Reno Tahoe Comedy presents Tony D'Andrea September 10, 2011

Reno Tahoe Comedy presents laughter at the Pioneer Underground located on 100 South Virginia, St. in Reno, NV. Reno Tahoe Comedy offers a full bar and no drink minimum. Suggested age: 16 and over with parental guidance. We have two shows on Saturday September 10th; the first is at 8:00pm and the second is an R-Rated performance that begins at 10:00pm.

Your headliner for both shows is comedic legend, Tony D’Andrea. Tony’s act is a whirlwind tour of thoughts and impressions with stops at platforms even D'Andrea doesn't realize are on the itinerary. He's from the old school where material comes from creativity and talent, not requiring shock value to sustain it. And while, the jokes, skits and gags can come at you from all angles, they can also be delivered subtly. Borrowing from masters like Jack Benny, D'Andrea can, when he feels it's needed, make people laugh without saying a word. Impressions mixed with stand-up. It's a formula that has gained favor with comedy fans for they get a lot of bang for their buck. When you go to see D'Andrea, you also get Nicholson, Pesci, and a whole lot more.

Your host for the 8:00pm show is comedian Danwise. Danwise was a high school theater dork who recently decided to re-awaken his inner actor by taking improv classes. His comedic style uses heavy doses of sarcasm and can always find the absurd in every day life. As a Reno native, Danwise likes to poke fun at his town and those around him, his girlfriend and family. A local favorite on the stand up circuit, he is easy to find most nights at open mic's in downtown Reno. Danwise enjoys nothing more than entertaining an audience on stage.

Carla Rea will be the performing in the guest spot for both shows. An accomplished comedian with over 20 years of comedy club, TV, and radio experience, (Late Night with Conan O’Brien, Evening at the Improv, Showtime and Comedy Central) Carla is sure to keep you laughing!

You host for the 10:00pm performance is comedian Wayne Walsh. Wayne is a fast-paced comic whose clever material pushes the limits of edgy. His style is shockingly funny and thought-provoking in that “did he really say that?” kind of way. Wayne’s commanding stage presence keeps him one of Northern Nevada’s favorite local comics and a highlight of tours across the western United States. Experiences growing up in rural towns, serving time in the Air Force, and living in the Biggest Little City in the World allow Wayne to connect with people of all backgrounds.
