For Jennifer Dziura, stand-up comedy is no joke.
After three years of running “Monday Night Stand-Up,” a live comedy show at Pete’s Candy Store in Williamsburg, she’s reaching even more neighborhoods through television. Now, every Tuesday at midnight the show will air on BCAT.
“I also like to bring comedy to people with no arms and legs,” said Dziura. “People who can’t make it to Pete’s.”
Each 28-minute episode is filmed live at Pete’s Candy Store and then edited for content and continuity, which means there is a months-long lag between the shows and the broadcast. However, Dziura (pictured) said it’s worth it.
“I tour nationally as a comedian and do play regular comedy clubs,” said Dziura, “but if I am in the Chuckle Hut or the Laff Palace in the Midwest, I can’t do the material I want to do; I have to do what will make those people laugh. But when I am in Williamsburg, I can expect that people will be in the same [mindset] as me.”
“Monday Night Stand-Up” is held at 7 pm on Mondays at Pete’s Candy Store (709 Lorimer St. at Skillman Avenue in Williamsburg). The televised version airs at midnight on Tuesdays on BCAT, Channel 56. For information, visit www.petescandystore.com.
