COMEDY @ The Waterhouse: TIM CAVANAGH
COMEDY @ The Waterhouse: TIM CAVANAGH

5/10/24 (Friday) - COMEDY @ The Waterhouse: TIM CAVANAGH

Fri, May 10 - 8:00 PM - 9:30 PM CST

at The Waterhouse at MAXAM

316 Southwest Washington Street

Peoria, IL 61602

 

Description

RATING: PG-18 (mature audiences)

 

Presented by Funny Money Inc., COMEDY @ The Waterhouse welcomes comedic musician TIM CAVANAGH. Opener will be announced soon!

 

Tim Cavanagh has brought his comedic songs and inventive stand-up to concert halls, corporations, college campuses and nightclubs across America. And cruise ships around America. Over the years, he has also made several trips to Canada, where he has to convert all his jokes to Celsius and his one degree in philosophy becomes a bone-chilling minus 31.

 

Early on, it was Tim's funny music that got a lot of attention. His song, "I Wanna Kiss Her (But She Won't Let Me)," was the first of Tim's pieces to receive national radio exposure, on the legendary "Dr. Demento" show. Other songs followed, including "99 Dead Baboons," "Get Drunk with Dignity," and "Really Safe Sex." His funny tunes have been heard on radio stations everywhere, as well as on Sirius XM and even the BBC.

 

In 1997, Tim released his first CD, "Sounds Like Fun!" By then he had become a regular guest on "The Bob & Tom Show," a nationally syndicated radio show now heard in 130 markets. For two years, Tim did a weekly segment on the show called "The One Minute Song," which spawned two more CDs. Fast Forward to 2016. That's when Tim's fourth comedy album, "Love, Fish and Sausages," was released. This latest CD contains 20 original comedy songs, backed by some great musicians. The 21st song on the album, "Vehicle Man," is a parody of the 1970 hit "Vehicle." The parody is not only done with permission, Tim actually sings this funny adaptation with Jim Peterik, the man who wrote the original and sang the lead on the "Ides of March" hit.

 

As for television, Tim has not only appeared on Comedy Central, he was chosen by the network to do several live performances for their clients and customers. His national appearances on ABC-TV, Showtime, and WGN America have put a face to the voice that so many knew only from the radio.

 

The book, The Complete Idiot's Guide to Jokes, features a half-page of Tim's advice on "How Not to Introduce a Joke," as well as other select Cavanagh jokes. His book, Chicken Soup for the Vegetarian Soul, just went through its sixth printing. Tim firmly believes in printing them "one at a time."

Admission is $25pp and seating is reserved. The bar will open and seating will begin 1 hour before the show at 7p with the show starting at 8p. The show will last approximately 90 minutes.

Tables seat 8 people and will be assigned based upon the order of purchase. If you are joining a larger group or want to be seated with another purchaser specifically, please indicate at the time of purchase in the "Notes to Seller" section who you would like to join.
