Eat, Drink, And Be Merry Stand-up Comedy Show

Saturday, January 18, 2025 from 7 PM to 9:30 PM

Come join us for an evening of good food, great drinks and copious amounts of adult hilarity at Madeline's first ever stand-up comedy show! Four comedians! Host is Josh Ritenour and opener is Julian Atwater, both of whom are up and coming comics from Pittsburgh. The featured comedian is Chris Scriva. Born to a blue-collar family in the Steel City, Chris's earliest memories take place in his father's repair shop. He's a former altar boy, grandma's boy, and oldest of 3 who was raised in a mixture of Italian and Eastern European traditions. A natural non-conformist, Chris was drawn to fast cars, fast music, and the rebelliousness of stand-up at a young age and was heavily influenced by countless nights of sneakily watching Chappelle's Show and South Park. After spending years in Chicago studying at the world's top improvisation and sketch institutions, Chris has returned to the hilly, rusting, industrial landscape that forged him. Once a mechanical engineer, Chris now travels the world performing his own unique brand of anecdotal stand-up comedy. From Pittsburgh to Amsterdam, Los Angeles to New York, there is no place that he won't take the stage. Check him out on YouTube at @ChrisScrivaComedy or his website www.ihatestandup.com. And the headliner is Ray DeVito! Ray is from Cleveland so he's like one of us. Ray's Dry Bar special "40 & Simple" was released in January 2023, continually featured in the Top 10 on the Dry Bar website & App. His podcast Rock Bottom Podcast has featured comedian friends and guests such as Dave Attell, Kevin Brennan, Bob Levy, Mark Normand and Big Jay Oakerson. Based in New York City, Ray is making an impact on the Manhattan comedy scene. In 2005, he made his national television debut on the Lifetime Network, where his performance at Gotham Comedy Club aired on "How Clean is Your House?" That performance led to appearances on the E! Network and Entertainment Tonight. His 'Laundromat Sketch' was featured in the New York Times and his 'The Tudor's Henry the VIII: The Real Story' was the featured video on Comedy Central's sister site Atom.com. He's had his own web series on AOL's men's website Asylum.com. Ray also frequents the Bob and Tom Show, he's been the featured comedian of the week on SiriusXM Radio, he's also a regular guest on the very popular award winning podcast Keith and the Girl, he's has been part of segments on The Nightly Show with Larry Wilmore, and his two albums "1647 Waterbury" & "Well, That Crowd Liked Me" entitled "1647 Waterbury" can be heard on SiriusXM Radio. He played himself on five episodes of The Jim Gaffigan Show on TV Land & Comedy Central. He currently has a web video series titled Ray's Original No Pizza, on MTV2′s GuyCodeBlog and Mtv.com. All seats are reserved. Doors open at 5:00 so come early, get a drink or two, buy an appetizer and pre-order dessert, hang out in our beautiful lounges or outside, and then find your seat. And they are ALL good seats. The show takes place in our Main Dining Room, Middle Dining Room and Pond Bar. Before the show, around 7:00pm, a fantastic buffet dinner will be served. The bar will be open during the entire performance, and maybe longer, if you don't want to go home right away. The purchase of a ticket gets you the show, amazing buffet dinner with soft drink re-fills, and a nice place to sit with your friends. The bars are "cash bar" that you pay for with real money or credit card. Appetizers, coffees, espressos, desserts and ice-cream are also extra. Our full menu is also available for ordering from if you don't want the buffet, but that is additional at regular price and ticket prices cannot be discounted or refunded. You can order that meal ahead of time and pay using our online ordering tab on https://www.MadelinesDining.com Tickets will make the BEST CHRISTMAS GIFTS EVER!
