Event
the smallest show in town--Benefit for the Dom Leone Writing Competition
Youngstown native, Chris Leone, brings his family-friendly variety show, the smallest show in town, to Youngstown for a one-night performance on Saturday, November 17, at 7pm at Ursuline High School's Deibel-Morley Theater. Proceeds from this special performance will benefit Youngstown's Dom Leone Writing Competition.
The smallest show in town is a family-friendly, all-ages variety show that features acoustic music, sketch comedy, improv comedy, story telling, special guests, and grilled cheese sandwiches! The show has been likened to a cross between A Prairie Home Companion and The Carol Burnett Show. The November 17 show will feature comedy players from Pittsburgh's Arcade Comedy Theater, and music from the smallest show's house band, The Spurs of the Moment (Carmen, Nick, and Chris Leone with other guests). Other local guests will also be featured, including students reading entries of past years' writing competition winners. There will also be special raffles of items donated by the community.
Chris introduced and curated the smallest show in town as a showcase for local talent in San Francisco when he lived there in the early 2000s. The show enjoyed critical acclaim and a successful run for several years before going on hiatus until its resurgence in Chris' current home town of Pittsburgh, PA in April of 2016. Since 2016, the smallest show in town has been playing monthly to ever-growing crowds at the Arcade Comedy Theater in Pittsburgh's cultural district. In August of 2017, the smallest show in town performed to a standing room only crowd at Youngstown's Hopewell Theater. We are excited to perform in Youngstown again, and to benefit the Dom Leone Writing Competition--a Youngstown based writing competition that encourages and supports creativity in young people.
