10.6.25 – The Alliance of Automotive Service Providers of New Jersey (AASP/NJ) is gearing up for a night of celebration and a whole lot of laughter during the association’s Annual Meeting on Wednesday, October 22 at Gran Centurions in Clark, NJ.
This year’s headline act is comedian, actor, author, TV and radio personality Jim Florentine. From co-hosting VH1 Classic’s “That Metal Show” to voicing outrageous characters on “Crank Yankers,” Florentine’s career spans stand-up specials, best-selling comedy albums and national appearances on “Howard Stern,” “Opie and Anthony,” “Inside the NFL” and “Gutfeld!” Fans can also catch him on Sirius XM’s “The Jim Florentine Show” and his hit podcast, “Everybody is Awful (Except You).”
Sharing the stage on October 22 will be Don Jamieson, Florentine’s partner-in-comedy from “That Metal Show.” Jamieson brings his Emmy Award-winning chops (“Inside the NFL”) and a long list of comedy specials to the stage for even more laughs.
But the night isn’t just about comedy; it’s also about celebrating the people who make the AASP/NJ community thrive. Highlights of the Annual Meeting will include the presentation of the 2025 Russ Robson Scholarship Award, given annually to an up-and-coming employee of a member shop or student, and the Stan Wilson/New Jersey Automotive Body Shop of the Year Award presented to a deserving member shop. AASP/NJ will also conduct its annual Board of Director elections.
“The Annual Meeting is always a great way to meet up with fellow members, relax and enjoy some great entertainment,” says AASP/NJ Board member Brad Crawford. “What a great opportunity to see two well-known comedians for a fraction of the price. Jim and Don are hysterical and it’s going to be a really fun night! I can’t wait!”
AASP/NJ member shops in good standing pay one fee of $35 to have company members attend; non-members pay $75 each. Dinner will be included.
