THE CANTON CULTURAL CENTER FOR THE ARTS PRESENTS DRY BAR COMEDY ROADSHOW

with RICKY GLORE , MICHAEL CHESELKA and DAVID KAYE

Dry Bar Comedy is not for everyone. If you crave foul language, dirty jokes, and “woke” political commentary, you might want to skip this hilarious comic production brought to you by Krackpots comedy Club in Massillon, Ohio.

On the other hand, if you want to watch accomplished comedians ply their stand-up art minus offensive elements, Dry Bar is the way to go.

Just because something’s inoffensive doesn’t mean it lacks depth or sophistication. Dry Bar Comedy is a challenge for comedians for two reasons: They have to avoid the temptation to descend to cheap, dirty humor, and the material has to be funny, period. No excuses.

RICKY GLORE

Ricky Glore’s second album World’s Greatest Dad (Participant) released by Comedy Dynamics can be heard on numerous Sirius XM stations, and you can watch his DRY BAR COMEDY SPECIAL Dad Bod on all streaming platforms. Ricky has appeared on THE BOB & TOM SHOW and was the head writer of the nationally syndicated #ExplainAMoviePlotBadly commercials that aired on the IFC network.

MICHAEL CHESELKA

Michael spent more than 15 years touring all 50 states and 17 foreign countries as a headlining comedian. His career spanned comedy clubs, colleges, cruise ships and cable-TV including appearances on HBO, Showtime, various sitcoms and several motion pictures. He began his career at the infamous Comedy Store in Los Angeles, and toured with the late Sam Kinison as one of the “Outlaws of Comedy.”

DAVID KAYE

DAVID KAYE: Audiences laugh out loud, as David Kaye shares side-splitting tales of his dysfunctional family affairs, and blue-collar upbringing in Pittsburgh, PA.†As the last child born to a Polish steel mill worker and a Ho Jo’s waitress, his wry recollections of life as the “baby brother” are candidly funny. “I grew up believing that my parents were not prejudice people. However, looking back at all the beatings I took as a child, I now realize my parents hated white children.”

David’s tongue-in-cheek observations have continued to set off boisterous laughter and applause in corporate boardrooms, college rathskellers, and smoky nightclubs throughout the country for over fifteen years. A former mechanical engineer and more recently, trained thespian, Kaye smartly lampoons life with countless comical vignettes. Acting as narrator and cast, he morphs into a one man comedy troupe using manic mannerisms, outlandish dialects, and contorted facial expressions to convey vividly funny living snapshots of his many off-the-wall characters.

David Kaye’s many credits include performances with Weird Al Yankovic, Richard Jeni, David Brenner, and Drew Carey. Along with television appearances on ABC, Comedy Central, dozens of commercials and industrial films, and a starring role in the independent film,”Creep”.
