Sahara Comedy Stop Welcomes Phil Palisou, Mitchell Walters And Jackson Perdu
Three veterans of stand up comedy will take over the stage of the Comedy Stop in the Congo Room at the Sahara Hotel, Monday Sept. 21, for seven consecutive nights of laughter. Producer Bob Kephart has Phil Palisoul heading up the cast with Mitchell Walters and Jackson Perdue filling out the roster.
Palisoul is one funny dude, according to those who have reviewed him over the years. Mathew Berry, ESPN’s senior fantasy sports editor, said of Phil on his blog: “A guy no one has ever heard of, but Phil is a friend of mine and is absolutely hilarious.” This comment, by a friend, is not totally true, as Palisoul has appeared on many of the top television shows including: “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno,” “Comedy Central’s Premium Blend,” NBC’s “Last Comic Standing” and “The Rosie O’Donnell Show.” His amusement park routine is considered a classic as is most of his material: “Would you believe that I woke up one morning and I was bald….”
Mitchell Walters’ comedy has been said to be a fit for every man. From musings about relationships to family life, he keeps audience members in stitches. Walters has performed in almost every comedy club throughout Canada and the United States, and toured for three years as one of the “Outlaws of Comedy,” starring the late Sam Kinison. In addition to being a stand up comedian, Mitchell was an active joke writer for such shows as “Laverne & Shirley,” and “Rowan & Martin’s Laugh In.”
The youngster of the group, Jackson Perdue, grew up in San Diego, Calif., and was obsessed with baseball and dreamed of one day becoming a professional player. “The problem was I could field like Brooks Robinson, but I hit like Doris Day.” Jackson’s father was in the Navy when he married Kiyoko in Japan. Perdue talks about his cross cultural background in his act: “Dad would take me fishing and mom would eat the bait on the way there…” Perdue’s career as a stand up comedian was honed in the small open microphone clubs, before he was discovered by the owner of the famed Comedy Store in Hollywood. Jackson has been a regular performer ever since at the Store.
Showtime for the Comedy Stop, inside the Congo Room is 9 p.m. nightly.
