Jackie Mason, Appearing at the Ridgefield Playhouse on October 18 Before Hitting the Great White Way

Ridgefield, CT, October 12, 2007 --(PR.com)-- Legendary Comedian Jackie Mason to headline at The Ridgefield Playhouse

Jackie Mason is a one-of-a-kind performer that emerges so brilliantly that he becomes the standard to whom all others are compared. He is widely regarded as one of the greatest stand-up comics of all time. And, why not? His one-liners are as funny as they are on the mark. Politically incorrect, his routines often provoke controversy. While he usually performs in front of huge audiences, you can hear all of his witty observations when Mr. Mason takes the stage at The Ridgefield Playhouse for Movies and the Performing Arts on Thursday, October 18 at 8 p.m. as part of the Bruce Bennett Nissan Comedy Series. Lonnie Shapiro of Prudential Connecticut Realty is underwriting the show.

Long passionate about politics, Jackie Mason is well known for his tough and outspoken positions on a variety of issues—no one or nobody is safe. He hosts a national live call-in show on the Comcast network and hosted a nationally syndicated radio talk show with his friend and collaborator, Raoul Lionel Felder.
