These three nights of fun feature a trio of comedians - Tim Haldeman, Kenny Bob Davis, and Michael Pace - all in return engagements. Kenny Bob Davis is a veteran comedian and singer who plays guitar. He’s also a seasoned actor, comedy writer, and improvisation specialist who loves to golf, ridesmotorcycles, and do cartoon voices. He’s appeared in movies and on television in Mad TV, Murder She Wrote, and The Comedy Shop. Davis has been described as “a very hip countrified George Carlin.” He’s from Burbank, Calif., but most people think he s from Texas. Because he incorporates music with his comedy, it’s hard to tell if he’s a singing comedian or a comic singer. He’s opened for such performers as Kenny Rogers, Larry Gatlin, Vince Gill, and Willie Nelson. He’s a regular in Las Vegas and Lake Tahoe, and does many corporate events. Whether you know it or not, you’ve probably seen Tim Haldeman. Among his credits are his engagements at the original Improvisation in Hollywood and its satellite clubs nationwide. You’ve seen him on A&E’s Evening at the Improv, and Showtime’s Comedy Club Network. He’s also shared the stage with B.B. King, Natalie Cole, and Simply Red. A pliable face sets Haldeman apart from the crowd. His facial expressions are to punch lines what Silly Putty is to comic strips. An audience can’t miss his point when he starts rolling his eyes. Michael Pace has appeared in more than 100 television shows and movies, including The West Wing, Malcolm in the Middle, ER, Once and Again, The Drew Carey Show, Sabrina The Teenage Witch, and Third Rock From The Sun. Pace has developed a stand-up routine that he’s performed across the country, including sold-out shows in Las Vegas and Atlantic City. Four shows are scheduled: 9 p.m. on Aug. 29 and Aug. 31, and 7 p.m. and 9:30 p.m. on Aug. 30. A no-host bar will be available. Tickets, priced at $ 12, are available at the box office.
