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

Steve Sabo

Where: Ann Arbor Comedy Showcase

Date: 2007-06-09 20:00:00

Type:

No props. No guitar. No magic tricks. No juggling balls. No Ventriloquism. No funny voices OR silly songs... Just a man and a microphone -- with ATTITUDE to spare! STEVE has been described as a “dark light at the end of an even darker tunnel” and a “mental workout” by both fans and critics alike. He is one of a new breed of comics that “take no prisoners.” His honest and aggressive form of monology always leaves the audiences salivating for more... Agree or disagree ...you will ALWAYS remember STEVE SABO! A veteran of the club circuit for over 12 years, STEVE has woven an intricate web of humor that has garnered him thousands of fans from coast-to-coast. His razor-sharp wit will grab you by the throat and won’t let go until you are blue-in-the-face with laughter -- and gasping for more! STEVE IS the caffeinated voice of reason in a world devoid of reasons to laugh. He tackles the difficult subjects with agility and aplomb without walking the delicate line of race, religion or politics. He speaks from the gut (and his heart) with an honesty rarely seen in this modern world. Showtimes: 8:00 & 10:30pm Tickets: $8 in advance, $10 at the door Friday & Saturday 8pm shows are all non-smoking
