It’s a gorgeous Wednesday, May 17, 2023 afternoon at the PNC Bank Arts Center in Holmdel, NJ where an audience of over 6000 New Jerseyans ready themselves for a free Garden State Arts Foundation performance starring The Lettermen and comedian John Pizzi.

Garden State Arts Foundation VP Ron Gravino welcomes the crowd and thanks Live Nation Entertainment, the PNC Bank Arts Center production staff, GSAF executive director Cookie Santiago, Bob O’Brien and the GSAF volunteers, and the NJ State Troopers for their help in putting on today’s show.

Gravino introduces this afternoon’s opening act, comedian John Pizzi, announcing that Pizzi — a stand-up comic and ventriloquist — will star in an upcoming Netflix comedy special called Crossing the Line.

Pizzi takes the stage and gets cheers from the crowd when he reveals that although he currently lives in New Jersey, he was born in Brooklyn, NY. Entertaining the audience with jokes and magic tricks, the crowd reacts to Pizzi’s antics with giggles and loud guffaws.
