Fredonia’s Pete Correale will be performing to a sold-out Opera House on Friday with another show Saturday.

The 1891 Fredonia Opera House Performing Arts Center will present Comedian Pete Correale on Saturday at 7:30 p.m. as part of his 30-city national tour, As I Was Saying. (A performance on Friday is sold-out.)

Correale has performed on numerous late night TV shows such as The Tonight Show, Letterman, and Conan. as well as filming three of his own one-hour television comedy specials, Things We do for Love, Let Me Tell Ya and For Pete’s Sake. He has also released two comedy albums, Give it a Rest and Made for Radio. Correale also is the co-host of The Pete and Sebastian Show, a podcast with comedian and longtime friend Sebastian Maniscalco.

The Pete and Sebastian Show is one of the most wildly popular comedy podcasts on air today.  The show is nearly 10 years running, with an ever-growing fanbase and has featured guests including Bill Burr, Jay Mohr, Bobby Lee, Yannis Pappas, Billy Gardell, and more!

Correale’s love for entertainment started when he went to college at SUNY Fredonia.  During his senior year, he took an acting class and knew immediately what he wanted to do – be in show business.  This burning desire has evolved for over 20 years into what we know it as today – a reflective comedic take on his life and the experiences he’s been through.

With a conversational delivery and his trademark disarming regular guy attitude, Correale makes you feel like you’re listening to the funniest guy at a party as opposed to just another comedian on a stage. Opening for Correale will be Comedian Mike Greenwood.

Patrons are advised that food, drink, large bags and backpacks are NOT allowed in the theatre for this performance. Anyone bringing them into the lobby will be asked to return them to the car.

Tickets to the show are $30 and can be purchased in person at the Opera House Box Office or by phone at 716-679-1891, Tuesday-Friday, noon to 4:30 p.m. They can be purchased online anytime at www.fredopera.org.
