Any amount he

Prepare to laugh until you cry when four of the world’
s most masterful improv artists take you on the high wire act of comedic a
crobatics. The rapid-fire wit and non-stop jokes will have your sides spli
tting and begging for mercy…and also begging for more. Scranton will welco
me Ryan Stiles and Greg Proops\, both seen on ABC’s “Whose Line Is It Anyw
ay?” as well as Jeff B. Davis and Joel Murray. If you are a “Whose Line?”
fan\, get ready for the same relentless laughter that you grew to love\, b
ut without the commercial breaks! If you are new to improv comedy\, then y
ou are in for a show unlike anything you have ever seen before. This parti
cular style of improvisational comedy is rife with countless gags\, one-li
ners\, hilarious games and even songs so good you will hardly believe they
were made up on the spot. The teamwork and trust that it takes to perform
a show with no script is apparent\, but when the best of the best do it\,
they do it effortlessly. Watch them build entire scenes\, characters\, an
d storylines right before your eyes as they take you on a white-knuckle ri
de through endless chuckles. Ryan Stiles’ television credits include roles
on “The Drew Carey Show” and “Two and a Half Men\,” while Greg Proops has
lent his vocal talents to animated characters in Star Wars: Episode 1\,Th
e Nightmare Before Christmas\, and Brother Bear. However\, both got their
start as comedians and are excited to return to their funny-bone-tickling
roots. Jeff B. Davis is also a highly experienced improv comedian and star
red in the cult classic cartoon series\, “Harmon quest.” He has also starr
ed in “Drew Carey’s Green Screen Show” and “Improv-a-Ganza\,” while gainin
g fame for his spot-on impressions of Christoper Walken\, Keanu Reeves\, a
nd Jeff Goldblum. Joel Murray is the youngest of the nine Murray brothers\
, including Bill Murray\, but has become a star in his own right. Though h
e has over 250 sitcom appearances\, he is best known for his recurring rol
es like Freddy Rumsen on “Mad Men” and Eddie Jackson on “Shameless.” He ha
s also appeared in One Crazy Summer\, The Artist\, Scrooged\, and Bobcat G
oldthwait’s God Bless America..

Justin Willman wants to melt your brain while making you laugh. He’s best
known as the star and creator of the hit Netflix series Magic For Humans.
But you may recognize him from one of his many television appearances (The
Tonight Show\, The Today Show\, Ellen\, Conan…). Or maybe you know his wo
rk as a host (Baking Impossible\; Cupcake Wars\; Win\, Lose or Draw…). Or
maybe he’s the child magician you hired in suburban St. Louis in the ‘90s.
If you don’t know Justin\, he’s a magician and comedian who’s mastered th
e art of turning cynics into believers (or at least getting them to laugh)
. His live show is simultaneously mind-blowing and hilarious\, and will li
kely keep you up at night wondering how the heck any of it was possible. J
ustin is also a proud father\, a loving husband\, and has zero experience
as a licensed boat mechanic (that’s a different Justin Willman).

GARRISON KEILLOR CRISSCROSSES TH
E U.S. WITH \nA PRAIRIE HOME COMPANION’S 50th ANNIVERSARY TOUR
\n<
p>Almost 50 years ago\, Garrison Keillor hosted the first broadcast of A P
rairie Home Companion\, and the perennially popular weekly radio show rema
ined on the air with its music\, comedy sketches\, and accounts of life in
tiny Lake Wobegon (where the women are strong\, the men are good-looking\
, and the children are all above average). \nSince the show ended\, t
he author and humorist has continued to take the stage at venues nationwid
e — much to the delight of legions of fans. \nIn the coming months\,
Keillor takes A Prairie Home Companion’s 50th Anniversary Tour across the
U.S.\, leading up to the half-century milestone in the summer of 2024.
\n
Each show packed with stories\, music\, the one-of-a-kind audience si
ng-along intermission\, Keillor’s musings on the topic of CHEERFULNESS\, a
nd the fan-favorite News from Lake Wobegon\, Joining Garrison are charming
singer-actor Christine DiGiallonardo\, dazzling vocalist Heather Masse\,
the ever-popular Royal Academy of Actors (Tim Russell\, Sue Scott\, and so
und-effects wizard Fred Newman)\, music director/keyboardist Richard Dwors
ky\, and others to be announced.
\n
Born in 1942 in Anoka\, Minnesota
\, Garrison Keillor developed a love of writing in childhood. “I started o
ut with a No. 2 pencil and pads of paper\, then acquired an Underwood manu
al typewriter with a faint F and a misshapen O\,” he says. Five years afte
r getting a job in public radio “doing the 6 a.m. shift Monday to Friday\,
because nobody else wanted to get up so early\,” he wrote a piece for The
New Yorker about the Grand Ole Opry and got the idea to launch A Prairie
Home Companion. \nThese days\, his in-person humor-filled shows are a
treat for folks young and not-so-young. He has written dozens of books —i
ncluding novels\, a book of sonnets\, a collection of limericks\, a memoir
\, a political homily\, and most recently\, Cheerfulness. His biweekly onl
ine column can be found on Substack.
Due to the nature of live e
vent bookings all performances\, dates\, times and prices are subject to c
hange without notice.
