Long before computers, answering machines, and cell phones there was a time that was part of all of us. Instead of drive-thrus, there were drive-ins. Coke wasn't "Classic" and it came from a fountain or it's a green glass bottle. And the only survivor series on TV consisted of Gilligan and his crew. Times have changed but have we? Do you still remember the first record you owned? How about sitting around the radio instead of the television? And EVERY night was a classic car cruise! Was it really that long ago? Randy entertains his audiences with stories, gun-slinging, dancing, and pantomime. His observational humor about the era is complimented with over 50 impersonations and a special tribute to veterans. As a seasoned veteran of the comedy scene since 1982 and as a nationally touring comedian, Randy's combination of innovative style, quick wit, and brilliant impressions has made him popular with all types of audiences for many years. He currently tours the nation with three different shows. The "Nostalgia Show" is a 2-hour multi-media show that pays a comedic tribute to the 1950's and 60's. PURCHASE YOUR TICKETS
