TKC NOTE: We're in between full updates right now and I think this logo looks pretty cool, so check a quick show promo from our friend Craig for this weekend . . .
Stand up and cheer for Michael Mack
At Stanford & Sons
Unless you are a fan of stand-up comedy, the name 'Michael Mack’ may have escaped your notice before today. He appears regularly on the ‘Bob and Tom Show’ and his music can be heard on XM Satellite Radio. He is a former winner of ‘America’s Funniest People’ and ABC’s ‘The Next Big Thing’. However, if that’s all you know of this amazing performer, you simply don’t know enough.
Some would compare him with a more modern day version of ‘Weird Al’ Yankovic. Mack’s best known for his song parodies where he visits hit singles from the 70’s through today turning the table with his clever lyrics and surprisingly strong sense of humor. Example, his newest parody involves Oscar Pistorius and his ‘accidental’ shooting of his wife through the bathroom door. Mike travels back and does a showcase on former pop celebrities like the Bee Gee’s explaining why their voices are so high, all tucked into lyrics set to the tunes of their hit songs.
What brings the house down every show is the final fifteen minutes of his act where he does ‘Faces of Rock’, a comedic tribute to the legends of rock and roll over the past fifty years. He becomes a human puppet doing parodies on everyone from Michael Jackson, Paul McCartney, Twisted Sister, Whitney Houston, A-Ha, Lady Gaga and Queen. I don’t mind spoiling the ending, because it’s a sight that is impossible to describe. Mack is in shape at 6’3” and places a black wig on his head and turns into a nearly nude Howard Stern. After that, he reveals a final surprise that brings the audience to their feet every single show.
Michael Mack is one of the most entertaining shows of the year, though he doesn’t have the name recognition of Jim Jeffries, TJ Miller, Lewis Black and other ‘hot’ talents that have graced the stage of Stanford’s at the Legends. He still matches up when it comes to talent and simply delivering the funny.
See Michael this Friday, Saturday and Sunday at Stanford & Sons. Call (913)400-7500 for tickets.

It's been a while since this blog was a press release dumping ground. Glad to see it's back in full force.
ReplyDeletesaw Mack at Overland Park. Fantastic show, really is, I'd go again but have to leave town. He's a blast.
ReplyDeleteYes loved his act, saw him on Kelly Jones today.
ReplyDeleteLike we can't figure out who 5:36 and 5:39 is?
ReplyDeleteGet rid of this jerk Tony. He sucks.
ReplyDeleteJust put a god damn ad on the sidebar (Stanford's Comedy Club) and kick his out the door. He just using you for self promotion anyway.
ReplyDeleteNo thanks, I'll stick to watching Norm MacDonald YouTube clips.
ReplyDeleteMcDonald and Mack are pretty damn funny. Good choices for this bummer weekend.
ReplyDeleteAgain brother you can't win for losing with some of these people huh.
ReplyDeleteSaw your lineup online. Strong. Only been to the new club once but plan to come see Bryan Callen in a few weeks.
ReplyDeleteYeah heard all about how a comic screwed up on Mix and cost them an advertiser Glazer. You should pay them for that, they help you out bitch.
ReplyDeletewow, LIKE A MODERN DAY WEIRD AL YANKOVIC?
ReplyDeleteWhats with the Westport rumor? you guys going there???
ReplyDeleteJesus. Make it at least a little transparent when you astroturf the comments.
ReplyDeleteWhile wilson/smartman wallow in
ReplyDeletelives long ago
Glazer makes things happen.
Glad to see you opening in westport.
Can't wait.
The KCC losers are crying as you
prosper while they just sit and sit and sit and sit and sit!
Good luck.
but he won't tell us how he cost mix money cause his comic was evil a few weeks ago. wtf Glazer.
ReplyDeleteReview of tonights show: my second time to Legends Stanford and Sons. The bar/lobby is too small for the crowds. The outdoor patio helps but not in the winter. Might want to add to bar area.
ReplyDeleteShowroom is impressive. A bit warm tonight. I liked the old Improv, but not as crazy about the new one in the back of the restaurant. Your place is classier. More of a theater feeling. Unique look. I'd like more of the movie seats and small tables.
The booths around the stage remind me of old Vegas. Nice long big stage. Not sure you need the movie screens showing the live show. Might want to show upcoming acts on the screens before the shows instead of the funniest videos thing.
Your bathrooms are bigger outside of showroom, the one inside is too small creates lines before show. You should consider adding another restroom.
Your menu is fun, food is decent, but hard to read menus in the club cause its so dark. Like the Pita Bread and dip, nice touch.
The stage is well lit, and the opening guy was decent, second guy pretty good, Michael Mack was Outstanding, more than I expected. He got a standing ovation at our show, the early show. Decent size crowd, not sold out.
Overall nice time, well run, good service. Just need more room in bar area. The showroom is a positive surprise.
Enjoyed it overall.
Thanks for the 411.
ReplyDeleteRemember Westports club, that was so great.
ReplyDeleteYup then Craig took it all away from his Dad and it ain't been worth a shit since.
ReplyDeleteNot true. Its been much better.
ReplyDeleteMr. Kessler
ReplyDeleteThanks for the nice review.
Jeff and Craig have done a great
job.
The headliner was very very good.
People love him.
And now they're opening another
location (hopefully)
Yet still we have the KCC losers
coming on here and trying to
tear the business down.
How shameful of the KCC losers to
try to tear anything down.
We know about chuckles.
We know that smartman has to sell
used hot tubs to make car payments.
And the other guys there have really nothing going on in their
lives so they take out their
frustration and hate on a successful businessman.
I understand that not everyone in the world can be successful. That's just the way
some people are. As they say.."no
guts..no glory".
The kcc guys even went after David
Cook who probably made millions off
the Idol show and probably doesn't
have to work another day in his
life.
Met him at one of his concerts for
mix 93. Got 100K for his show.
Not a bad days work. But the kcc
guys know one thing...hate/attack/
hate/attack.
Your nice review was really refreshing and shows that when
you work hard you can succeed.
We've eliminated the kcc boys for
the most part.
Now we can move to the positive
aspects of kc life.
Their hate/vulgar language/vile
comments are not welcome nor
will they be tolerated again.
So for wilson/chuckles/smartman/
super dave/...thanks but no thanks.
We'd rather you stay with hearne
and his blog and talk amongst
yourselves.
thanks kessler..nice of you to
come and defend the glazers.
Harley
(by the way I do not write under the real harley and I wish that
those who do would stop asap.)
I don't know what's more pathetic: Tony becoming a paid advertisement for some joke of a comedy club, or Glazer the troll planting comments on all of his own threads. Sad clowns.
ReplyDeleteI think the only planted commentts are the two or three haters who won't stop. My opinion of course.
ReplyDeleteharley's comments are real.
ReplyDeletelets keep the kcc haters off here
for good.
we ran them off for the most part now lets stamp them down like
roaches.
wilson/smartman/chuck/stupid dave...the rest of the kcc
haters can now get their
kicks on kcc...stay there..
you're not wanted...
all losers...and it can proved
beyond any doubt.
thanks glazer..
write on
Ugh, Glazer back in Westport? Like he didn't trash it enough the last time he was there? The joke will be on whoever let's him in.
