| Event Description: |
With a subtle and intelligent comedic style, Jake Johannsen has become one of the most respected comedians to give the most common element new meaning. Not many comedians will devote six minutes to a single subject, especially one as seemingly mundane as a toaster or as strange as his conviction that extraterrestrials are working among us. Starring in his own HBO Comedy Special titled This'll Take About an Hour; he received an Ace Award nomination for best writing in an Entertainment Special. People Magazine's 1992 year end issue listed the Special as one of the Ten Best Television Shows, putting Jake in the same company as The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. Jake’s other television credits include HBO Young Comedian's Special and public television's Comedy Tonight series. He hosted Comedy Central's Two Drink Minimum and has appeared more than Forty times on The Late Show with David Letterman. Johannsen has established himself as one of the country's most prominent comedians and continues to headline across the country.
This is a benefit for several local charities! A wine and beer cash bar will be available before and during the show, catered by the Colgate Inn. |
