Your Ticket to Nights of Laughter and Joy!
Bring yourself, friends and family. We'll bring the jokes!
🍝 Punchlines & Pasta: Laugh Loud. Eat Well. Regret Nothing.
Skip another predictable Friday night of binge-watching shows you'll forget by tomorrow. Instead, spend the evening with a room full of strangers laughing at things nobody should be saying out loud.
Punchlines & Pasta is back with another stacked lineup featuring headliner Mike Menendez, whose razor-sharp observations have made audiences laugh across the country. Joining him are Olivia Hill, Jonathan Flanagan, Rachel Burch, and Jim Andritch—five comedians with one mission: make you laugh so hard you snort your tiramisu.
Come hungry, because Antonucci's will be serving its incredible Italian menu before and during the show.
Come ready to laugh, because these comics aren't bringing "dad jokes"—they're bringing the kind of comedy you'll still be quoting on Monday. Zero algorithm and no skip button.
Here's what you're signing up for:
- 🎤 A killer lineup of stand-up comedians
- 🍝 Incredible Italian food available before and during the show
- 🍷 Cocktails, wine, and desserts that pair surprisingly well with questionable life choices.
This isn't a giant theatre where you're watching comedians on a screen. It's an intimate room where every laugh is contagious, every seat feels close to the show, and nobody is hiding in the back.
Punchlines & Pasta—because therapy takes months, but laughter starts at 7:00 PM. 🍝🎤

POSTPONED
Beth Stelling headlines a memorable night of comedy.
Beth's sharp writing and insights bring a unique approach to laughter. Her observations range from living in Los Angeles, to dating, and maybe what happens in her life that day.
Her Netflix special, "If You Didn't Want Me Then," holds up upon repeat viewing. This show is a rare opportunity to see one of today's best comedians in an intimate setting.
Thash Mose opens for Jay Leno on a regular basis. She grew up in a small Danish village with a population of 134. Her fresh appeal will limit you to two expressions - laughter and smiles.
Jenelle Van De Mortel is a comedian and artist. She has opened for Erica Rhodes and Craig Shoemaker among others. She relates stories of youthful choices gone wrong and her 27-year marriage.
Freddy Kuhn tells tales of a 23-year marriage, raising four children and skydiving.
Jim Andritch is just happy to be anywhere that lets him in through the door...or window...etc.
Don't miss this one!

Punchlines & Pasta continues a series of fun summer shows at Antonucci's Italian Cucina, on August 28.
Another Friday. Another lineup that has no business being in a restaurant.
Headlining the night is J Chris Newberg.
You've seen him on The Tonight Show and Jimmy Kimmel Live! You've heard him on podcasts. More importantly, you've probably laughed at one of his jokes without realizing it.
Joining Chris:
Liz Zagone—smart, fearless, and on point jokes.
Brian McKenzie—dry, sharp, and always a sentence ahead of the room.
Gini Sikes—quick, original, and the kind of comic who makes everything sound like it actually happened... even when you hope it didn't.
Hosted by Jim Andritch, whose job is to warm up the crowd and occasionally remind everyone this is still technically a family-owned Italian restaurant.
No gimmicks. No crowd games. No inspirational life lessons hidden inside the jokes. Just five comics doing what they do best.
Come early, order dinner, have a drink, and let the comics handle the awkwardness.
If you've been to Punchlines & Pasta, you already know.
If you haven't...this is a pretty good night to start.

Life's ridiculous. So are we.

Everything's on fire. At least this show is funny.
For one night only, JimJokes.com takes over the Cabrillo Playhouse with a lineup of comics who have absolutely no interest in giving you a motivational speech. They're here to make you laugh until your face hurts.
Headlining the show is Macey Isaacs, whose sharp insight and effortlessly hilarious storytelling have made her a favorite with audiences.
Macey recently appeared on the hit Netflix show “Funny AF with Kevin Hart"; and “Comics Unleashed.” She will also be on tour featuring for Chelsea Handler.
Also hitting the stage:
Jessica Saul – Equal parts charming and dangerous. She'll have you laughing right before you realize the joke was about you.
Pippa Spindel – Delivers the kind of punchlines that make you laugh first and wonder, "Can she say that?" later.
Julia Stone – Sweet enough to fool you. Savage enough to make you spit out your drink.
Jim Andritch – Proof that getting older doesn't make you wiser—it just gives you better stories and lower back pain.

Life has enough awkward silences. Spend one night listening to professional comedians create them on purpose.
Punchlines & Pasta returns to Antonucci's Italian Cucina with a lineup built for people who like their comedy smart, sharp, and just a little dangerous.
Friday, September 25. Antonucci's Italian Cucina.
Headlining the evening is JF Harris, a nationally touring comic known for his brutally funny storytelling, razor-sharp writing, and the rare ability to make an entire room laugh at things they probably shouldn't.
Also on the show:
Anna Mae Gordon.
Quiet confidence. Big laughs.
Lilly Cohen.
Fast. Sharp. Zero wasted words.
Derek Freeman.
The kind of comic who looks comfortable saying exactly what everyone else edits out.
Hosted by Jim Andritch, whose primary responsibility is keeping the evening from becoming evidence.
That's it. No viral impressions. No motivational speeches pretending to be stand-up. No comedian explaining how brave they are for having opinions.
