“Hollywood’s southern-fried Florida Man delivers a dose of nostalgia, featuring musical numbers, characters and a one-of-a-kind multimedia experience. A living homage to American television hosts of the 60s and 70s – performers like Carol Burnett, Dean Martin and Kermit the Frog up-and-coming impresario Austin Laine Walker transports audiences to a time when comedy was just plain fun! His unique brand of dysfunctional family entertainment leaves the young in stitches and the old nostalgic. ‘A great evening of entertainment!’ (Tom Kenny, voice of SpongeBob).
