Smothers Brothers
Wow! This was a fabulous show. The Smothers Brothers careers span over fifty years and attending their show proved that they really know how to entertain.
The opening act of Chris Bliss http://www.chrisbliss.com/ was amazing and who know that juggling was still in style. Although the entire show is listed as family friendly some of his antics were pushing the line, but still entertaining.
The Smothers Brothers 90 minute show at the Orleans Casino www.orleanscasino.com was full of comedy, music, the famous "Yo-Yo Man", and a tribute of how they got to where they are today. They are from a generation of how entertainment has shaped what is done in mainstream today and everyone should experience these icons at least once.
