Vic DiBitetto @ The Ridgefield: He sold out two shows at The Ridgefield Playhouse in October. And he’s back for two more in February.
Often described as a cross between Rodney Dangerfield and Ralph Kramden, Vic DiBitetto was a 1991 Grand Prize-winner on America’s Funniest People. Twenty-two years later, he was working as a school bus driver on Staten Island when his YouTube video Bread and Milk went viral with over 16 million views. A year later, he appeared with Kevin James in Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2.
In other words, he was an overnight sensation. LOL!

We like to call The Ridgefield Playhouse the hardest working venue around. With a seating capacity of 536 seats, compared to 1,8oo for The Capitol Theatre or 1,500 for Paramount Hudson Valley, they can’t rely on a couple of “good gates” a week to pay the rent. Instead, they’re booking every day of the year, except Christmas.
In fact they book 200-225 live shows a year. And they fill in with on-screen events (art house movies and documentaries, Metropolitan Opera, Bolshoi Ballet or National Theatre on screen HD presentations) on the days when they don’t have a live show. But their size may be a blessing in disguise. For them and their patrons. Because it enables them to tap into a wide range of musical talent. And serve up the best lineup.
