Comedy with a Cause!
The One & Only Elayne Boosler to Offer
Rare NYC Performances in March & April,
Benefitting Animal Rescue & Advocacy
From performing for President Clinton, the NY Mets, and the
Queen of England, to being credited as the comedian who
opened the door for female standups on cable TV, in March
and April, comedian, writer & animal activist Elayne
Boosler will
bring her one-of-a-kind wit back home with two rare NYC
performances on Saturday,
March 29 at 9pm and Friday,
April 18 at 9pm at STAGE
72 (158 West
72nd Street).
Known for her thoughtful & feisty political humor and her
love of animals, every show she performs also serves to
rescue animals in the city in which she is appearing, with
all after show merchandise sold 100% for the benefit of
local rescue organizations. So come and laugh, meet some of
the best local rescuers after the show, maybe even buy
something wonderful and save a life!
Coming back to New York, where it all started for Elayne and
her incredible group of peers in the early '70's, she is the
one true keeper of the hilarious stories of those days. All
featured in her upcoming book, "Big Fun", they are the
funniest of adventures, featuring Andy Kaufman, Richard
Belzer, Freddie Prinze, Jay Leno, Richard Lewis, Larry
David, Richard Pryor, Lily Tomlin, Rodney Dangerfield, and
so many more. Her show is the best of up to the minute,
smart, political, thoughtful and uproarious standup comedy,
but she does sprinkle in some of the funniest stories never
before told.
During her 40 year career, Elayne has written and starred in
five one-hour Showtime standup comedy specials, written and
directed two movies for Cinemax, appeared on Comic Relief
for years, on Politically Incorrect over thirty times, and
has hosted numerous other specials, series, and events.
She's traveled the world doing standup from Las Vegas to the
London Palladium to the White House Press Correspondent's
Dinner for President Clinton, and she has performed for the
Queen of England as well as the President and Congress at
Ford's Theater. She moderated the Democratic Presidential
Candidates Debate on C-Span for NOW, and is very active in
animal protection issues. She still travels the country
performing scores of shows a year.
Elayne has been involved in hands-on animal rescue and
advocacy since 1996, and in 2001 founded, and runs, her own
nationwide and beyond, all-species animal rescue and
advocacy non-profit organization, Tails
of Joy

Tails of Joy has saved thousands of animals, made life
better for thousands more, and advocates for better
treatment of all animals throughout the world.
