An Evening of Laughter and Memories of Sinatra from standup comedian Tom Dreesen
In this intimate unforgettable performance of stand-up comedy and storytelling, Tom Dreesen will take you from his childhood of shining shoes in Harvey, Illinois, hearing Sinatra on the jukebox to one day touring the nation as his opening act, flying in his private jet all over the country and staying up with Frank till dawn, night after night. He takes you to Frank's last performance and the last song he ever sang, and then his last days on earth. Dreesen was a pallbearer, as well as speaker at his friend's funeral.
Dreesen's keen insight to arguably the greatest career show business has ever known, and the lessons he learned from the legendary star, promises to move the audience night after night.
WHAT THE CRITICS ARE SAYING!
RICK KOGAN of the Chicago Tribune:
"BRILLIANT, FUNNY, POIGNANT."
DENNIS MCCARTHY Columnist Daily News, Los Angeles:
"ONLY A GUY WHO TRAVELED WITH SINATRA FOR 14
YEARS AND STOOD IN THE WINGS WATCHING HIM WORK
HIS MAGIC NIGHT AFTER NIGHT TO PACKED HOUSES
COULD PULL OFF A SHOW LIKE THIS."
"IT'S FILLED WITH FUNNY JOKES AND POIGNANT
STORIES ABOUT BEING ON THE ROAD WITH THE
CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD THAT YOU WONT HEAR
ANYPLACE ELSE."
THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER:
"DREESEN IS A REAL PRO, AND ONE WHO CAN
SIZE UP AN AUDIECE IN AN INSTANT. HE IS COOL,
CONTEMPORARY AND TOPICAL,AND YOU CAN TELL BY
HIS EXPERT PACING THAT HE IS SURE OF HIMSELF
AND HIS MATERIAL."
