In His Own Lane

Comic Richie Redding kept the Funny Bone audience in stitches as he touched on current topics, this that and the third.

Comic Richie Redding kept the Funny Bone audience in stitches as he touched on current topics, this that and the third.

On our first visit to the Syracuse Funny Bone Comedy Club we were pleased to meet NYC comic Richie Redding.  Don’t let his Ivy League education fool you, this ten-plus year comedy vet can write a joke that will make you bust your gut.  From his intro shout-out for Butternut Street to subjects such as PMS and music downloads, Redding kept the audience and servers howling with laughter.

Redding was preceded on stage by Dan Frigolette and host Anna Phillips. He will return to NYC for some gigs before heading out to shows in Arizona.

Hopefully he can return soon to Syracuse. For now, most people who saw Redding’s act on Thursday will never look at their thumbs the same again.

US Navy veteran-turned housing visionary Robert Van Keuren, who flew over 200 combat missions in the Vietnam War, gave a speech and officially opened the Van Keuren Housing Complex last week.  He reminded the crowd that many of our veterans have been left unsheltered, and not necessarily homeless, since our country will always be their home.
