May 14, 2008 Wednesday
Gallagher Comedy Show
Get out your raincoats and other protective gear! Legendary comedian Gallagher
is coming to the St. Croix Casino at 7 p.m., Wednesday, May 14. His appearance
is in conjunction with the Turtle Lake, WI, casino’s 16th Anniversary
Celebration.
Famous for using his Sledge-O-Matic to smash anything and everything including
cottage cheese, cartons of chocolate milk, tubes of toothpaste and, most
famously, watermelons, Gallagher will be sure to get down and dirty. People
sitting in the first three or four rows, beware! In addition to the Sledge-O-Matic,
Gallagher’s act features a variety of props, including a large trampoline
designed to look like a couch, an adult-sized Big Wheel bicycle and a cap with a
fringe of hair attached to the back. In spite of the physical nature of much of
his comedy, Gallagher’s comedy also has a subtle intellectual side. You have to
listen carefully, or you’ll miss the point.
Gallagher was one of the most popular and recognizable American comedians during
the early 1980s. He produced at least one special a year from 1981 to 1987, all
of which were carried by Showtime and then re-broadcast numerous times
throughout the year. To date he has done sixteen specials. Gallagher writes all
of his own material, runs his own operation, and does more than 100 concerts a
year.
Only $20 general admission tickets are still available. To order your tickets,
call St. Croix Casino marketing at 1-800-846-8946, or stop by the casino Gift
Shop.
