SUMMARY:Jack Tucker Off Broadway - "The One Man Theatric Comedy Show"
DESCRIPTION:Broadway comes to The Bend!\n“Zach Zucker is a pathologically talented comic who expertly combines his razor-sharp timing with clowning physicality…. Jack Tucker is a work of genius”\n– Bruce Dessau\, Beyond the Joke\nJack Tucker\, created by award-winning performer and producer Zach Zucker\, is a comedic character fighting to save his marriage\, regain his son’s respect\, and do whatever it takes to hit the big time. Often shoeless and inexplicably soaking wet\, Tucker is a blend of inspiration from iconic performers like Andy Kaufman and Robin Williams\, and the absurdist “anti-comedy” of Tim Heidecker and Sacha Baron Cohen\, with whom Zucker shares training from the École Philippe Gaulier clown school in France. This character is a modern twist on timeless physical comedy and vaudevillian performances\, positioning Zucker as a key figure in the new generation of must-see entertainers.

SUMMARY:Comedy at The Bend with Greg Warren
DESCRIPTION:Comedy at The Bend featuring Greg Warren\nGreg Warren recently released his special The Salesman\, co-produced by Nate Bargatze and 800 Pound Gorilla Media. The project tells the story of his post-college phase when he had a stint selling Jif and Pringles for Procter & Gamble which eventually led to his decision to become a full-time comedian. According to The New York Times\, Greg “…has done for peanut butter what Jerry Seinfeld did for Pop-Tarts and Jim Gaffigan did for Hot Pockets.” An honest mix of self-deprecation\, frustration and an arsenal of lifelike characters highlight Greg’s colorful perspective. \nHe can be seen in his Amazon Prime Special\, “Where The Field Corn Grows”\, Fish Sandwich on Dry Bar Comedy\, Late Night with Seth Meyers\, The Late Late Show and Comedy Central Presents. Greg attracts a diverse audience spectrum\, having performed as a finalist on BET’s Coming to the Stage and on Country Music Television.

Greg’s comedy has been a daily staple on Sirius/XM’s Laugh USA and Jeff and Larry’s Comedy Roundup channels for a decade. You can hear him guesting on podcasts like Nateland\, Never Not Funny\, Bertcast\, Dumb People Town\, The Adam Carolla Show and many more. He’s performed as a New Face of Comedy at JFL\, on Comedy Central’s Premium Blend and NBC’s Last Comic Standing. \nGreg hails from St. Louis\, MO\, where his father was a high school wrestling coach and his mother made him play clarinet in the band. He has captivated audiences with anecdotes about the conflict inherent in meshing the two disparate high school identities of varsity wrestler and band geek. Greg was also a West Point Cadet\, where he distinguished himself by amassing an impressive tally of demerits and endless hours of pointless marching. After moving on to the University of Missouri\, he studied journalism and became an All-American college wrestler. \nDoors open at 6:30 PM to give you time to find your seats\, visit our historic lobby\, concession stand and fully stocked bar! \nShow begins at approximately 7:30 PM \n**Comedy Disclaimer: Comedy is subjective.
