ROBERT G. LEE
MARK SCHUMACHER – DOUG STARKS – MARIANNE CONNORS
It’s April and time for some laughs at the Z Playhouse that you’re sure to love!
Back by popular demand is funny man Robert G. Lee. Robert is already known in the entertainment industry as Hollywood’s top warm-up comic. This veteran of 1,000 episodes of such shows as The New Adventures of Old Christine, Just Shoot Me, Becker and The Drew Carey Show is considered to be the reigning king in this very specialized profession. His job is to keep countless audiences entertained between scenes and costume and set changes with rapid-fire ad-libs and humorous interviews. No stranger in front of the camera either, Robert has written, produced and starred in six stand-up comedy specials and has been seen on the Bananas Comedy series, on Showtime’s The Joke’s On Thee, VH1’s Stand Up Spotlight, Comic Strip Live and a variety of roles on such sitcoms as Wings and Perfect Strangers.
Joining Robert is our good friend Mark Schumacher. In 2015 Mark was selected as one of the top 100 comedians in the country and performed on NBC’s Last Comic Standing. He’s been featured in the Orange County Register and written comedy for the Los Angeles Times. His unique experiences teaching – abroad for elementary students and in California as a high school teacher – in addition to traveling all over the world provide endless laughs. Educators and fans of all ages relate to Mark’s cleaner, smarter style.
Rounding out the evening of laughter is multi-talented, Doug Starks. If you combine the comedic styling of Robin Williams and Eddie Murphy, throw in the smooth singing voice of Johnny Mathis, add the tap-dancing skills of Gene Kelly and the musical talents of Wayne Newton, you’ve just entered the world of Doug Starks.
Our big show on April 5 will be hosted by the very talented Marianne Connors. While relatively “new” to the world of stand-up, Marianne’s clean and honest look at everyday life makes her a must see at comedy clubs and events. As a retired school teacher, her quick sense of humor kept her alive and sane for the many years she “performed” in front of a classroom filled with unruly students. Now doing comedy full time, Marianne talks about a wide range of topics audiences of all ages can relate to.
Get your tickets early as this show will fill up quickly and get ready to Lass Your Aff Off!!
