“Drop Dead” is an American Farce Comedy and was written by Billy Van Zandt and Jane Milmore. This production is directed by Don Pinnelle (“Death by Chocolate”, “Cuckoo’s Nest”) and produced by the well-accomplished John Fraser. Medford native Erin Keith is the Stage Manager keeping Dave, “Victor” and Cast on their toes!

Past Boston Comedy Festival Winner Dave Russo will be performing as the Opening Act and later transform before our very own eyes! Dave may even surface as the character lead Victor Le Pewe, a psychotic eye twitching megalomaniac director. “Victor” will be joined on stage by the likes of “Candy Apples” and other hilarious characters.

About Dave Russo:

After winning the inaugural Boston Int'l Comedy Festival "Best New Comic award", Dave received national attention when he beat out 5,000 entertainers to be a part of the E! Entertainment Networks 10 episode TV series "The Entertainer".

Dave was recently hand selected by the producer of NBC's Last Comic Standing to perform on the new TV show NESN's COMEDY ALL-STARS and is on the cover and prominently featured in "THE COMEDIANS" America’s Comedy Magazine!

Dave has made himself a reputation of being one of the country's most versatile comics working today! His act is a CLEAN high energy combination of improvisation, singing, dancing, mime, storytelling, and rapid fire punch-lines!

Dave has worked with heavyweights in the entertainment industry such as The Bare Naked Ladies-911 Benefit show, Wayne Newton's USO tours, The Righteous Brothers, ABBA, Joe Cocker, The Beach Boys, Dave Chappelle, Lewis Black, Steven Wright, Paul Rodriguez, Sinbad, Kevin Pollock, and Mitch Hedberg to name a few.
