A note from our pal Craig on his big weekend plans . . .
Owen Benjamin Will Dazzle You At Stanfords
His comedy career began with being the wild and crazy young comic on Punk'd that would end up in the Tabloid news for being 'the' man in Nicole Richie's life. Owen Benjamin had gone from a classic pianist to being a naughty comic headlining clubs across America. His life would soon change.
Jay Leno saw Owen on one of his comedy specials and decided to have him on as a weekly correspondent doing electric piano in studio and on the street with Improv commercials about people and places he would meet and be a part of that night. Result was awesome. Owen stayed with Jay til near the end of his run on the Tonight Show in 2012, four years straight.
The Tonight Show success led Benjamin to getting a starring role in the TBS series, Sullivan and Son with Asian/American comic Steve Byrne. The two of them landed what became the number one show on TBS for three years. Last year Owen got married, had a baby and is now doing comedy specials and writing a book about his crazy past relationships and how to 'not' screw up your love life. Benjamin's on stage act at Stanfords will include his comedy on electric piano and of course his stand up material. Its worth the trip. Benjamin will be at Stanfords tonite and Saturday shows at 745/945 pm. Hey if you want more comedy Stanford's has a new 'second room' next to the big stage for late night comedy on us to see are talent get their shot at 9:30 and 11:00 PM. Have dinner before any show our New Orleans chef John is outstanding.
Next week one of our favorite KC area guys comes home. James Johann who gained fame as the original opening star with the 'Blue Collar' tour starring Larry, Jeff Foxworthy, Ron White and Bill. James toured with the boys their first year and then went out and co starred with Larry the Cable Guy for a couple more including his show at Kemper in KC. Johann is everywhere today. He is national radio's 'Rural Genius.'
Stanfords is now at Rosana Square in Overland Park. Call 913 400 7500 for tix or online at stanfordscomedyclub.com. Have a nice weekend.

You can watch comedy on the Internetz no need to waste time going out.
ReplyDeleteTBS? HAHAHAHA Glazer you are the best joke the club has.
ReplyDeleteThese advertisements need to be clearly labelled as such in order to conform with Federal (libtard) law. It's probably RAYSHITZ too.
ReplyDeleteTop comic Bill Burr at Sprint Center this weekend.
ReplyDeleteSaw Bill at Stanfords in Westport, great act. So is Owen Benjamin. Great weekend. Craig its passover babe.
ReplyDeleteThe only thing that will "Dazzle" me about Stanfords would be if Overland Park Fire Dept was in front of it as flames were leaping out of the roof.
ReplyDeleteOur New Orleans chef John is outstanding.
ReplyDeleteDamn Glazer, you having sex with him? Is he showing you how to pack some fudge?
Glazer love how you beat the crap out of the TROLLS. YOU ARE MY HERO BROTHER.
ReplyDeleteI love you Craigy.
ReplyDeleteI did Barbie once she wasn't that hot, to be honest, felt like cold plastic fish wrap.
ReplyDeleteI always had hunch Glazer could only get blow up dolls for sex.
Indian, pleeeese wipe the Glazer baby batter off your chin. He isn't your brother. Tell you what, always remember this name, Don Woodbeck! That's the guy Glazer let get killed as he, Glazer, being the pussy he is, ran.
ReplyDeleteCraig and Jeff want to thank you for the great seats last night . Owen was one of the best. Has the Salmon with honey. Amazing. My folks couldn't come, Passover. Next time.
ReplyDeleteI'm a James Johann fan. You mentioned his show at Kemper a few years back. We were there to see Larry, James was every bit as good as the Cable Guy. I'm a bit surprised he isn't a tv star by now. Saw him at Legends loved it.
