Reno Tahoe Comedy presents laughter at the Pioneer Underground located on 100 South Virginia, St. in Reno, NV. Reno Tahoe Comedy offers a full bar and no drink minimum. Suggested age: 16 and over with parental guidance. We have two shows on Saturday September 10th; the first is at 8:00pm and the second is an R-Rated performance that begins at 10:00pm.

Your headliner for both shows is comedic legend, Tony D’Andrea. Tony’s act is a whirlwind tour of thoughts and impressions with stops at platforms even D'Andrea doesn't realize are on the itinerary. He's from the old school where material comes from creativity and talent, not requiring shock value to sustain it. And while, the jokes, skits and gags can come at you from all angles, they can also be delivered subtly. Borrowing from masters like Jack Benny, D'Andrea can, when he feels it's needed, make people laugh without saying a word. Impressions mixed with stand-up. It's a formula that has gained favor with comedy fans for they get a lot of bang for their buck. When you go to see D'Andrea, you also get Nicholson, Pesci, and a whole lot more.



Tony D'Andrea
Your host for the 8:00pm show is comedian Danwise. Danwise was a high school theater dork who recently decided to re-awaken his inner actor by taking improv classes. His comedic style uses heavy doses of sarcasm and can always find the absurd in every day life. As a Reno native, Danwise likes to poke fun at his town and those around him, his girlfriend and family. A local favorite on the stand up circuit, he is easy to find most nights at open mic's in downtown Reno. Danwise enjoys nothing more than entertaining an audience on stage. 

Danwise
Carla Rea will be the performing in the guest spot for both shows. An accomplished comedian with over 20 years of comedy club, TV, and radio experience, (Late Night with Conan O’Brien, Evening at the Improv, Showtime and Comedy Central) Carla is sure to keep you laughing!

Carla Rea
You host for the 10:00pm performance is comedian Wayne Walsh. Wayne is a fast-paced comic whose clever material pushes the limits of edgy.  His style is shockingly funny and thought-provoking in that “did he really say that?” kind of way.  Wayne’s commanding stage presence keeps him one of Northern Nevada’s favorite local comics and a highlight of tours across the western United States.  Experiences growing up in rural towns, serving time in the Air Force, and living in the Biggest Little City in the World allow Wayne to connect with people of all backgrounds.

Political Satirist Will Durst at the Pioneer Underground!

Reno Tahoe Comedy presents popular political satirist Will Durst at the Pioneer Underground located on 100 South Virginia, St. in Reno, NV. The first show is on Saturday at 8:00pm with an ‘R’ rated show at 10:00pm. Reno Tahoe Comedy offers a full bar and no drink minimum. Suggested age: 16 and over with parental guidance.
Amazing political satirist Will Durst will be your headliner for the weekend. Sweeping both sides of the aisle with a quiver full of arrows dipped in common sense, Durst transcends party ties, having performed at events honoring former Presidents Bill Clinton and George HW Bush as well as acclaimed appearances at both a Mayors Convention and Governors Conference. Outraged and outrageous, Durst is as current as today’s headlines, as accurate as a sniper, and universally acknowledged by even his peers as the nation’s foremost political comic. 

Joining Will is our featured comedian, Mari Esther Kaplan as political icon Sarah Palin. Mari is a graduate of the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in NYC and has trained with William Esper and with Obie Award winning Stephen Rosenfield at the American Comedy Institute in NYC. 

Joining Will and Mari as your host for the evening is comedian Kurt Weitzmann performing as the controversial radio and ex-television host, Glenn Beck. Kurt began performing stand up at the infamous Holy City Zoo, a dark and wonderful place. His act has been seen on Comedy central and MTV and more recently at The Vancouver Comedy Festival and at San Francisco Sketchfest.

WHAT IS THE BEAUTIFICATION PROGRAM?
The Riverwalk Merchants Association, a non-profit coalition of 40+ energetic business owners located along the Riverwalk in Downtown Reno raises money to donate to the beautification and rehabilitation of downtown Reno. The (RWMA) has developed the Beautification program with the goal that funds can be raised that would allow the association to complete the maintenance and rehabilitation of our most valuable neighborhood, by removing the overgrown weeds, re-landscape the neglected medians, oversee maintenance of the parks and streets, install public art, support public events and continue our goal to promote Downtown Reno as a cultural, safe, and family-friendly area.

Every dollar raised will help establish a safer and cleaner area downtown by improving signage, repairing damaged artwork, generating cleaning programs and proposing new landscaping concepts. Anyone can donate funds and all donations can be made through the website or mailed directly to the Association.

WHY WE NEED YOUR HELP?
The Riverwalk Merchants Association needs help from every member of our community. By donating to our beautification program you are able to become a part of our goals to rehabilitate poorly landscaped and blighted areas of the Riverwalk Corridor. Funding allows our association to replace broken or damaged signage, increase police awareness, sponsor public events, clean-up neglected areas, develop recycling programs and help with the installation of public art.

RECOVER THE RIVERWALK!
Beautification improvements are fundamental elements that contribute to the quality of life, vitality of downtown shopping, economy and entertainment for locals and visitors. Our organization is committed to keeping downtown Reno a great place to do business, enjoy life, raise a family, entertain, and appreciate the arts and culture of Nevada.

Our organization sponsors a variety of monthly events and provides donations to various local charities and other non-profit organizations focused on art, theater, health, animals and families.
