Just a Jersey Guy and Son

A Night of Comedic Storytelling from Father/Son Duo - May 14th at 7:30 - Ciccone Theatre at Bergen Community College

(Dan Altano)

On May 14, 2022, Brian Altano, the Raconteur of the Garden State, returns to the Anna Maria Ciccone Theatre in Paramus, NJ for a night of comedy and storytelling. Altano will be accompanied by his son Dan, a nationally touring standup comedian.

Brian’s darkly comedic “The 7 Reasons I’m Going to Hell,” touches on transgression and retribution in stories featuring his own personal foibles as well as the shared experiences of colorful Jersey characters. Dan’s story, “Grow Up” tackles the stumbles, falls, and small triumphs of adulthood while trying to maintain your sanity and a sense of humor.
