Evan Stone to Headline ‘Comedy Gang Bang’

TARZANA, CA — Evan Stone is one of the most awarded and recognizable male performers in the adult industry. He has taken home the coveted Male Performer of the Year title from AVN twice, along with five wins for Best Actor, and was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2011. Known for more than a decade as a versatile performer, director, and character actor, Stone is finally taking it to the stage as the headliner of his first stand up comedy show this Thursday, April 24. Stone’s comedy routine is based on his experiences as a performer in the adult industry. He is currently the subject of a comedic documentary about the same. Said one of the documentary’s producers, “Our first day of filming was a series of back-to-back interviews with performers, producers, and directors in the adult industry. We wanted to get their views on male talent and, more importantly, on Evan. So, we could start shaping the story. One of the questions we asked was, ‘What do you think Evan would have done for a living if he hadn’t found porn?’ More than half of them said ‘Comedian.’ The rest said ‘Used car salesman.’ It seemed rather natural that we would dig more deeply into that.” The Comedy show is called Comedy Gang Bang and will be hosted at Paladino’s Bar in Tarzana. Doors open at 7:00 pm. Three opening acts from rising mainstream comedians Joe Kwaczala, Chris Stephens, and Joe McAdam are scheduled. The first act starts at 9:00 pm. There is no cover charge and a live DJ will be playing before and after the show. The entire show will be filmed for use in the ongoing documentary surrounding Stone. “Come out Thursday night! Bring your girlfriend. And her girlfriends. And neighbors. Bring your boss. And your mom. Maybe not your mom. Unless she’s hot. You can bring her if she’s hot. You know what? Definitely bring your mom,” said Stone. Paladino’s was recently named one of Thrillist.com’s best San Fernando Valley bars. Known best as the dumpy metal bar that the Foo Fighters Play surprise shows at, it is located in a small strip mall. The address is 6101 Reseda Blvd., Tarzana, CA, 91335.
