What do Jon Stewart, Caroline Rhea and more than 1000 other people have in common? They were students of Scott Blakeman’s Standup Comedy Workshop at The New School, which began in 1986. Since then, many of Scott’s students have gone on to successful comedy careers, or at least have gotten the chance to fulfill a lifelong dream. On Monday December 4, 2006 at 7:00 p.m., Scott Blakeman will host a 20th anniversary celebration of his Standup Comedy Workshop at The New School’s Tishman Auditorium , featuring a conversation with Caroline Rhea (NBC’s The Biggest Loser, The Caroline Rhea Show, Sabrina The Teenage Witch), comedy performances from former students, special guests, and a video presentation.
Blakeman has made more than thirty national television appearances, and was the warmup comedian for the Late Show with David Letterman. NBC called him “The top political comedian working in New York today”, and his political humor has been heard on National Public Radio and Air America Radio, and in theaters with Laughing Liberally and Laughs From The Left: A Liberal Dose of Political Humor, which Scott performed at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in Scotland. Scott tours colleges and theaters across the country with Palestinian-American comedian Dean Obeidallah in Standup for Peace: The Two Comedian Solution to Middle East Peace.
