"The Naughty or Nice List" is a brand new hilarious and outrageous night of non-stop laughter consisting of stand up comedy, sketch comedy, holiday music and more! Jason Schommer will be performing stand up comedy with holiday flair as he hilariously recounts family holidays gone wrong and the insanity of the season. Jason will also take the stage with fellow actor Ben Pelegano for some uproarious sketches about some of the season's most beloved characters and icons with a local twist. What happens when Rudolf comes to Little Falls looking for a new reindeer to join Santa's team after a devastating accident involving Dancer? Will the old grumpy bear have a change of heart before it is too late in "A Pine Grove Zoo Christmas Carol"? Or whatever happened to Elsa and Anna one "frozen" Christmas? Plus many more side-splitting laugh out loud sketches! Special holiday music will be provided by Kelly Cordes on the Friday performance and The Mistletones (Robyn Gray, Vicki Spofford, Laurie Koll, and Judith Hecht) on the Saturday performance. "The Naughty or Nice List!" is a laugh-a-minute look at the holiday season and all of its madness! Do not miss this evening of seasonal cheer busting with wall to wall laughs and unexpected crazy moments; "The Naughty or Nice List!" is a holiday show unlike any other with even a special appearance by Prudence from Bowlus with her Holiday Letter. Prudence made quiet a splash when she crashed the Oasis fundraiser "The Church Ladies Save the World" this past summer and she is looking forward to making yet another trip to the big city of Little Falls.
Jason Schommer, recently named "What's Hot For 2013" by Campus Activities Magazine, is a standup comedian who has spent two years as the opening act for Louie Anderson in Las Vegas. Louie Anderson says "Jason is funny, clever, smart, and on his way to the big time!". Laugh-until-you-cry stories combine with playful one liners covering a wide array of topics ranging from the daily struggles of life to his loveable, yet kooky, Minnesotan family. Jason's unique comedy style ranges from observational humor based on his life, the world around us, and hilarious commentary of pop culture recounting hysterical true encounters with celebrities such as Katy Perry, Lady Gaga, and Dolly Parton (to name a few). Kathy Griffin even gave Jason a shout out during her show! Jason began his adventures in standup comedy while working for The Rosie O'Donnell Show in NYC. The show's writers thought he was funny, so they signed him up to perform at the New York Comedy Club. Jason easily won over the crowd with his quick wit and energetic style. Since then, Jason has quickly become an audience favorite at shows all over with rave reviews and a rapidly growing fan base. Jason has directed such shows locally as "Grease", "Disney's Beauty and the Beast", "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat", and "Evita" among many others. Jason is currently working on writing a TV show pilot with Louie Anderson and will be recording his first album of live stand up comedy at the Paramount Theatre in St. Cloud this coming February.
