Mickey Who? = Mickey Loesch = Comedy Guru

 

Mickey has revolutionized comedy utilizing snappy repartee from sidekicks with an innovative multi-microphone format. A trampoline and a rubber chicken named Lloyd are also incorporated into the frenzy!!
Mickey has entertained audiences by hosting and producing his own stand-up comedy showcase including a "Pro Staff" of regular performers in a concert style setting... Performed and produced hundreds of shows ... keeping track not unlike that of McDonalds. The shows feature and are built around Mickey's own stand-up routine!

Mickey's style can be mellow to maniacal as his refreshing funny "off-kilter" and especially clean comedy style leaves a lasting impression on any audience... Not unlike that of a branding iron.

Mickey's Live show production experience also gives him a vast understanding of promotion, advertising, sales, target marketing and public relations...

Mickey simply gives his audience what they want... So they keep coming back for more!

Ticket Price: $30.00
Wine and Cheese Hour 6:00PM
Performance 7:00PM

This special concert will feature renowned Jazz Pianist Rio Clemente, "The Bishop Of Jazz" and other Special Guests. A portion of the proceeds will go to benefit the Marine Corps League of NJ.

Artist Information:

Rio Clemente "The Bishop of Jazz" - Master Jazz Pianist Anyone who has listened to Rio Clemente play piano, comes away in awe. This master pianist mixes a strong classical background with rich knowledge of jazz history, then adds an amazing sense of creativity and interpretation. The result is music that is different from others, and nearly always produces a standing ovation and cries for “more.” When reviewers stumble for words to describe his work, it’s because words fail to convey the rich depth of character, nimble facility of play and ease with which his music is crafted and performed. The man brings something very special and decidedly unequaled to the piano.
