Empire City Casino Brings Stars on the Rise with “New Talent Night” Comedy Show Hosted by Joe DeVito

from Diego Isio

Comedy aficionados can catch stars on the rise when Joe DeVito hosts “New Talent Night” on Wednesday, April 16, at Empire City Casino (810 Yonkers Avenue, Yonkers, NY 10704; 914-968-4200).

Numerous up-and-coming comics will provide the laughs. DeVito will add to the hilarity while hosting the proceedings.

Doors open at 7:00 pm and the show will start at 8:00 pm. Tickets are $5 for Empire Club Members while non-members pay $25. Elite Members are able to attend the show for free. All attendees will receive one free drink ticket.

DeVito has the power to start fires using his mind, and he also does standup comedy. Whether talking about relationships, his Italian-American family, or current events, Joe's dead-on timing, unexpected twists and sheer flights of lunacy make him a favorite at clubs and colleges across the country and at the top venues in New York City.

After spending a decade as a journalist and advertising writer, Joe gave into his coworker's demands to try performing so he could find fame, while they finally got some work done. In 2006, he was invited to the prestigious Just for Laughs Festival in Canada, where the Montreal Gazette rated his performance "9.5 out of 10."

Joe's TV appearances include The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson on CBS, Comedy Central's Live at Gotham, and a semi-finalist turn on season five of NBC's Last Comic Standing. His savage wit has also made him an in-demand panelist on shows like Chelsea Lately, CNN's Headline News, Animal Planet's Wild 100, and a regular guest on FOX News Channel's Red Eye. As a writer, Joe has contributed to Maxim Magazine, MTV, and the award-winning film Super Size Me. (from )
