Old Jews Telling Jokes
"...As funny as Old Jews Telling Jokes is (and boy, it is the funniest thing Chicago has seen in years), more than any punchline, the show also emphasizes how important humor is as a tradition. It can bind generations together; make the most horrid of circumstances a bit more tolerable; and best of all, at a time when there is so much division in our collective humanity, know that we can all still share a unifying laugh. For that reason alone, go see Old (and not so old) Jews Telling Jokes." – Show Biz Chicago

John Hammond
at The Lyric Theatre Feb 19, 2015 7:00 pm
http://ls4.co/I5O
Grammy-nominated blues musician, John Hammond, arrives at The Lyric Theatre this February for an evening of soulful renditions of timeless blues classics. Heralded by the New York Times as a “blues legend with a voice like Robert Johnson’s,” Hammond reinterprets some of the blues’ most venerated compositions with originality and intensity. His raw, live performances showcase the musician’s genius combination of gritty vocals, slide guitar, and accompanying harmonica.
Born in New York City, John Hammond felt an immediate attraction to music, and specifically the guitar, as the son of the successful record producer John H. Hammond. With dreams of becoming a traveling blues singer, Hammond envisioned himself as a “one man, one guitar” kind of musician. Hammond, inspired by the music of Chuck Berry and Robert Johnson, quickly taught himself the guitar and continued his lessons through high school and college. By the 1960s, John Hammond was touring nationally and recording with a number of famous electric blues musicians in the New York area, including Eric Clapton and Jimi Hendrix. In fact, John Hammond has been credited with giving major recording groups such as The Band and Jimi Hendrix wider recognition.
Now, over 50 years since his first album debut, John Hammond has released over 34 albums and continues to tour tirelessly across North America. Hammond’s work has received both popular and critical acclaim across the world. The blues veteran has been nominated for four Grammy awards and received the 1985 Grammy award for his performance of “Blues Explosion,” which featured Steve Ray Vaughan, Koko Taylor, and many others. In 2011, Hammond was inducted into the Blues Hall of Fame. His newest album, entitled Timeless, celebrates his artistic milestone of reaching 50 years in the music industry. The album was recorded live at one of John Hammond’s favorite venues in the world, Chan’s in Woonsocket, Rhode Island.

So there's information you can take home that's helpful ... but the vast majority of the material feels like you're at a standup comedy show” - Peter Story, describing the show

Regis Philbin
at The Lyric Theatre Feb 15, 2015 7:00 pm
http://ls4.co/HiD
The recognizable and beloved face of Who Wants to be a Millionaire and Live! with Regis and Kelly, Regis Philbin returns to The Lyric Theatre this season for another night of crooner classics. The multi-talented entertainer covers major hits by some of his favorite singers, including Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, and Perry Como. Regis Philbin recreates the magic of the big band era with songs such as “Pennies from Heaven” and “You Make Me Feel So Young” accompanied by an orchestra.
Regis Philbin has been entertaining since birth. Growing up in the Bronx, Regis began working in the entertainment industry behind the scenes starting in the 1950s. His first big break was in 1962, when the Hollywood legend became an announcer on the The Tonight Show. A natural with words, Regis Philbin got his own talk show The Regis Philbin Show in San Diego, California, and later experienced his first major national exposure as Joey Bishop’s partner on the 1967 show The Joey Bishop Show. The rest is history, as Regis Philbin became the most sought after host in the industry. Most recently, Regis has co-hosted the wildly popular talk show Live! with Regis and Kelly For all of his time on television, Philbin has set the Guinness World Record for “Most Hours on Camera” with over 16,000 hours!
In addition to his role as a talk show host, Regis Philbin has also enjoyed great success as a game show host for a number of television series, including the long-running Who Wants to be a Millionaire and the first season of America’s Got Talent. After Dick Clark’s retirement in 2004, Regis replaced the legendary announcer’s role as host for the ABC New Years Eve special.
Regis Philbin has a way with words, both spoken and sung. His career as a musician and recording artist began in 1968 with the release of his first album, It’s Time for Regis! After 36 years away from the studio, Regis returned to record another album in 2004 entitled When You’re Smiling. Thankfully for us, Regis decided to continue his music career this time around, performing his signature crooning style for sold-out audiences across the country. His 2005 Christmas album featured guest performances by some of Regis’ closest friends, including Donald Trump and Steve Tyrell. This February, Regis will return to The Lyric Theatre for another magical night of music and song.
