HOT JAVA COFFEEHOUSE CELEBRATES 4 YEARS OF  

LAUGH-A-LATTE!! 

   

Carlease, Sergio and Ken 4th anniversary cake

4th annivesary cake, bird in the hand

Here's our traditional photo of a picture of a cake within a picture of a cake on a picture of a cake. This year, Diane at Rossmorr Bakery added A Bird in a Hand in her design. Really. 


It's been four years since the brewing of the first cup of Laugh-A-Latte. Every third Saturday of the month (except May), comics and audience members have gathered at Hot Java Coffeehouse to share in the gift of laughter.    

 

Laugh-A-Latte 4th anniversary 

  

 An always versatile gourmet blend of comedians, from first timers to veterans from LOGO and Comedy Central, perform to a robust standing room only crowd. There's never a cover charge, fans are just asked to support the venue by purchasing a cup of coffee, a pastry or a sandwich.

 

Tom 

One of the highlights of Laugh-A-Latte is Tom "Hot Fingers" O'Malley, our resident sign language interpreter.  Our faithful Deaf fans are a welcomed addition to one of the most diverse comedy rooms in town. Rumor has it some hearing audience members come just to watch Hot Fingers in action!

    

 

Laugh-A-Latte is produced and hosted by Carlease! an actress/comic currently seen in the GEICO A Bird In The Hand commercial as well as TV shows and films such as Shameless, In Her Shoes and The Back Up Plan.  She travels and hosts on cruise ships and Pride Festivals all over the country.

Come see for yourself!

Stage Mom   


Dear Stage Mom,

I have been a fan of Laugh-A-Latte since its inception and I keep showing up in May but there is no show. I get my beverage anyway, surf the net and chat with the locals. Why do you skip that month?
~ Latte with no laughs

   
Dear Latte w/o Laughs,
'Cause a sista needs a vacation.

Seriously, there has never been a show in May out of respect for Long Beach Pride. The third weekend in May belongs to LBLG Inc.!!

Email your questions about acting, comedy, solo show production or any aspect of show business to bitsnpieces@verizon.net and I'll answer them in the next month's Ask Stage Mom.
