Comedy At The Ave 2011 - April

3 comedians, 1 night... provide the right ingredients to keep you laughing all night long!

Michael Davis headlines the April Comedy at the Ave Friday, April 22 at 7:30 p.m. at the Auburn Avenue Theater. Comedy at the Ave is a monthly comedy series that takes place at the Auburn Avenue Theater. Three comedians, one night, where you're guaranteed to hear something you like.

With over 25 years experience of clowning, juggling and entertaining audiences on screen and on stage, Michael Davis also plays Chef Tad Overdone in Seattle's Teatro Zinzanni. A third-generation San Franciscan, Michael was intrigued with the art of clowning in the early '70s, and was handpicked from over 2,000 applicants to attend Clown College. Upon graduation, he landed a job as a clown with the Ringling Brothers Circus. Through the years his interests expanded and entered the realm of comedy.

Spotted by a talent agent in 1979, he was hired to perform on HBO's The Young Comedian's Show, his first major television appearance. Next came Broadway Follies. Said a New York Times critic of Michael's performance, "I was as close as I have ever been to rolling in an aisle with laughter." Sugar Babies followed, and soon his notices brought him to the attention of Saturday Night Live's producers, resulting in six guest appearances on the show.

Michael has been featured on The Dick Cavett Show, The Tonight Show, Merv Griffin, 20/20, and Night of 100 Stars, among others. A Command Performance at the Ford Theatre found him in the company of Liza Minnelli, Ben Vereen, and Natalia Makarova. He has been honored by his peers with a Drama Desk Nomination and a Theatre World Award for Outstanding Featured Actor in a Musical for his performance in Sugar Babies.

Don't miss this evening of headliner Michael Davis and two other comedians that will to keep you laughing all night long!
