For all you former Mooney's fans, we're roasting Mooney's bartender Ben Carlin at Southpaw on Sunday, January 18th. Doors are at 7pm and the Roast begins at 8 pm. $5 cover charge (just to cover costs). Come join us - it should be a lot of fun...and very funny!

    Is it true that Ben originally slated to play the part of Vinnie in "My Cousin Vinnie"?

    Rent " Author, Author" if you can to catch Ben's performance with Al Pacino. He was that adorable boy.

    how come the flyer for this event has a picture of pavarotti and a bunch of
    choir boys? shouldn't it feature ben? some kind of reference to his child acting career?

    i heard a rumor that he was a cute kid. tempus fugit.

    still, in a time when it is hard to find a bargain in brooklyn, paying $5 to
    see ben carlin viciously mocked for hours? priceless.

    Is this a bring your own throwin'-pie event (BYOTP), or will pies be provided at the roast?

    If you're bringing your own throwin' pie, you better have good aim 'cause I'll be on the dais in my finest polyesther and I really don't want to have to throw that in the washing machine...

    I don't know Bill. I bet any oldtimer will tell you that back in the day you could viciously mock him for nothing.
