Comedian Impersonator Brad Zinn
Comedian Impersonator Brad Zinn in “The Great Comedians” is a heartfelt salute to his childhood comedy heroes. Comedian Impersonator Brad Zinn does dead on impersonations of George Burns, Jack Benny, Johnny Carson, and Will Rogers, Groucho Marx, Jimmy Durante, George Jessel, Fred Allen, and Red Skelton.
Comedian Impersonator Brad Zinn’s show includes plenty of comedy, music, juggling, magic, rope spinning, audience participation, and extended impersonations. The show begins with Comedian Impersonator Brad Zinn’s own comedy and interactions with the audience, followed by a memorable “Tonight Show” visit with Carnac the Magnificent (Johnny Carson) that leads smoothly into a visit from the inventor of the “topical monologue” – Will Rogers. Will enters spinning a rope and regales the audience with witty observations from the world of current events, circa 1932. Amazingly, Will’s folksy satire sounds as though it could have been ripped straight from today’s headlines!
Next is an uncanny recreation of George Burns. George talks about his early years in show business up to the point when he met and married Gracie Allen and they became an instant success. George finishes with a poignant “Say 
goodnight, Gracie.” Gracie’s voice is heard to cheerily reply, “Goodnight!”
The only person that can follow George Burns is of course, his old friend, Jack Benny. Jack (as portrayed by Comedian Impersonator Brad Zinn) strolls onstage with horn rimmed glasses and violin in hand. He tells an hilarious tale about being made a fool of in a hotel casino and ends with his famous violin solo, “Love in Bloom”.
The show’s rousing finale is an original song, written by Brad and friend Bill Swayze, “The Great Comedians.” The song includes segments highlighting W. C. Fields, Groucho Marx, Fred Allen, Jimmy Durante, Ed Sullivan, George Burns, Red Skelton, and many others.
Comedian Impersonator Brad Zinn’s The Great Comedians is a 45 to 90 minute one man show of comedy, music, song, juggling, magic and impressions that is aimed at American audiences aged 40 and above. Younger folks are encouraged to attend with their parents or grandparents!
The show requires minimal staging and lights, and can be presented with recorded music tracks or up to a six piece live orchestra. Comedian Impersonator Brad Zinn’s wife Brenda is the sound engineer, stage manager and an inseparable part of the program. She also performs Vaudeville style Sand Painting as a pre-show warm up.
