Three months ago, Wilmington witnessed a comedic clash that left the Port City shaken to its very foundation
with laughter. Pineapple-Shaped Lamps, Wilmington’s premiere sketch comedy troupe, sought out their
downtown rivals the Nutt House, those improvisers extraordinaire, in a Comedy Cage Match for the ages.
Through laughter and tears, audience suggestions and final drafts, the two troupes fought tooth and nail for the
title of Best Comedy Group Ever. After the dust had cleared, Nutt House stood victorious. With respect and
mutual admiration, Pineapple-Shaped Lamps left the hollows of the Nutt Street Comedy Room to retreat to the
safety of their Writers’ Room.
But winter is over. Summer has come. After taking a pilgrimage to the holy land of comedy, Chicago, Illinois,
Pineapple-Shaped Lamps has returned with a vengeance. With fresh script, sharpened wits, and a whole lot of
spunk, Pineapple-Shaped Lamps has demanded a rematch and Nutt House has accepted. But this time, the
game is different. Rules change. The Nutt House Improv Team will be forced to leave their Front Street Hobbit
Hole and seek Pineapple-Shaped Lamps on their own turf. Past the 5th Street roundabout, beyond the Cape
Fear Museum, in the land of 10th and Dock, lays TheatreNOW. The mammoth yellow castle of theatre has
taken PSL in and there, they have fortified their ranks. Their new sketch series, PSL Presents, has sent waves
of laughter into the Wilmington night and now…now, they are ready to rumble.
COMEDY CAGE MATCH: ROUND TWO! rocks the TheatreNOW House on May 25th on the corner of 10th
and Dock. Tickets are $5. Doors open at 9:00pm with a 9:30pm curtain. Nutt House will perform their improv
games, and PSL will perform their sketches. But only YOU can decide the outcome.

Joe’s completely autobiographical act pokes fun at his subtly dysfunctional Italian family, his own neuroses, life with a five year old, and a baby daughter, and his marriage to a psychologist (his perfect match). After 20 years of failed relationships, his main objective is fixing Joe – he has to if he wants this relationship to work. Joe’s talent for turning real life struggles into comedic gems quickly landed him appearances on the most sought after TV and radio shows including Chelsea Lately (which he does monthly), The Late Show with David Letterman, The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson, Comedy Central Presents (his very own 1/2 hour special), Comedy.TV, AX’s TV’s Gotham Live, Nick Mom’s Night Out, The Howard Stern Show and Breuer Unleashed on Sirius Satellite Radio, Howard On Demand, The Late Late Show with Craig Kilborn, and Comedy Central’s Premium Blend. You may also recognize him from Bravo’s reality series Better Half where he teaches his wife to perform standup and she brings home the $20,000 prize. Joe has also hit the stage four times at the prestigious Montreal Comedy Festival, leading to two development deals with major television networks. Joe’s acting resume also recently grew when he landed a guest starring role on IFC’s Zrock playing “Cliff Brenner” an annoying yuppie with a pet bulldog, and a stand out performance in Howard TV’s hit show “Show In The Hallway” playing a cop who becomes obsessed with Robin Quivers. He also has a very successful podcast called Fixing Joe where he turns the tables on self help and talk radio by asking his celebrity guests, listeners, and friends and family to help him on every episode. His hit comedic podcast aims to help others as Joe helps himself.  Check him out live – within minutes you will feel like your life is perfect!
