"It's no secret that I love Patti LuPone," says Leary, whose hit variety show features a live band, Broadway and cabaret vocalists, celebrity interviews and original comedy sketches, "Patti's new book is as important as the Bible, so we'll be spreading the word with some hilarious Patti segments." The evening will include a review of LuPone's book from comedian Lisa Kaplan and an interview with Ben Rimalower (Joy, The Fabulous Life of a Size Zero, Leslie Kritzer is Patti LuPone at Les Mouches.)

Also featured on the eclectic lineup will be television star Kate Hodge (She-Wolf of London, Texas Chainsaw Massacre 3, and national spokesperson for Citracal,) actress Erika Amato in a scene from Next to Normal, sports journalist Ted Rybka, comedian Brooke Van Poppelen (Comedy Central), and vocalists Karen Mack, Angela Shultz and Maureen Taylor. Comedians Jessimae Peluso and Selena Coppock will compete for the title of the first ever "Official Danny Leary Spokesmodel" in a swimsuit and evening gown phase of competition that will be judged by Haasan Morse, CEO and founder of Morse Code PR.

Under the musical direction of Kenneth Gartman, "The Danny Leary Variety Extravaganza" is accompanied by "The Danny Leary Band," with Gartman on keys, nightclub entertainer Terese Genecco on drums and Grammy Award winner Skip Ward on bass. "The show feels like The TONY Awards, Merv Griffin, Oprah and Hee-Haw all in one show," says Danny, "New York hasn't seen a show like this in years. I'm quite proud of it."
