His powerful performances have made him one of the most sought-after comedians.
Lindenhurst Memorial Library decided to try something new as part of their Live at LML Sunday series. When Rockn Randy performed, he brought a bit of old-school, stand-up comedy to all who attended.
The library generally holds concerts as part of their 'Live' lineup. Opera, Jazz and the popular Liverpool Shuffle, a Beatles tribute band, are just some of the events taking place. Now it was time to go the comedy route.
"I just said comedy might be a little different," LML Events Coordinator Sara Fiorenzo said. "I saw him online, I said he's a clean comedian, I want to give it a try."
It's a library crowd, so the humor is definitely PG. That suits Randy Novick, aka Rockn Randy, just fine. He's been performing stand-up for 30 years, usually doing private shows for organizations throughout the region.
Randy was a bandleader as a teenager, and performed background music for many entertainers. Folks kept telling him he looked and sounded like Rodney Dangerfield. He grabbed a mic, and an act was born.
Randy channels the legendary comedian in his act, right down to the red necktie. The one-liners come fast and furious, about family and everyday life.
"Basically my act is a take of Rodney Dangerfield / Henny Youngman. I'm from the old school. I love these old time comedians," Randy said. "Their jokes are the best."
Like the one about his wife crashing the car into a tree. "'Hey, I honked the horn,'" Randy recalled her telling him.
Or bringing home a date that looked like his mother. His father couldn't stand her (cue the drum roll).
And the old standby: "My wife wanted to go someplace she'd never seen before. I said, 'Try the kitchen.'"
The lines are tried and true, and get laughs from the audience at the library. It's certainly a different dynamic than one would find at the comedy clubs.
'"People who come to a library usually don't see stand-up comedians, so they find it quite interesting," Randy said. "They find it very exciting, whereas they don't usually see this unless [it's on] television."
To keep things moving, Randy dug into his music background, pulls out his clarinet and added a little jazz to the festivities and that is how he got the nickname.
"It's because of my posture. I stand up. It seems like I rock...the perfect name," he said.
Fiorenzo was waiting on the feedback from the crowd to decide if comedy would become a mainstay at the library, and the early feedback from attendees was positive. They enjoyed getting a laugh at a place you wouldn't expect.
"This is something different," Rhoda Weiss of West Babylon said.
A dose of Dangerfield at the library? I guess it is!!
