Comedian Lisa Lampanelli will perform at the Count Basie Theatre in Red Bank on July 8, as part of the Indie Street Film Festival.
Comedian Lisa Lampanelli will appear both onstage and onscreen at the first Indie Street Film Festival, taking place July 6-10 at various Red Bank venues. The documentary “Can We Take a Joke?” — featuring her and other entertainers such as Gilbert Gottfried, Penn Jillette and Adam Carolla, and exploring the phenomenon of boundary-pushing comedy and the moral outrage it provokes — will be shown at the Count Basie Theatre July 8 at 7 p.m., after which Lampanelli will perform standup comedy.
The festival’s opening night film, which will be shown July 6 at 7 p.m. at the Basie, is “Morris From America,” a narrative film about a 13-year-old aspiring rapper who moves from the United States to Germany.
“Chosen,” a World War II drama starring Harvey Keitel, will have its world premiere at Bow Tie Cinemas, July 8 at 8 p.m.
