Sinatra Centenniel Celebration Sunday, November 8, 2015 at 2PM Frank Sinatra’s 100th birthday is December 12, 2015. Many celebrations are taking place across America, but what better way to celebrate this artist than with the man who opened for Sinatra for 13 years. Sinatra caught a show by young comedian Tom Dreesen and immediately added him to his tour. Dreesen, who has made over 500 appearances on national television as a stand-up comedian, would watch Sinatra from the wings every performance. Dreesen’s fondest memories of spending time with Sinatra are both personal and intimate, and in an afternoon filled with funny jokes - clean the way Sinatra wanted - he graciously shares many poignant stories about being on the road with the Chairman of the Board that you won’t hear anyplace else. “A good comedian can make you laugh for an hour and a half. A great comedian can make you laugh and cry in that same hour and a half. Be prepared to do just that..... Brilliant... Funny..... Poignant!” - Rick Kogan, The Chicago Tribune
