Welcome to Pam Bruno's Comedy Website!

S Fla Venues and Heroes

This is the spot to read about who is responsible for giving comics the chance to perform on a regular basis! (See Schedule of Rooms below)

And now presenting...

Dominic Perenzin!!

1)How long have you been doing comedy? When did you start hosting open mics/booked shows?

I been doing comedy for a little over a year and been hosting rooms for a year now.

2) What circumstances led to your becoming a host?

I found a need for rooms to develop new comics. Decided with the help of some of my friends to set rooms up.

3) What has been the most rewarding experience you have had as a result of hosting?

I really enjoy giving back to the community and seeing comics develop.

4) Would you say it has helped your skills as a comic? If so, please elaborate.

I think that there is no other way to get better as a comic than stage time. I have been able to go on stage much more and think that it has really helped me with stage confort and working out material. Another perk is that you learn the business side of comedy which is equaly as important as the performace part.

5) Any other comments you would like to add?

I think that south Florida Comics community is exeptional and have made lifetime friends. I hope that in some years it grows and becomes one of the most respected scenes in country

6) Please tell us where and when you have shows, so we can get the word out!

I run the Have Nots Comedy Showcase which runs weekly at UVA Lounge in coral Gables. Every Thursday at 9pm. I can be reached on Facebook or for booking at hncsbooking@gmail.com.

Also, I have a weekly room called The Comedy Inn at The Quality Inn in Miami, 14501 S Dixie Hwy. Every Friday at 9 pm.

Just started a Saturday night show at the Champions Sports Bar, 1201 NW LeJeune Road, Miami.
