Adam Ferrara Reveals the Hilarious ‘Bat-S— Crazy’ Tale About Aunt Mona in Exclusive I-95 Interview
The Ridgefield Playhouse will host a special benefit for Habitat for Humanity on Thursday, January 16, 2025. The evening’s entertainment will feature the hilarious stand-up comedian and actor Adam Ferrara, known for his roles in hit TV shows like Rescue Me, Nurse Jackie, and Top Gear.

Before Adam hits the stage, we had the opportunity to catch up with him about the upcoming show and his incredible career. Here’s our favorite moment from the conversation.
Lou: You've been part of a lot of successful projects like Rescue Me, Nurse Jackie and Top Gear but there is a flipside to that. You played Stan on the 1999 reboot of The Love Boat called The Next Wave.
Adam: "Yes, I did, baby! OK, I've got two stories. They offered me the part, and my agent at the time said, 'I don’t think we should take this role.' I said, 'Listen, I need my insurance.' I agreed with your assessment, but I don't need fame—I need a root canal, and this will pay for it, so I’m taking the gig.
So, that show was with Robert Urich. I was a kid, right? My Aunt Mona was the hairdresser on Spencer for Hire. Yeah, it was a hundred years ago. So, I get the gig, and I’m standing there, I've got one scene at the end where I’m standing next to Robert Urich. I waited for my opportunity. You know, you don’t want to be a fanboy.
'Mr. Urich, it’s a pleasure to be here. My Aunt Mona was your hairdresser on Spencer for Hire.'
He says, 'Ah, that’s wonderful. She’s a wonderful person. She’s a little eccentric.'
I’m like, 'Well, you're being a gentleman, sir. We think she's bat-shit crazy!'"
