Comedy at the Governor's this weekend

ROCHESTER – On Saturday, Nov. 6 three of Boston ’s best comics will bring back the laughs to Lillac City’s own dinner stage at The Governor’s Inn .
Carolyn Plummer will get the evening going. God help us. Some comics rely on the monumental events of the day or the faux pas of the rich and famous. Not Carolyn. Carolyn pulls material from the hum-drum, day-to-day monotony of the life of everyman. And she does it well. To Carolyn the monumental is easy … to her it’s our very existence that is hard, to the point of being ridiculous. Some women look in the mirror and complain because they aren’t pretty enough, not rich enough, not young enough. Carolyn gives her reflection the finger. The third child of a Congregational Minister and a home maker mother, Plummer says she should be aloof but instead she is clueless!

‘C.P.’ Carolyn learned early on that she could lament or she could make fun. See her once and you’ll quickly figure out which path she chose. And you’ll laugh. Possessing an uncanny ability to introspectively pull from places most of us hide, Carolyn puts a nail through the heart of whiners, self-loathers and the self-sorry of the world and makes the average seem hilarious and larger than life. Most of all, Carolyn’s twisted perception of our common existence leaves audiences hysterically shaking heads in agreement with her assessment that the world is indeed a very funny place.

Also on stage on Saturday, Nov. 6 at The Governor’s Inn will be comedy superstar Corey Manning – the evening’s headliner - a regular host of Boston Comedy Jams, and has been a semi-finalist in the Boston Comedy Festival, and, interestingly enough, is the first comedian to be certified as an artist by the City of Boston . He has also hosted celebrity fundraisers featuring NFL and NBA players, National Recording Artists, and Actors. In 2006 Corey was featured in Jamie Foxx’s ‘LAFFAPALOOZA! … The New Faces of Comedy’. More recently, he's been a contestant in the Bay Area Black Comedy Competition and Festival, and had a very successful début of his one-man play ‘Confessions of a Blackman.’

Prior to his comedy work in Boston , Corey graduated from North Carolina Central University , with a major in Theatre. You can regularly catch Corey on "Wake Up!!
