- The Very Famous Lance Vegas Show is a musical
comedy show that features hilarious audience
involved routines, parodies of Sting’s recent hits as
well as clever re-writes of Neil Diamond’s “Forever In
Blue Jeans” and You Don’t Bring Me Flowers”. Lance
recruits the audience’s help in ‘The Ikea Song” where
the crowd adds funny new lyrics to a popular song,
which Lance promptly sings. It’s an evening of farce
and laughter that will have you loving Lance as well as
he loves himself.
The Very Famous Lance Vegas began his illustrious
musical comedy career at age 13, performing in drag in
Gilbert and Sullivan Operettas for local theatre. His
indistinct voice and his flair for the trite led him to
meteoric stardom in the mid eighties, performing lip-
sync contests in cheap nightclubs from coast to coast.
Lance felt that he had to keep plugging to stay on top
and managed to make the transition to karaoke fame in
the 90’s, bringing back the stylings of such musical
performers as Kaja Googoo and Lisa Lisa and the Cult
Jam. The music and comedy fell tightly into place for
“the original American Idol” in 2001 as Lance toured
the bowling alley circuit, debuting his re-written Neil
Diamond songs to the delight of several at the
Superbowl in Peru, IL. The self-proclaimed “King of
Bling” now boasts having opened in concert for Babs
(Markowitz) and Ole Blue Eyes (Wukitz). According to
the Northwest Herald, “Lance Vegas can turn a sterile
room into a crowd of curious on-lookers.”
No techno multi-pants in this show!
Lance is a regular guest on the successful cable TV
program, PSYCHOBABBLE where he performs his
magic and experiments with new forms of show-biz
entertainment.
Chicago comedy veteran TR Benker portrays The Very
Famous Lance Vegas in this high-energy musical
comedy show. Benker has performed in 31 states in
his 22 years of comedy opening for the likes of Jackie
Mason, Steven Wright, and Darryl Hammond as well as
working the Bally’s Ballroom in Las Vegas with
Rodney Dangerfield. His “guy-next-door” humor
invites you in, and ends up borrowing your
lawnmower.
Benker has also performed on the Oprah Winfrey
Show and Entertainment Tonight, co-authored the
“Improv Comedy Board Game” and the “Game of Top
Ten Lists”. He hosted morning radio shows in Las
Vegas and Houston for several years, supplying
comedy and his hilarious song parodies, which led to
the birth of Lance Vegas. Lance’s songs can be heard
in many radio markets over the All-Star Radio Network.
