Frank Caliendo Coming to Ridgefield Playhouse, 8/21

On stage, Frank Caliendo blends observations, impressions, characters and anecdotal stories for his signature frenetic comedy style.

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!
