Double Headliner Weekend with CHIPPS COONEY & MARQ OVERTON @The Comedy Cove!

This is a Double Hedliner weekend with Chipps Cooney and Marq Overton!

Chipps Cooney won America's heart and became everybody's favorite "magician"
(except for Piers Morgan, who let's face it, has no sense of humor anyway) last  
summer on NBC's "America's Got Talent". Chipps has entertained audiences for
more than 2 decades doing his stand up comedy act at The Hard Rock Cafe,The
Riviera In Las Vegas,The Claridge, and the Borgata in Atlantic City. He has also
performed in New York City at Gotham Comedy Club, Dangerfield’s, The
Improvisation, and the legendary Pip’s Comedy Club in Brooklyn. Cooney is a
magician who amazes nobody, but entertains everybody. You may recognize him from
his hilariously memorable role in Adam Sandler’s movie "The Benchwarmers."

Marq Overton – (Writer/Producer) was born in Harlem New York, a
few blocks from the World Famous Apollo Theater, his first inspiration in the
entertainment field. As he matured, Marq would sit in the Apollo Theater Amateur
Night audience and wonder what he would say if he was a comedian on stage in
front of 1500 hundred people to avoid the fate of most comedians that dared to
take its stage. When he took the stage for the first time at the Apollo Theater
his dream became a reality. One year later after touring the comedy circuit,
Marq returned to Apollo to win first place and would go on to make numerous
guest appearances. Thereafter, he teamed up with Andre Brown, a party promoter
who had previously seen Marq at the Apollo. This union led to collaborations
with National Black Theater, which changed the History of African-American
Comedy in America, according to The Rise and Fall of a Comedy Dynasty: The
Uptown Comedy Club Story. Marq taught comedy seminars and writing workshops. He
appeared as a comic on HBO's Short Attention Span Theater; It's Showtime at the
Apollo; Apollo Comedy Hour; Def Comedy Jam; and The Uptown Comedy Club. Now Marq
is writing chapter two of his career. He has written for Spike TV, The Big Head
People, an animated sketch comedy; Standing Still, a featured length film
considered by Bad Boy Films; and numerous comedians on today's comedy circuit.
Meanwhile, Marq hopes to affect the lives of as many people with what is his
most ambitious work Die Laughing, One Man's Story of Ignorance, Awareness and
Redemption.

This double headliner show is going to be emceed by the very funny James Hesky
