Comedy Jazz Man

By Whats On Staff | 01/27/2012 | Onstage 0 Comments

In the late ’80s, Bob Saget became a household name as affable everyman Danny Tanner on ABC’s “Full House.” These days, Saget is known more for being himself—from the memorable “Comedy Central Roast of Bob Saget,” to his wickedly funny turn on HBO’s “Entourage,”—as well as for unleashing his dark humor on the stand-up stage. Saget performs at The Orleans Jan. 27-28. As a monologist who says what’s on his mind, Saget’s act is always a surprise for the audience.

Fans of country superstar Trace Adkins know that all those “Songs About Me” are really songs about them, and that’s just part of his mass appeal.

The winner of five Academy of Country Music and Country Music Television awards, Adkins released his newest album Proud To Be Here, featuring the charming hit tune, “Just Fishin,’” in August.
