Next month, iL Pirata will get a touch of the American dream with a big, classy, different, familiar, and overall shining example of African American comedy.

Ricky Luna and Bryant Hicks by. Kiko Briez

Speech Therapy Comedy Night at IL Pirata (2007 16TH ST. 9 PM. No Cover) closes out the year with a monster line-up featuring RICKY LUNA, QUEENIE TT, BRYANT HICKS, special guest RAJ DUTTA plus our Resident comedian JABARI DAVIS & maybe a few surprise guests..???

Ricky Luna has been on fire over the last year. Completely rude, outrageous, courageous, offensive, and captivating… Ricky has been knocking over audiences of every race, class, gender, and orientation. Speaking from his diaphragm, Ricky is extremely genuine and it shines through with electric Technicolor clarity. Tonight is his first headlining gig and frankly, he deserves it. Nobody goes into The Rouge, the Blue Room, the Stud, Brainwash, and beyond and receives the same warm reaction to his brand of vulgarity. If you don’t know Ricky Luna, then I’m sorry for you, but here is your chance. This guy is buzzing and if that’s not enough, he’s literally removed me from my seat with his comedy. The kid is powerful. Go to Il Pirata to experience it.
