When was the last time you put down your phone, turned off Netflix and actually went out for a night of entertainment?<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve become a society of people staring at screens, scrolling through social media and watching other people have fun.<\/p>\n

Enough already.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s nothing quite like live entertainment, especially when it involves laughing at ourselves here in New Jersey.<\/p>\n

Saturday, October 24, at 8 p.m. we\u2019re bringing \u201cProud to Be New Jersey Funny!\u201d to the Carteret Performing Arts & Events Center.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ll be hosting a terrific lineup featuring New Jersey 101.5 personalities like Steve Trevelise, Jill Myra, Eric Potts and Gemini, along with special guest comedian Fred Rubino.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re talking Jersey attitudes, Jersey characters and all those things we think but don\u2019t always say out loud.<\/p>\n

Believe me, there\u2019s plenty of material!<\/p>\n

But there\u2019s a bigger story here. Carteret Mayor Dan Reiman deserves real credit for what he\u2019s doing to bring business, investment and entertainment into his town.<\/p>\n

Instead of accepting the decline of a traditional downtown, Reiman has made economic development and revitalization priorities.<\/p>\n

The Carteret Performing Arts & Events Center is a perfect example of how a community can use entertainment to attract visitors, support restaurants and local businesses, and create a destination.<\/p>\n

Carteret\u2019s redevelopment efforts have helped attract billions in private investment, with new residential, commercial, and entertainment projects contributing to the town\u2019s transformation.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s the kind of leadership I like to see.<\/p>\n

Government creating an environment where businesses want to invest, people want to visit, and communities can thrive.<\/p>\n

Bring your better half, bring your friends, and come laugh with us.<\/p>\n

We could all use a little more laughter and a lot less screen time. Click here <\/a>for tickets and show details<\/p>\n
