Dwayne Clark , Comic and Jonathan May-comedy magician

Friday November 21st

Come early for dinner, drinks and then stay for the show. $10.00 in advance, $15.00 day of show. Dwayne Clark -kay – figure this one out – he’s a guitar player with no song parodies, sing-a-longs, or Dylan impressions. He’s high-energy without playing “What’s your name – where are you from” with his audience. His material is intelligent, adult, yet inoffensive. He delivers his act with southern charm that doesn’t play to the stereotypes of the dumb southerner. It’s like Minnie Pearl and Tony Bennett had a baby (pardon the visual). With his infectious smile, and his undeniable charm, Dwayne steps onstage and delivers a show that every audience member will appreciate and leave with an uncontrollable craving for corn bread & caviar. “He had the audience falling out of their seats within minutes of taking the stage, and never let them regain their composure” Jonathan May -About Jonathan May: Full-time professional magician, is the Midwest’s most in-demand private and corporate entertainer, performing over 400 shows per year. This is your chance to enjoy and experience one of the most unique one-man shows around.

Don Reese and Darrin Meyer Comedy Show at Talk Shop Lounge

Friday November 28th

"IT CAME FROM IOWA!" Looking like the LOVE CHILD of Uncle Fester and Lurch, Don Reese combines what the Cleveland Plain Dealer calls 'friendly ghoulishness' mixed with 'sparks-flying timing' to create comedy that is uniquely and utterly his. Don's hilariously bizarre outlook hangs on the fine line between reality and the Twilight Zone. Don is a headliner in top clubs across the country. Don calls it "stand-up comedy for people that are tired of stand-up comedy". You'll call it hilarious $10.00 ADVANCE TICKETS, $15.00 DAY OF SHOW
