On stage, Frank Caliendo blends observations, impressions, characters and anecdotal stories for his signature frenetic comedy style. Caliendo is perhaps best known for his impressions of famous actors Al Pacino, Robin Williams and Robert DeNiro; former presidents George W. Bush and Bill Clinton; broadcasters John Madden and Charles Barkley; and talk show hosts Dr. Phil, Jay Leno, and David Letterman.

A veteran of televised comedy, Caliendo has starred in numerous television shows including "MADtv," "Mike & Mike," "Hot in Cleveland," and his own series on TBS, "Frank TV" in 2007 and 2008.

He is a regular on the late night talk show circuit, performing on such shows as "The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson," "Jimmy Kimmel Live," "The Tonight Show," "The View" and "Late Show with David Letterman."

Once described by the Hollywood Reporter as "a combination of Robin Williams and Jim Carrey," Frank is one comedian that should not be missed!

You can catch Frank Caliendo's stand-up live at The Ridgefield Playhouse on Friday, August 21 at 8 p.m. with special guest George Kanter as part of the Clark Construction Comedy Series with media sponsor 98.3fm 98Q.

Start the night of with dinner at Steakhouse Cellar Door (439 Main Street, Ridgefield) and receive a complimentary glass of wine or beer and dessert the night of the show when tickets are presented.

From 2003 to 2012, Caliendo was a fixture on the "Fox NFL Sunday" pregame show where he worked with Terry Bradshaw, Howie Long and the rest of the team. His "Frank's Picks" segments were featured during the broadcasts of Super Bowls xxIX, XLII and XLV.

Recently, Caliendo displayed his exceptional impressionist skills on "Mike & Mike," an American sports-talk radio show hosted by Mike Golic and Mike Greenberg on ESPN Radio and simulcast on television. He read basketball star Lebron James' famous "Coming Home" letter in actor Morgan Freeman's voice.
