**SPECIAL ENGAGEMENT** Laugh in the New Year with this hilarious comedy coup debut!!! Bringing his unique act to comedy clubs, theaters, and corporate events from coast to coast, Cash Levy has a proven track record for funny. If you missed Cash on Fox Sports or haven’t bought his newly released comedy CD, TIDBITS, you’re probably familiar with seeing his show on Comedy Central’s Premium Blend, or The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson on CBS. Cash can also be heard daily on XM Radio, Sirius Radio and has entertained on the Bob and Tom Show. When Larry Gelbart (creator of the hit TV series M.A.S.H.) saw Cash’s show at the Hollywood Improv, Larry told him “ I love your work” and a week later Cash was cast in the ABC pilot entitled The Larry Gelbart Project. Cash has worked with such great acts as Chris Rock, George Lopez, and Tim Allen. He has been playing to sold out comedy clubs around the country for over 10 years and just finished a world tour for the U.S.A. Armed Forces. Cash is also known as one of the finest improvisers in the country. He uses this skill to interact with the audience, whether in a club or in front of a corporate crowd - spontaneously creating jokes about that particular audience with his rare ability to play off the crowd. The Seattle Post-Intelligencer called Cash “A major talent” and told its readers “Don’t miss this act!” We just call him “Hilarious.”. Late show includes party favors and a split of champagne at midnight. 10:30 show-$30

The classically-trained Bobby McFerrin, perhaps best known in the mainstream for 'Don't Worry, Be Happy,' performs solo vocal improvisations of all styles including jazz, scat, classical and nursery rhymes. After early gigs with avant-gardists, drummer Jack DeJohnette joined the John Coltrane Quintet in 1966 and went on to collaborate with Ornette Coleman, Sonny Rollins, Thelonious Monk, Bill Evans, Stan Getz, Keith Jarrett, Chet Baker, George Benson and many more. DeJohnette joined Miles Davis's group in 1968 which kicked off associations with fellow bandmates Keith Jarrett, John McLaughlin, Chick Corea and Dave Holland. For more than 35 years, Chick Corea has been one of the most significant jazz pianists. Not content at any time to rest on his laurels, he continues to explore different musical territories, from acoustic jazz to electronic and world music influences.
