THE TONY MARTINI VARIETY HOUR Arrives in Hollywood at Three Clubs Lounge

Look out, Hollywood! Here comes Tony Martini! On Thursday, March 29, the legendary Tony Martini Variety Hour arrives at Three Clubs Lounge on Vine Street! Local comedy favorite Mark Fite will star as Martini, and he'll be bringing a little bit of old Vegas right along with him. The madness is set to begin at 8pm.

The Tony Martini Variety Hour is a journey into the world of ex-Vegas lounge legend Tony Martini (Mark Fite). With his misfit collection of friends, a couple of top notch musicians, and a roster of amazing A-list specialty acts, each performance is a thoroughly entertaining evening of variety and laughs. Tony may no longer be at the top of his game but he's still got a fresh drink and a pocketful of 'vitamins' to fuel the fire in his lounge loving heart.

Special guests on Thursday 3/29 will include (in alphabetical order) accordion player & comedian Renee Albert, opera singer Mary Francis, ventriloquist Karl Herlinger, juggler Michael Rayner, and burlesque dancer April Showers.

Mark Fite is founding member of the LA-based comedy group 2 Headed Dog. Known for its absurd characters, offbeat sketches, and loose improvisation, the group's antics have taken them to venues and festivals across the USA. Fite is known for creating odd and original characters and has appeared in several long-running hit comedies including Bob's Holiday Office Party, The Rudy Casoni Show, Girly Magazine Party, and more. He has performed at The Comedy Store, The Improv, Upright Citizens Brigade, Dixon Place (NYC), the Las Vegas Comedy Festival, San Francisco SketchFest, the Steve Allen Theater, and countless others.

Producer/Creator/Director Steven Espinosa was a professional dancer during the early days of MTV. He performed in music videos with artists such as Prince, Sheila E., Weird Al Yankovic, Toto, and many more. He was also a dancer in the opening act for the legendary Sammy Davis Jr. as well as comedy icons Don Rickles, Rich Little, and Louis Anderson. Recently, Espinosa wrote, directed, and choreographed two award-winning short dance films, The Black Dahlia Ballet and American Dancer.
