DELRAY BEACH – Carl Rimi took a couple months away from the stage to work on his iPossessed movie.
Now he’s back, and South Florida comedy audiences are loving it.
Rimi killed at the CCW headquarters last month when he performed inside a wrestling ring. Tuesday’s gig will be much more intimate.
The South Florida veteran is headlining Tuesday’s show at the Wine House Social in Delray Beach. He’s atop a lineup that’s no joke. Perry Sak, Nadeem Awad and Anthony Terzo are also scheduled to perform, with David Sadman hosting. There’s also talk of a special guest performer – potentially another headline-quality comic dropping in.
This is only the third comedy show at the Wine House Social since its re-opening, but the venue has quickly become known as a comic’s room. Owners re-arrange the seating for the show, and there’s a great ambiance in the room.
The performers have also been top notch – and will be again this week.
Best of all, the show is free. The Applause Planner can’t think of anywhere else it would rather be on a Tuesday night.
