Performed at the Icehouse In Pasadena Ca

Had a fantastic time performing on Rudy Moreno's Show at the world famous Icehouse Comedy Club in Pasadena.  Met up with my friend, Kojo Prince, who just happened to have flown into California, from Florida, to do the show at the Icehouse. It was great to see Frazer Smith, of course I just saw him last month when he hosted my show at Flappers Comedy Club in Claremont Ca.  We have a show in the works with Mike Marino, early 2015.

Great time performing in Laughlin

Had a great time performing in Laughlin at Laughfest Comedy Festival.  Finally met in person, my fellow comedian, and brother, in Law, Dwayne Gill.  Dwayne is still on the job working as a Sergeant for the Michigan State Police.  We performed together at the Golden Nugget, and he had me do a guest set, at his show at the Edgewater Casino.  It was also great to see my friend Dennis Blair, who was playing Joey Bishop in the Rat Pack show at the Riverside Casino.  Dennis was George Carlin's opening act for more than twenty years.

Comedy Cop on the move

Great run of shows.

I've had a great run of shows. Starting with my headlining Flappers Comedy Club in Claremont Ca.on September 4.  We had a great night and crowd.  It was great to work with Frazer Smith, Marco Assante, Vince Royale, and Jimmy Delle Valle again.  This was my first time producing a show at Flappers, we had such a great turnout, I will be returning very soon. 
Next I was off to Caledonia NY, for the Cook/Coyle Comedy Fundraiser, September 13, with my good friend Mike Marino.  This was another great night, made super special, having family and friends, at the show.  And having my Dad open the show.  He did fantastic !  The crowd loved him as usual.  This past weekend spent a few days in Vegas, at the world series of comedy, went to a few seminars, and performed at one of the late night shows.  Next, off to Laughlin, for the Laughlin Laughfest, this next weekend. 

Cliff Yates opens for Kivi Rogers at Ventura Harbor

I'm very excited to be opening for Kivi Rogers June 6 and 7th at the Ventura Harbor Comedy Club.  This should be a great weekend, Kivi is awesome, and the club is one of the best in the country.  I will be opening for Mike Marino at the Surf City Comedy Club in Huntington Beach at the end of June.  I am in talks with Flappers Comedy Club to headline a show in the fall at the Claremont Club.  I have been in the comedy workshop writing new material, so hope to see you at a show soon.  Thanks to everyone as always for all the support.

DVD Release Party

The DVD release party at Steven's Steakhouse was a big success.  We sold all the DVD's we brought with us.  The new DVD is still available at www.cliffyates.com .  I opened the show, since I wanted to make it more of a party than a show. I wanted to host the show giving thanks to all who had supported the DVD show.  This was my free thank you show to everyone who supported my shows last year.   And I knew that  I was going to be rolling out 30 minutes of new material.  I had rehearsed rewrote rehearsed, and rehearsed some more, knowing it was a big risk to roll out such a big chunk of new stuff, but i don't get up every week to be constantly working in new material.   When we went over 45 in the crowd, i knew i had just the right size crowd to get a true reading on how the new material was going.  I had Chris Zee, along with Jimmy Delle Valle, and Rudy Moreno, waiting in the wings.  I knew that I was not headlining the show, so if things went really bad, i could bail out, and I had my big hitter headliners ready to close out the show.  Wow, i knew the new material was going well, but i was really surprised that almost all of it worked.  The feedback that I received form Jimmy Delle Valle and Rudy Moreno, was so inspiring.  It gave me such a boost of confidence in my writing.  I'm already planning the next hour special, so stay tuned.
