Saint Bernadette

Okay if you haven’t yet seen Jackson for the once a month Downtown Comedy Show he puts on at the Metric Bar & Grill you better get your butt in gear so you can tell your friends, lovers and grandchildren too that you know this guy before he busted out to the big, big time.

Featuring comedians from HBO, Comedy Central, Showtime and more!!! Hosted by comedian Jackson!! Its all at Metric Bar and Grill 39 Cannon St. (downtown) Bridgeport, CT Showtime 930pm!! Ten dollars at the door and worth every sheckel.

Order food while you’re there cause The Metric can cook up a storm but be warned you might laugh so hard you could spit up your chicken wings and look like the fool.

Oh yeah and Jackson’s got a brand spanking new OPEN MIKE night every Thursday at Metric. Comics, poets hip hop artists and more. Give him a holler on Facebook and keep up to date. His posts are part Martin Luther King, part Richard Pryor with a dash of lord knows what which equals 100% Jackson.

Check out New Jackson City on YouTube. We can’t post it here because, well it’s a newspaper blog and the you know what is just a bit too real.

Okay so if you already decided to come to Acoustic Cafe and see us perform don’t read this. We don’t want you to feel torn up about the abundance of things to do in yes, here in BRIDGEPORT.

Okay so here’s the deal. In conjunction with exhibit ART/BPT:2010 City Lights Galley will present a screening of short films and video projections all about Bridgeport. Good and bad, memories and dreams and hopes and fears.

Discussion to follow featuring Bridgeport mavens Michael Daly of the Connecticut Post, Brad Durrell of the Bridgeport News and Lenny Grimaldi of ONLY in BRIDGEPORT fame. Chili dinner for both meat lovers and vegetarians starts at 5:30 and the screening begins at 6:30. Suggestion donation of $10. RSVP REQUESTED.

Whether or not you’ve given up anything for Lent, whether or not you’re not Catholic, whether or not you worship anywhere get your adoration for great music on down to Acoustic Cafe this Sunday March 7 and join us at 5 PM for Musical Mass at Acoustic Cafe.

The price is right folks, a recession beating value deal of F-R-E-E! Yep no charge though don’t forget to tip your bartenders and buy some CDs of your favorite musicians.

Joining us on the bill is the great Joe Roberto and Poverty Hash, Israel Nash Gripka
The Fieros and a super special secret guest that you won’t want to miss. No it’s not Michele Obama but almost as cool.

Just a couple warnings:

1) This isn’t approved by the Archdiocese of Bridgeport
2) This is going to be far more fun than what you normally do on Sunday night
3) We’re heading on a 3 week tour leading us to Austin, Texas for two showcases at the South By Southwest Festival so you come see us now so you can tell you friends you knew Saint Bernadette before we get big and famous.
4) Way more fun than the Oscars even without the statuettes.
5) We love you all so get ready to feel it.

Grab your favorite rosary beads or not. Sunday March 7 5 pm at Acoustic Cafe for FREE. Don’t miss it.

Okay this post might get the least advance notice award but between the 9 to 5 and getting ready for our three week tour accept my apologies and hopes that at least of few of you will catch this and head on over to Cafe Nine in New Haven to see Lauren Ambrose and the Leisure Class. The show starts at 9 pm.

Which means you better hurry up and get there or become a fan on Facebook and catch her next show.

You might know here as the actress from Six Feet Under but don’t let that fool you. Ambrose and her band are top notch swinging a variety of Pop standards and other tunes that will make you wonder why some folks get double doses of talent.
