Robert Klein @ The Schoolhouse Theater: Legendary comedian and early pioneer of observational humor, Robert Klein, who currently plays the role of Debra Messing’s father on the new Will and Grace, returns to the intimate 99 seat Schoolhouse Theater in Croton Falls. (We saw him at the Chappaqua Performing Arts Center  in 2018 and he is still funny – an all-time great comedian whose humor never grows old.)

Rolling Stone ranked Klein No. 28 on their list of The 50 Best Stand-Up Comics of All Time (we have him higher) and they ranked his groundbreaking hour long 1975 HBO Special No. 10 on their list of Best Stand-Up Specials and Movies. His iconic 1973 comedy album A Child of the Fiftiesthat included memorable takes on lunch ladies (“School Lunch”) and air-raid drills (“Civil Defense {No Talking}) was listed by Spin Magazineas the 27^th Best Comedy Album of all Time. But who’s counting?
