Comedy Spotlight Shines on Out Comedians at Winter Party Festival

[Ian David]

The theme for the 2007 Winter Party FestivalSM is “Beyond Borders”, and the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force is proud to introduce a new event centering on something that transcends all barriers: laughter!

Comedy Spotlight debuts on Friday, March 2, at 8 pm at South Beach’s Jackie Gleason Theater with three hilarious out comics: Leslie Jordan, Michele Balan, and ANT.



The Emmy Award-winning Jordan is best known for his roles as Beverley Leslie on Will & Grace and Brother Boy in the film Sordid Lives.

Balan has appeared on Comedy Central and in nightclubs around the country, and was the last woman standing in a recent installment of the NBC reality series Last Comic Standing.

ANT hosts VH1’s Celebrity Fit Club and stars in his own LOGO series, U.S. of ANT. Titanium pass-holders and Comedy Spotlight VIP ticket holders will be invited to meet the stars at a backstage reception featuring cocktails and hors d’oeuvres. South Florida’s own inspirational activist, The Bishop S.F.

Ma-hee, will host the show, which will be interpreted for the hearing impaired. Tickets are $41.50 and $61.50; VIP tickets are $101.50. Tickets are available at the Gleason Box Office or through Ticketmaster.com. Don’t miss your chance to laugh OUT loud!

1. I've always really liked Leslie Jordan. He is not only very funny,

but is a very good actor - both dramatic and comedic.
