Celebrity impersonator and actor Joe Posa will celebrate the 90th birthday of the iconic entertainer Joan Rivers with his show Joan Rivers (a)LIVE on Saturday, November 25 at 7 PM at The Green Room 42. A portion of the proceeds from the show will be donated to Rivers’ favorite charity, God’s Love We Deliver.
Known to be Rivers’ personal favorite impersonator, Posa recreates the legend’s look, mannerisms and signature frenetic energy in a non-stop 75-minute tribute to the late comedic genius, lovingly channeling the edgy and politically incorrect humor as only Joan Rivers could. Posa’s demeanor, physical appearance, facial expressions, wit and energy pay homage to Rivers, allowing us to laugh at a time when we all really need to.
Joe Posa began his career in musical theater and was cast in the international touring company of West Side Story. Other musicals include productions of A Chorus Line, Grease, South Pacific, and Anything Goes. His film credits include Rooftops, Scent of a Woman, Carlito’s Way, Night and the City, The Associate and The Mirror Has Two Faces. Television credits include “Law & Order,” “NYPD Blue” and “The Sopranos.” Eventually he added Joan Rivers to his act, and the rest is history, appearingg alongside Rivers on multiple occasions.
