Todd Oliver & Friends Bring New Show to Jim Stafford Theatre

Talking Dogs, Real Dummies, & The Smiling Eyes perform with Todd Oliver in Branson, MO

(Tuesday, August 10, 2010 ~ Branson, MO) Nationally known comedian Todd Oliver will appear at the Jim Stafford Theatre in Branson, Missouri in his own show, Todd Oliver & Friends, in 2011. Todd Oliver & Friends shows begin on Tuesday, March 1, 2011, and will run through December 30, 2011.  Todd Oliver, known for his amazing talking dogs and hilarious comedy, says, “Along with my canine friends – Irving, Lucy, and Elvis – I’ll be joined by a ‘real’ cast of characters like Pops, Miss Lilly, Joey, and my outstanding Smiling Eyes Band. We’ve got a lot of audience participation segments, original music, and outrageous comedy.”  Irving the talking dog adds, “We’re gonna turn everyday K-9 experiences into a howling good time!”  While Todd Oliver has developed his show over the course of several years, this is the first time that his full show will be available to Branson audiences. Shows are at 12 noon and include a lunch served prior to the show. There will also be some 6:00pm shows in December with dinner served prior to the show.

Jim Stafford, theater owner and comic-genius, says, “I’m thrilled about having Todd Oliver at my theater. Todd’s got a fall-down funny, hip comedy style and a totally different show that audiences of all ages love. Not only have Todd and I been great friends throughout the years, we’ve talked about what great fun it would be to perform in the same theater.  Now that this place is going to the dogs, I’m just happy Irving isn’t a Chihuahua.”  Todd adds, “At least they can talk and have had their shots. On an important note, these dogs are family pets, some of whom have been adopted, and they wag their tails while they work like a dog.”

Another unique aspect to Todd Oliver & Friends is that a picnic lunch is included in the show ticket and is served prior to the show. Lunch includes your choice of sandwich, hotdog, or PB&J (for kids), and beverage choices, as well as seasonal side items like potato salad, chips, baked beans, cookies, cupcakes, strawberry soup, and more.  Table seating for lunch is provided. Stafford adds, “Doggie bags are optional.”

Todd Oliver’s national appearances on “The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson”, “The Today Show”, “Late Show with David Letterman”, “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno”, “The Howie Mandel Show”, “Walker Texas Ranger”, “CNN Entertainment News”, and others along with his consistent touring schedule around the world at major clubs, corporate meetings and conventions have kept his unique show current with today’s audiences. David Letterman proclaimed Todd one of the “Top 5 Ventriloquists in the World.”

As a featured performer on Branson’s Showboat Branson Belle since 1998, Todd has performed with his three live, one-of-a kind talking dogs as part of the Showstoppers! Show.  “We have enjoyed a 13-year relationship with Todd as a highly-talented performer and a good friend of the Silver Dollar City family,” said Jim Moeskau, General Manager of The Showboat Branson Belle. “We think it’s exciting for Branson that Todd and his repertoire of talent will be showcased in his own show at the Jim Stafford Theatre in 2011.  This move for Todd is another great example of how Branson introduces and then nurtures talented performers who become favorites with our 8 million visitors.”   Irving the talking dog adds, “Leaving the Showboat Branson Belle is a big step for this little dog, it’s a good thing I’m going with Todd as he needs all the help he can get. Just look at the whole talking thing…I’ll admit that Todd talks for me, if he’ll admit I think for him.”

Tickets for Todd Oliver & Friends for the 2011 season go on sale this week.  For tickets and more information call 417-335-8080 or visitwww.ToddOliver.com.

Eire and Brimstone: Rock & Roll … With a Celtic Soul!

On Saturday, August 14, Waxy O’Shea’s Irish Pub at Branson Landing will host Branson’s liveliest rock band: Eire & Brimstone!

Eire & Brimstone is made up of several local entertainers, each with some connection to Ireland, Scotland and Wales. None of the band are immigrants, but you don’t have to dig very deep to see the bandmembers’ love of all things Celtic.

“I’m really enjoying getting back to my roots. This band is really pushing me to connect to my Irish heritage.” Says fiddler Bonnie Riley. One may recognize Bonnie from the several professional shows in Branson in which she is featured.

“My Grandfather was quintessential Irish Chicago cop.” Says Dan Richards. Dan also has family ties to Wales. One might remember Dan playing lead guitar for the rowdy Dirty Old Towne band.

“I have red hair—they can’t kick me out!” exclaims Michael Horn, lead vocalist and songwriter for Eire & Brimstone. Michael’s family tree stretches from Ireland across the Irish sea to Scotland.

Eire and Brimstone’s music is a mix of original tunes with Celtic flair, covers of tunes from famous Celtic bands, and traditional pub tunes that you might hear at an Irish pub sessiun. Eire and Brimstone shows usually include some bandmembers wearing kilts. All in attendance are encouraged to raise their glasses for frequent toasts.

Join in the Celtic frivolity at Waxy O’Shea’s on August 14, 2010, playing from 9PM to 1AM.
