It’s the much anticipated return of this jokester who is a regular performer on the hugely popular syndicated radio show – “The Bob and Tom Show,” performing regularly on the “Bob & Tom Comedy Tour” playing at theatres all across the country. We are dam lucky to get this hilarious comedian at the Comedy Showcase as he is mostly working theaters, the mark of a very established and popular comedian. He’s an ex-cop - the kind of cop that most people hope for when they get pulled over. His rebel attitude transfers to the stage as he takes issues in everyday life and turns them into hilarious observations leaving audiences gasping for breath. You may have seen him in the movie “A League of Their Own,” or maybe you’ve seen him on TV performing on TNN, “Comic View”, Comedy Central, NBC and FOX TV. If not, you MUST SEE him live this week at the Comedy Showcase. Showtimes: 8:00 & 10:30 pm Tickets: $12 in advance, $14 at the door Friday & Saturday 8pm shows are all non-smoking
