T’was four nights before Christmas and laughter could be heard coming out of the theater at Jazz Central. The intimate music spot became a venue for some down-home laughs (and occasional snorts) last night.

Hoboken’s Dan Frigolette (graduate of Baldwinsville High) put together another joke fest this year, featuring Anna Phillips, and Syracuse natives Jessimae Peluso and newcomer T. Blunt (who served as the MC).  There were two sets for the Friday show.

The laughs were punctated by stories about Hip Hop, relationships, parties and pet dogs.

Amy Carlson, who lives in New Rochelle, wrote a poem about Syracuse, want to hear it, here it goes.

Last lady standing: Jessiemae Peluso performs at Justin's Grill

Along with homeboys Dan Frigolette (Baldwinsville High grad) and Moody McCarthy (Corcoran High grad),  Jessimae Peluso (Henniger High grad) turned the Friday before Christmas at Justin’s Grill into a laugh factory.

I saw Frigolette and McCarthy when the visited for a show last year and again they delivered laughs from the moment they hit the stages.  This was the first time I’d seen Peluso, as well as the MC Yannis Pappas however, and they were comical.  I particularly enjoyed when they each hurled hilarious verbal assaults at a lone (female) heckler to the delight of the packed crowd.

Some of  humorous anecdotes also included Peluso calling Match.com her new meal plan and McCarthy’s revelation  on the availability of real fruit cobbler(s).
