Nelson and Palmer Thrive as Java Lanes Comedy Duo
A vivid portrait of Nelson and Palmer, two Italian-American comedians who met by chance in 1960, rising from a Brooklyn supper club to major New York venues and Las Vegas. They charm crowds with ad lib precision, musical talent, and rapid-fire, evolving routines, now headlining at Java Lanes with the Keith Shaw Players.
