DANNY GANS

Want to see James Brown, Smokey Robinson, Ricky Martin and Joe Cocker all performing on the same stage? How about during the same 90 minute show? What seems like a staging impossibility becomes a reality in the hands of Danny Gans. A master impersonator and vocalist, Gans has a repertoire of over 300 flawless celebrity imitations. Drawing from this list of actors, singers, and even politicians, Gans single handedly weaves together an incredible act night after night. Because his talents are so diverse, each performance is a unique blend of drama, comedy and music.

As a young man Gans began a career in baseball, signing with the minor leagues directly after college. However, an injury steered him from this path and allowed him to develop his natural ability to entertain. After fifteen years of touring the U.S. in various performances and showcases, Gans honed his skills and cultivated his craft into the awe-inspiring one-man-show it is today.

Imagine hearing the voices of George Bush Sr. and Jr., Billy Joel, and David Bowie, or a conversation between Jimmy Stewart and Kermit the Frog all coming from the same mouth. Gans not only impersonates but also pokes fun of his subjects by altering song lyrics and inventing fictitious scenarios- i.e. George Burns on Viagra. As if that wasn't enough, he also incorporates a slew of female vocalists including Macy Gray, Natalie Cole, and Anita Baker.

Its no surprise that Danny Gans packs the house more often than not and is considered one of the most popular acts in Vegas. His show is a “must see” for first timers, and since no two performances are the same, it's a “must see again” for veteran audiences.
