Funny Business with Rick Shapiro & Terry McNeely

Any working NYC comedian has a Rick Shapiro story due to his eccentricities. On stage, Rick’s act is an intense, borderline insane observational view about today's society. He is known for putting on 2 hour long shows in small NYC rooms. It takes an open mind to walk the path of Rick’s perspective – especially with his diverse history. After suffering a sever head injury causing complete amnesia, we are pleased to see him on stage and in great health.

 

For many years, Shapiro was a staple of the NYC and LA Underground Comedy Scene. His life story is featured in "GIVE IT UP," a book by McCarthy award-winning author Adrian LeBlanc, which will be published by Random House this fall. March, 2012 Rick made his big screen debut in WB’s feature film release of ‘PROJECT X’. Rick’s first book ‘UNFILTERED’ was recently published as well as his long anticipated second CD (taped in 2009) was released March 20th – CATALYST FOR CHANGE.

 

Long Island born and raised, Terry McNeely could easily earn the title of “Crass Critic to the Suburban World.” Terry summarizes his childhood with salty, cutting interactions experienced while living with his ornery, basketball coaching dad. Immediately out of adolescence he embraced the streets of Queens as his second home. McNeely finds his comfort zone on stage discussing his bitter disgust for women and married life while mocking husbands everywhere. He commands the stage with a hostile, offensive wit nothing short of Colin Quinn or Dennis Leary. It’s certainly no surprise that the acid humor of Terry McNeely has him rising up the ranks of comedy in leaps and bounds.
