Événement

6/2 @ 8:00 - Al Lubel

Al Lubel became a lawyer to satisfy his mother. Then he became a
comedian to satisfy his need to torture her.

Al practiced law during the day and comedy at night. Getting stage time is hard for a new comic, so Al took decided to take matters into his own hands by unannounced, suddenly standing up in the middle of Dennys restaurants and doing five minutes. Al gradually began getting work at comedy clubs and within a year he won the $100,000 Comedy Grand Prize on Star Search.

Doing the Tonight Show was a childhood fantasy, so Al auditioned and became one of the last comics to appear with Johnny Carson. He went on to make six more appearances with Jay Leno and five appearances on the Late Show with David Letterman.

Al has played an attorney on the Blake Clark HBO Comedy Hour and has been featured in the Showtime and PBS special, A Standup Life. He has also played played Bill Waltons sidekick in the the ESPN series, Bill Waltons Long Strange Trip.

Hes performed all over the world, from Beijing to Broadway. Als solo show, Al Alone, won the Amused Moose Award Judges Prize as the best one person show in the 2013 Edinburgh Fringe Festival. Two years later he was nominated for best performer of a solo show by the Barry Awards at the
2015 Edinburgh Fringe Festival.

In March 2016, Al was Marc Marons guest on WTF with Marc Maron.
But Al does admit to missing the practice of law. He says, Id like to have just one more trial, something serious like a murder trial because right before I give my closing argument and my clients fate hinges on each and every word I say I want to see his face when I turn to him and whisper, Im a comedian!
