Image Gallery: Steve Martin At The JCC

In conjunction with the 92nd St. Y in Manhattan, an interview with comedian Steve Martin was broadcast live at the Jewish Community Center Monday night to a full house.

When the host announced the presentation was being simulcast in Marblehead, the crowd gathered at the JCC applauded and cheered.

Prior to the event, participants could write down a question which would then be typed and e-mailed to the venue in NY and then potentially asked of Martin live. 

During the question and answer segment, one Header got her question asked.

Local resident Lija LeBlanc asked Martin what advice he would give people to be funnier. Martin's answer? Steal material from others.

"Don't tell a joke because it immediately kills conversation," Martin suggested. "Just steal one liners from someone else, that's what I do anyway."

Prior to the event, Steve Martinis were served - a festive note to an upbeat and humorous evening.

This was the first installment in an ongoing speaker series which will be simulcast at the JCC.

Live from NYC and simulcast at the J these are interactive events – you'll be able to ask questions and hear from the speakers live. Be sure to come out for these:
