FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

West Virginia University at Parkersburg's Student Activities will host a Backdoor Comedy Club Friday, April 18, in the college's multi-purpose room.

Showtime is 8 p.m.; doors open at 7:30 p.m.  Featured will be Chris Fonseca who will open for headliner Pete Dominick.

Fonseca's first role as an actor was on "Baywatch."  He has done stand-up comedy from college campuses to corporate meetings.  He has appeared on "The Late Show with David Letterman," "The Howard Stern Show, and "Arsenio."

Dominick trained at the American Musical and Dramatic Academy in New York City.  While attending the academy, he moonlighted as a stand-up comic and a personal trainer.  His hilarious material parodies the world of fitness and exercise, including love and romance at the gym, the perils of the steam room and aerobics and self defense.  He has appeared on CBS's "Sunday Morning" and on Australia's "The Great Outdoors.  His high energy and clean humor have made him a hit at clubs such as Stand Up New York, Caroline's and the New York Comedy Club.

Tickets are available in the college business office.  They are $2 in advance and $4 at the door.  Additional information is available by contacting Tom Yencha, director of student activities, 424-8309.
