Station Avenue Announces Carlos Mencia at Cove Haven Resorts January 2016

Station Avenue Productions announces Carlos Mencia will be entertaining the Poconos at Cove Haven Entertainment Resorts in January 2016.

Carlos Mencia began his career doing stand-up on amateur night at the world renowned comedy club, Laugh Factory. He later showcased at The Comedy Store and became a regular, performing nightly. After he found success on the L.A comedy circuit, Mencia was named "International Comedy Grand Champion" from Buscando Estrellas - the Latino version of Star Search. This led to appearances on “In Living Color,” “The Arsenio Hall Show,” “Moesha” and “An Evening at the Improv.”

Mencia continued his journey up the comedy ladder by headlining “The Three Amigos” tour with Freddy Soto and Pablo Francisco in 2002, which sold out in record time around the United States. He was also featured in the independent films, “Outta Time” and “29 Palms” and starred in guest spots on “The Shield” and “The Bernie Mac Show,” among others. In 2002, he received a CableACE Award nomination for Best Stand-Up Comedy Special for his HBO special. That same year, “Mind of Mencia” went into development. The show was an instant hit and after the first season, Comedy Central signed Mencia back for his own original stand-up special, “Carlos Mencia: No Strings Attached.” The special was the first Comedy Central Stand-up Special DVD to achieve Platinum sales status.

Mencia comes from a humble background, born in San Pedro Sula, Honduras, the 17th of 18 children. His parents sent him to the United States when he was about three months old, where he was raised in the Maravilla Projects in Los Angeles, California by his aunt and uncle. In his early teens, Mencia moved back to Honduras because his family wanted him to avoid the destructive gang culture of East Los Angeles. When Mencia later returned to Los Angeles, he showed such educational prowess that he was immediately promoted to the tenth grade. Soon after, he successfully graduated from Garfield High School.

Book your stay at Cove Haven Resorts early!

Multi-talented comedian Tracy Morgan is back at it with his "TRACY MORGAN: Picking up the Pieces" tour, his latest major multi-city standup tour starting in February 2016. After a triumphant return to the Hollywood stage at this year's Emmy Awards and a visit to his old stomping grounds at SNL, audiences can look forward to the entertainer doing what he does best: making people laugh.

"It's just like falling off a bike and getting back on, that's all: you don't forget where the pedals are", Morgan says on getting back to touring, "People can expect more of what I did before. It's me: funny + truth = Tracy Morgan. I can't wait to get back to ya'll; city to city, state to state, watch me operate."

Starring for seven seasons on NBC's Emmy and Golden Globe Award-winning "30 Rock," Morgan appeared opposite Tina Fey and Alec Baldwin as "Tracy Jordan," the unpredictable star of Lemon's (Fey) hit variety show, "TGS with Tracy Jordan." In 2009 Morgan received his first Emmy Nomination for this role, in the Supporting Actor category; he has also been nominated multiple times for a Supporting Actor NAACP Image Award.

Morgan has successfully turned his love for standup comedy tour into a couple of TV specials. His first, an HBO Special titled Black & Blue and the second, a Comedy Central Special, titled Tracy Morgan: Bona Fide, which brought Comedy Central one of its largest viewership for a standup special in 2014.

He also headlined the famed "New York Comedy Festival" which featured acclaimed comedians including Bill Maher, Andy Samberg, and Patton Oswalt, among others. To round out his list of achievements, Morgan released his first book entitled I Am The New Black, a compilation of studied anecdotes and some of the more serious moments that shaped him and his career.

Corporate Holiday Parties: One Bright, Happy Holiday Season

Just a few holiday seasons ago, companies across the board were scaling back on holiday events in light of economic constraints—or cancelling them altogether, deeming the celebrations either needlessly extravagant or highly inappropriate in the wake of layoffs. 

Today, holiday parties are back in full, merry swing! 

Industry pros across the country echo the sentiment that corporate holiday party bookings and budgets are on an upswing, reporting that some companies are even once again investing in multiple events and big-name headliners. With the improving economy, more corporations will be throwing holiday parties this year. In fact, many HR departments are already deep into planning their holiday get-togethers - with many celebrations already underway!

Indeed, Holiday Season 2015 is shaping up to be quite the corporate celebration!

According to a recent article in BizBash, disco balls are even replacing traditional ornaments as the holiday decoration of the season, with traditional holiday greenery taking on inventive decorative uses. Not to worry, pinecones and evergreens will never go out of style when it comes to corporate holiday parties, but this year unexpected themes like Studio 54-inspired bashes and gold details - instead of icy silver embellishments - offer fun corporate party twists on tradition.

“People want to celebrate—the increase in the number of parties we booked last year grew dramatically over the year prior, and this year the pace is ­already picking up,” reports CJ DiRoma, CEO of Station Avenue Productions. “A few short holiday seasons ago, even if a company had the ability to host a lovely holiday event, they many times transitioned that investment in other places - that is not the case this holiday season.” 

Station Avenue Productions are leaders in event production, event entertainment and all things event magic. Visit Station Avenue Productions on Twitter @StationAvenue and keep up with #StationAveEvents this holiday season and all year long! Questions? Contact Station Avenue today (215) 644-8171.
