JOHNNY WATSON & CHIPPS COONEY double headlining The Comedy Cove @ Scotty's ~ March 1st & 2nd By Laurielle (Patch Poster) - Updated Feb 25, 2013 7:00 pm ET A Double Headliner Comedy show this weekend at The Comedy Cove @ Scotty's headlining Johnny Watson & Chipps Cooney. Johnny is a nationally headlining comic whose star is on the rise. He's earning a reputation as clean and clever with the charm of "the boy next door". Except that you wouldn't want to be his neighbor growing up… Watson, a kid from a dysfunctional home lived in some of New Jersey's seedier neighborhoods with his two brothers and two sisters. He learned to use his razor sharp wit to survive. "I was the poor kid on free lunch who always got my balls busted so since I couldn't really fight, I had to be funny." He started drinking when he was five years old and kept on going until high school, ("I was burned out from drinking by the time I got into high school, so I became the designated driver before they had designated drivers," he says). After briefly attending college in California, Johnny joined the Navy. Once he got out, he turned to comedy as a full-time profession (his grandmother implored him to become a comedian because "you can't do anything else right") And so… a comedy career was born. Since then Johnny has taken life's lemons and turned them into lemonade which he freely shares with his fans! And coast to coast, They Love It! You've seen Johnny at some of the biggest Comedy Clubs in the country and he has also been seen on TV, (most notably Saturday Night Live and Good Morning America and in a host of independent films and theater productions. Chipps Cooney won America's heart on NBC's "America's Got Talent", and became everybody's favorite "magician" (except Piers Morgan, who let's face it, has no sense of humor anyway) this summer on NBC's "America's Got Talent". Chipps has entertained audiences for more than 2 decades doing his stand up comedy act at The Hard Rock Cafe, The Riviera in Las Vegas, The Claridge, and the Borgata in Atlantic City. He has also performed in New York City at Gotham Comedy Club, Dangerfields, The Improvisation, and the legendary Pip's Comedy Club in Brooklyn. Cooney is a magician who amazes nobody, but entertains everybody. You may recognize him from his hilariously memorable role in Adam Sandler's movie "The Benchwarmers." This show is also featuring the very funny Kevin Dunbrowski
