The Improv Comedy Club at Fantasy Springs Resort Casino heads into its first week with plenty of momentum. During the next several weeks, we welcome veteran comedians, including Fritz Coleman, Dat Phan, Kenny Bob Davis, Rondell Sheridan and Bob Zany.
Fritz Coleman will headline opening weekend, January 11th and 12th. Coleman is a Southern California broadcasting icon known for his sense of humor and extensive knowledge of weather. He is NBC4’s main weathercaster. A long-time stand-up comic, Coleman has performed at The Improvisation, The IceHouse and many other Southland comedy clubs. He has utilized his humor in a number of series and specials that have aired on NBC4 over the years.
Dat Phan headlines on January 18th and 19th. Phan is the original winner of NBC’s Last Comic Standing, and is a headlining comedian touring live across the U.S. He has made numerous TV and movie appearances including “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno”, “The Family Guy” voiceover, “Cellular”, and “The Tyra Banks Show”. The DVD “Dat Phan Live” was released in January 2010 and is available from Amazon.com. CD “You Touch, You Buy“is now available on itunes. Preproduction on a movie titled “Yellow Fever” is in the works.
Kenny Bob Davis headlines on January 25th and 26th. Davis started his career in show business as a folk-singer in the mid-sixties. It was within this atmosphere that he developed his heightened sense of audience rapport and interplay. Davis found that his quick wit and country charm were magic ingredients that could turn any audience into a group of friends. His act blossomed into a professional presentation of comedy, music and FUN! Kenny sings, plays guitar and banjo, and shares many of his real life zany characters with his audience: the zaniest being, himself.
Rondell Sheridan is the headliner on February 1st and 2nd. With a career that’s spanned almost 30 years, Sheridan has became a fixture on the stand-up circuit by headlining clubs, colleges and cruises all over the world. He has appeared on such shows as The Tonight Show with both Jay Leno and Johnny Carson, Late Night with Conan O’Brien, and many comedy specials on both Showtime and Comedy Central.
Bob Zany headlines on February 8th and 9th. At the tender age of fifteen, the native Southern Californian appeared on the infamous Gong Show. Halfway through his stand-up routine, which he read from a piece of paper, he was pulled off the stage by a man dressed like a nun wielding a net. Eleven years later, he made a triumphant return as a celebrity judge. This marked the first of over 100 appearances on national television.
