Sarge

at The Lyric Theatre Jan 23, 2016 7:00 pm

An accomplished vocalist, witty comedian, and talented pianist, there isn’t much Sarge can’t do. Combining his musical talents with his knack for comedy, the Florida native has been featured prominently on major television networks including HBO and Comedy Central. Always a favorite at The Lyric Theatre, Sarge is back again this season for another night of unforgettable hilarity.

The son of a Jewish mother and black father, Sarge was born in Florida. Shortly after he was born, Sarge was put up for adoption, eventually being taken in and raised by a couple in Long Island, New York. A natural at the piano from a young age, Sarge developed a passion for music in his early childhood. However, growing up, the entertainer struggled with drug abuse and homelessness, eventually finding peace in 1990 and quitting his addiction cold turkey. Invigorated by his recovery and hoping to share his story, Sarge decided to spend his life devoted to helping others struggling with addiction. This period in his life was critical in leading him towards comedy, as he learned to cope with difficult situations through laughter.

Now, a successful comedian, Sarge has headlined at some of the biggest venues in the United States, including the Radio City Music Hall. Throughout his career, the comedian has opened for major recording artists such as Aretha Franklin and The Beach Boys, combining his musical and comedic talents to create a show with a little bit of something for everybody. A multi-talented singer, musician, and comedian, Sarge is not to be missed, so be sure to see Sarge this season at The Lyric Theatre.
