WILLIAM PATERSON UNIVERSITY PRESENTS "THE KEVIN MEANEY CHRISTMAS SHOW"

Kevin Meaney, a stand-up comedian and star of numerous award-winning HBO specials, will present his own light-hearted perspective on the holidays in "The Kevin Meaney Christmas Show" to be staged at William Paterson’s Shea Center for Performing Arts on December 12 at 8 p.m. The show will feature a special guest appearance by the Wayne Valley High School Choir.

Meaney’s Christmas production debuted last year in his hometown of Tarrytown, N.Y. His amusing anecdotes and lively banter offer an escape from the stresses of the season. Meaney devotes his show to reminiscing about his own holiday childhood memories. The production will also feature appearances by other comedians, who will provide their own entertaining opinions about the holidays.

Meaney has always been interested in making people laugh. He has made numerous appearances on "The Tonight Show," and performed in front of comedic legend Johnny Carson. Meaney also won an Emmy for his role on the San Francisco PBS show, "Comedy Tonight." In 1996, he wrote, produced and starred in a one-man autobiographical play, "Vegas Vows."

Admission is $26 standard; $24 senior citizens and William Paterson community, $15 for children ages 13-17 and William Paterson students: limit two per ID. Special $10 rush tickets available to William Paterson students 15 minutes prior to curtain on the night of the event only: limit two per ID.
