'Not Your Mother's Black Box' at Villagers Theatre

It's a night of music and standup comedy at The Villagers Theater this Saturday, but be warned: This is Not Your Mother's Black Box show.

Valerie DiMambro, Ryan Houssein and Ty Raney highlight the evening, a one-night affair that begins at 8 p.m. The show begins with an acoustic musical performance by Uncle Funk. Host and emcee for the evening is Dan Bocchino. All seats cost $15; wine and cheese will be available before the show.

All proceeds will go toward the Villagers' General Operating fund for the upkeep of our facility. 

Bocchino has been performing stand-up, sketch and improv comedy in various forms for more than 10 years. What began as a five-minute open-mike spot in the back room of a small bar in Bloomfield, has blossomed into 10-minute spots in clubs just outside of Bloomfield, across New Jersey, and in New York and Boston.

In addition to his solo stand-up work, Bocchino was a founding member of the Boston-based sketch comedy troupe Slow Children at Play and a former member of the Montclair improv group Lunatic Fringe.

He is also an avid playwright, having written and produced one-act shows at festivals in both New York and New Jersey. He lives in New Jersey with his wife, son, and middle-aged shih tzu.
