If you have ever wondered what my entertainment programs are all about, think "stand up comedy" for adults. I no longer do children's shows.

Back in 1946 I joined the American Guild of Variety Artists and became a professional emcee/entertainer. With few nightclubs in Indiana I played Elks, Eagles, Moose and American Legion Posts. Unless you are at least a full-fledged senior you may not know or remember that many private clubs had legal slot machines until 1953.

This paid for their entertainment programs. So, I was entertaining many years before my days in television.

If you are an entertainment chairperson for your church, lodge or organization, I do a comedy program, along with audience participation and songs. My church programs are all based on Christian humor. Many shows feature my take-off on the American Idol TV show. Yes, you could become a star! My programs run an average of 45 minutes.

I have a 12 minute video program of some old Harlow Three Stooges sketches, however I don't use it too often because of time limitations. If I have already been to your church or organization, I would appreciate coming back and including the video as part of the show. My program is fun and NOT silly slapstick left over from my Three Stooges days.

I only do adult programs now and do not do shows for children twelve and under except in a family setting. My audience is baby boomers and/or their senior parents. You might want to consider a December Christmas program or family program. I especially enjoy Mother/Daughter gatherings.

And, oh yes, I do programs for Red Hat Ladies.

I look forward to hearing from you and can be reached at 317/736-6140. I will make every effort to work within your budget.
