Two New York comedians see the lighter side of the bitter dispute between Buffalo personal-injury duo Ross Cellino and Stephen Barnes.
Comedians Michael Breen and David Rafailedes have written their own play, “Cellino v. Barnes,” in which they portray the feuding lawyers. After performances in Buffalo and Los Angeles, the two-man show, directed by Hayley Huntley, is set to play Aug. 3 at the Bell House in Brooklyn.
When reached for comment, Cellino said his siblings told him they enjoyed the show and he plans to see it this year. Barnes didn't return a request for comment.
