Dennis Rooney served as the host of the event, and Katie Hannigan (who has appeared on MTV) was able to warm up The Brokerage stage with her clever and witty comedic set, which was well-received by all.
As Rob Falcone took the stage, he pointed to his face and noted that it always gets his “out of jury duty.” “I’ve never spent a day on jury duty,” he admitted. He also discussed his experiences trying to quit smoking, and driving through New Jersey, where he felt like a bird with one wing, especially since one can’t make a left turn anywhere in New Jersey (the only left turn possible is in Pennsylvania).
Equally hysterical were Falcone talking about deer crossing signs, and purchasing a GPS at a dollar store, which would only get him “close” to his chosen location. Speaking of Dollar Tree, he dubbed it as the “Saks Fifth Avenue of the Dollar Stores,” and rightfully so, since everything there is exactly one buck, unlike other dollar stores where the price would exceed a dollar bill.
Falcone also opened up about how society is obsessed with technology and everybody is glued to their phones, especially children (where everybody at McDonald’s is quiet since they are immersed in their electronics). His jokes about his days as a hippie, Groundhog’s Day, relationships and tolls, as well as antique stores were all an added bonus. He even performed his cameo scene from an episode of the fifth season of The Sopranos for the Long Island crowd.
The Verdict
Overall, Rob Falcone was exceptional at the Governor’s Comedy Club at The Brokerage in Bellmore. Falcone was a natural talent, and the creativity and execution of his jokes were top-notch throughout the night. Many audience members laughed so hard to the point where they were almost in tears. Falcone is worth seeing live whenever he performs in the area. His live comedic set at Governor’s Comedy Club earned an A+ rating. Bravo.
