SUMMARY:ANDREW DICE CLAY: LIVE ON STAGE WITH SPECIAL GUEST CHRISTY MILLER
DESCRIPTION:ANDREW DICE CLAY is proud to be one of America’s most controversial and outrageous comics. And it’s that persona that has made him a Rock and Roll\, Comedy Legend. When he released his debut album\, Dice\, the parental advisory label simply read “Warning: This album is offensive.” Despite media backlash\, Dice’s rise to fame was nothing less than meteoric\, creating “Dicemania”. He became the first comedian to sell out Madison Square Garden two nights in a row\, as well as sporting arenas all across the country and was the only performer ever “Banned For Life from MTV.” \nIn 1992\, Dice performed in front of the largest audience ever by a comedian at that time\, when he shared the stage with Guns & Roses at the Rose Bowl and most notably for his recurring role on the final season of Entourage\, when he starred to great critical acclaim alongside Cate Blanchett and Alec Baldwin in Woody Allen’s Blue Jasmine\, Martin Scorsese’s Vinyl and most recently in the award winning\, blockbuster hit\, A Star Is Born. His other notable TV credits are The Celebrity Apprentice\, where he is proud to have been the first celebrity thrown off the show that season and his Showtime series\, for two seasons\, called Dice\, which was very loosely based on his own life.

SUMMARY:Comedian Joe Avati – When I Was Your Age
DESCRIPTION:Internationally renowned for his inimitable style Avati\, who is Australian born with an Italian heritage\, is a master of treading the very fine line saying what everyone seems to think but no one dares to say whilst not resorting to the use of profanities or vulgar shock tactic routines in doing so. In his latest offering WHEN I WAS YOUR AGE… he tackles the ‘then versus now’ generational differences of today’s kids\, the complexities of modern-day parenting compared to the strict upbringing of yesteryear and threaded throughout all of this he tackles the minefield of cancel culture\, the woke brigade and why people are over political correctness. His observations are not only deadly accurate but extremely relatable to all ages.\nThis is a show for all the family. Bring your parents to highlight how much they have changed since they were your age\, bring your friends to laugh and reminisce about growing up as teenagers when you were that age and most importantly bring your kids so that they know what you went through “when I was your age…”

SUMMARY:Bourbon ‘N Brass Comedy Night\, Speakeasy Style featuring Jeanie Doogan
DESCRIPTION:It’s Comedy Night\, Speakeasy Style in Bourbon ‘N Brass!  Join us for lite bites\, drinks and lots of laughs with Comedian Jeanie Doogan.\nJeanie started her career at the tender age of five when she quickly learned that as the youngest of eight children she needed a hook if she ever wanted to be fed\, bathed\, or have her existence acknowledged in any way. Failing miserably at tap dancing\, Irish dancing\, gymnastics\, and academics\, she carved out her comedy niche with kick-ass knock-knock jokes and soon rose to fame at the family dinner table with such classics as: “knock-knock.” “knock-knock.” “knock-knock! Open the door! You left me outside again!” Since her kitchen table debut\, Jeanie has entertained audiences at colleges\, casinos\, and corporate events\, and is a regular at venues such as  Zanies Comedy Clubs\, The Laugh Factory\, and The Comedy Bar. She was highlighted in Chicago Parents’ Magazine’s Four of Chicago’s Funniest: Stand Up Parents\, and was featured on Team CoCo’s House All Star Showcase\, and Nick Jr.’s Moms’ Night Out debut stand up special.\nJeanie has set herself apart with her quick observations and no-apology take on teaching\, parenthood\, and American culture. Her sharp wit draws on her experiences growing up on the South side of Chicago and 20 years as a public-school teacher to deliver comedy that reaches audiences of all walks of life.

SUMMARY:Jim Belushi – Board of Comedy
DESCRIPTION:“We are not stand-up comedians. Our show is not a passive\, sit-back-and-watch experience. Most of the fun we have on stage comes from our inclusion of the audience – we get suggestions from them to begin each scene we perform\, and in certain instances\, bring them on-stage with us to add to our performance. It’s less a ‘show’ and more a party. At least it feels like one to me. This group of actors brings me right back to how I started out in comedy – maybe that’s why we have so much fun doing it.” – Jim Belushi\nWith more than thirty years of experience and an alumnus of “Saturday Night Live” and Chicago’s famed Second City\, JIM BELUSHI is now bringing to the stage an improvised comedy sketch show featuring members of the Board of Comedy.\nand. Accompanying Belushi are Megan Grano\, Larry Joe Campbell\, Brad Morris\, and Joshua Funk*\, all of whom are classically trained professional improvisers who tour regularly nationwide.\n*Supporting cast may be subject to availability
