Gordie Brown Tickets

Gordie Brown is usually billed as an impressionist, comedian, and singer (not necessarily in that order) and he's very good at all three, as well as very good at being very funny. A native of Montreal, Canada, his first stop on the road to make it was Las Vegas, and he's still a beloved comedian there after all these years.

Brown was also a political cartoonist for the Ottawa Sunday Herald newspaper, but realized he wanted to be funny off the funny pages, and headed out to Vegas with $3,000 in his pocket.

Brown knew there were two fellow Canadians that had hit the big time in Vegas, Paul Anka and Rich Little, and his goal was to work with both. Less than two years after hitting the town, he met his goal and was opening for both his Canadian brothers Paul Anka and Rich Little.

Years later, Anka himself would remark, 'Gordie Brown is not only talented, but his performances are unique and refreshing, a step above most others who call themselves comedians.'

Brown then he moved on to open for a variety of other entertainers and singers, including Jay Leno, Kenny Rogers, Randy Travis, Barry Manilow, Jerry Seinfeld and more.

Can't Keep Gordie Brown Down

The next stop for Brown was Los Angeles, where he performed on A&E's Evening at the Improv, and caught the eye of Improv founder Budd Friedman, who took a real shine to the young comic. Brown also became the host of NBC's Friday Night Videos, and also appeared on Pax TV's Twice in a Lifetime, as well as Hollywood Squares.

Brown keeps up a strong work ethic performing over 100 shows a year, including corporate events for Ford, Pepsi, Porsche, General Motors, and Toyota, along with regular appearances in Vegas, the city where he first started making it in the biz.

Music, Impressions, and Laughs

Brown impersonates up to 60 different people in his act, and he also performs onstage with his own band, his love of music never far behind him (he also wrote the theme song for the animated show Life With Louie).

One fan wrote online of Brown's show, 'We laughed from the moment he came onstage. The guy is an amazing talent. He is so funny he cracks his own band up. The impersonations are spot on and hilarious.'

In fact, one reviewer said after a smashing Brown performance, 'fans wouldn't let him leave the stage, literally. Brown walked the front of the stage shaking hands, and a member of the audience held on, begging him for more.'

It would have been tough for Brown to leave the stage regardless. 'This is exactly where I need to be,' Brown told a reporter. 'I'm a showman. I need to be onstage to make people laugh.'
