Carole Montgomery Comedy Special "Women of a Certain Age" Comes to BMCC Tribeca Performing Arts Center
New York, NY, October 12, 2022 --(PR.com)-- BMCC Tribeca Performing Arts Center, the longest operating performance venue in lower Manhattan, proudly presents Carole Montgomery “Women of a Certain Age” on Saturday, October 29 at 8:00PM. Carole Montgomery will be joined by fellow comedians Linette Palladino, Jessica Miranda, and Nancy Parker.
What began as a way to work with her friends has exploded on the comedy scene. When Carole (a veteran of the stand up scene for over 40 years) started, you would never see two female comics on the same show. Fast forward to today’s comedy scene and nothing has changed, even though there are way more women in comedy.
The first TV special for the Showtime Network featured Fran Drescher, Carole Montgomery, Luenell, Lynne Koplitz, Vanessa Hollingshead and Kerri Louise. The special premiered March 23, 2019 and made history. It was the only TV comedy special that featured all women over 50 years old. In fact, the special was the network’s highest rated premiere of a stand up show for 2019.

Linette Palladino’s comedy draws on her life as a mom, wife and veteran. From Iceland to Hong Kong, and for the troops in Iraq, Linette has seen it all. She was one of five nationwide finalists in the HBO Latino Stand-up Competition, wepaaaa! And, most recently, she earned the top block as Jersey's Funniest Female. Jessica Miranda won first place on the Comedy Therapy Invitational, a month-long competition that began with 64 comedians and came down to Jessica as the winner in April 2021. Jessica has also performed at The Atlantic City Comedy Club at the Celebrity Theater, Valley Forge Casino Resort in PA, at the Venue and the Vault, Comix Roadhouse at Mohegan Sun in CT and in some of the hottest clubs across NYC.
