"THE ROCK ALBERS SHOW: AN EVENING OF COMEDY AND SONGS" RETURNS

ROCK ROCKS AT DON'T TELL MAMA IN OCTOBER

Rock Albers, the eccentric comedian, known for performing in rabbit ears, is giving four encore performances of "The Rock Albers Show: An Evening of Comedy and Songs" at DON'T TELL MAMA (343 West 46th Street, NYC - 212-757-0788 - http://www.donttellmama.com/) on Saturdays, October 6th and 27th at 5:30 pm and Tuesdays, October 16th and 23rd at 7:00 pm.

Hailed by Chip Deffaa of the NEW YORK POST as "never afraid to tackle the tough issues," Albers rants about a variety of subjects that other stand-up comics don't talk about, including state birds, national flags, "I Love Lucy," English chocolate and "The Berenstain Bears." He also sings parody songs about American icons such as Martha Stewart, Janet Reno and Donald Trump.

Albers' rabbit ears provide an amusing contrast to the Brooks Brother suit he wears during his act. "My rabbit ears are magical," he says. "When people see me in bunny ears, it tells them that this guy is outrageous and invites them to enter my bizarre world."

After performances Albers, in his ears and bunny tail, goes to Joe Allen's Restaurant, which is known for attracting Broadway actors after their shows. "I get more attention than any star," boasts Albers. "I can't tell you how many women have given me their cards. They love my tail."

Albers has performed in all of the major New York comedy clubs including CAROLINES, STAND-UP NEW YORK, GOTHAM, COMIC STRIP, COMEDY CELLAR and THE BOSTON COMEDY CLUB. He was recently a guest on "The Next Big Thing," the Sunday morning show on WNYC-FM, the National Public Radio station in New York, and he has also been seen on New York 1 News as well as MTV.

The show's musical director is Dick Gallagher, who composed the music for the hit Off-Broadway show, "When Pigs Fly," which played in New York for two years. As a musical director, Gallagher has worked with singers including Patti LuPone and has received a record seven Manhattan Association of Cabaret Awards for musical direction.

The show is directed by award winning director and writer Stephen Rosenfield who has directed at The Roundabout Theatre, The Ensemble Studio Theatre, The Actor's Studio and is the Director of the American Comedy Institute and the Stand-up Comedy Experience.

There is no cover for the show, and there is a 2-drink minimum. Reservations are highly recommended - the shows usually sell out days before the performance.
