1.) It’s good, safe, entertainment for ALL of your guests:
Think about the guest list before you consider hiring a stripper (over a stand up comedian) at your bachelor party. Your new father-in-law, your new brothers-in-law, her uncles, cousins, etc. Remember. You not only marry the girl, you marry the family.
Think of the impact that hiring a stripper could have on your new family. I can tell you for a fact that most fathers of the bride will be offended at your even entertaining the thought. They may not say anything, but I’ve been to more than one bachelor party where the father-in-law to be has walked out as the stripper was entering the room. And don’t think your bride to be will be all that thrilled with the prospect of a stripper at the most important party of your single life.
Hiring a comedian will alleviate all of that. Unless the comedian also happens to be a stripper.
2.) You don’t have to tip a stand up comedian.
Stand up comedians will gladly accept your tip, but you don’t have to stuff crumpled dollar bills in their underwear, unless you really want to. You’ll save money hiring a stand up comedian at your bachelor party. That’s important, especially if you want to raise some money for the groom.
3.) It doesn’t matter if you get an ugly stand up comedian.
Close your eyes and pretend you’re already at the bachelor party. Now picture the door to the venue opening and in walks the ugliest woman you have ever seen. It’s not your mother in law. It’s your dancer.
When you call a talent agency and request a stripper, no one is going to tell you that the girl they’re sending out is ugly. It’s a 50/50 shot. She may be gorgeous, she may be ugly. When a stand up comedian walks into the room, it doesn’t matter if he’s ugly or not. He just has to be funny.
2.) Strippers tell awful jokes.
It’s true. There’s only so many “A guy walks into a whore house” jokes that you can stomach.
1.) The boobs on your stand up comedian will be real
If you’re interested in hiring a funny stand up comedian for your bachelor party, call us at Ocean State Talent right now at (401) 301-5329. We’ll handle everything.
I’m forming an elite group of women called, The RI GIRLS and currently working on the website, RIGirls.net
Why?
For years, Rhode Islanders have been forced to listen to that Beach Boys song praising California Girls as “the cutest girls in the world” and frankly, I’m pretty sick of it.
In fact, I can PROVE RI women are the hottest in the country.

Currently Rhode Island is represented by just one woman-Miss Rhode Island. I have no personal problem with Miss Rhode Island but I think it’s a very politically run event and there are WAY more women deserving of the title.
I’m looking to form a group of GORGEOUS RI GIRLS to represent the state in a manner that is deserving of the beautiful state we call Rhode Island.
If you’re interested in becoming one of The RI Girls, please send me an email, or join the Facebook Group. Please include at least 5 awesome pics of yourself (with at least 2 of them being full body shots)
I’ll be selecting RI Girls with the help of my staff, my wife and the fans that keep coming on-board everyday.
I plan on nightclub events, RI Girls swag, contests and lots of other things.
Show your pride in RI and join The RI Girls today!

On March 31, local celebrities and politicians will get the chance to repay a local comedy legend for all his swipes at them over the past 20 years with PAYBACK: THE ROAST OF CHARLIE HALL.
“It’s a show that’s been 20 years in the making,” says comedian Rockin’ Joe Hebert, who’s co-producing the show at Catch A Rising Star Comedy Club. “Charlie’s had his fun with a lot of people all these years. This is their chance for some payback.”
Hall recently retired his award-winning comedy cabaret, THE OCEAN STATE FOLLIES, which skewered just about everyone in and around the news. Among those scheduled to appear on the dais:
• Channel 10 news anchor Gene Valicenti
• Patty Nolin and Bethany Lynn Giammarco, both veterans of OSF
• Local comedians Ace Aceto & Rick Beretta
• Colonel Steven G. O’Donnell, who worked for Hall over 30 years ago
• Local drag goddess Kitty Litter
• Local magician Bruce Kalver
• And more!
“We’ve got some surprises lined up for Charlie,” says co-producer Frank O’Donnell, who will act as the show’s emcee. “It’s going to be a great night.”
Anyone interested in joining the roasters on the dais can contact O’Donnell directly at frankocomedy@cox.net.
As part of the evening’s festivities, Hall will be honored as the first inductee into the newly-created Rhode Island Comedy Hall of Fame . “No one’s had more of an impact on Rhode Island comedy than Charlie Hall,” says Hebert. “From helping to create Periwinkles, Rhode Island’s premiere comedy club, to creating the Ocean State Follies, Charlie has done it all. It’s fitting that he’s our first inductee.”
PAYBACK: THE ROAST OF CHARLIE HALL starts at 7:30 at Catch A Rising Star Comedy Club, inside Twin River Casino in Lincoln. Tickets are $30. Partial proceeds from the evening will go to Hall’s charity of choice, the Station Fire Memorial Fund.
“I’m not used to being on the receiving end,” says Hall. “I think I’m a little afraid.”
The newly formed Rhode Island Comedy Hall of Fame is preparing to roast RI’s best known and beloved comedian, Charlie Hall.
You may know Charlie Hall from his 20 year run as creator and star of The Ocean State Follies, or maybe as the author of the Rhode Island state song, but every stand up comedian who has ever perspired on a comedy stage in RI has Charlie to thank for bringing the art of stand up comedy to the Ocean State.
Join Charlie Hall, Rockin’ Joe Hebert, Frank O’Donnell and a whole dais of crazies as they roast Charlie Hall, Rhode Island Style. This ain’t no clambake.
The roast will take place on Saturday, March 31, 2012 at Catch a Rising Star at Twin River, Lincoln RI. Tickets are $30 and a portion of the proceeds will go to The Station Fire Memorial Fund.
