi will be performing as the feature act and some of you may have already watched Hari when he performed on one of our live stream shows. The host, Ted Willson, is one of my favorites! Ted has featured and hosted many times over the last few years and ALWAYS blows me away with his non-stop writing and smooth delivery. So welcome back to each and everyone and as they say, “Laughter is the best medicine“ so what better prescription than a night at Lucy’s Comedy!
