There are many classic comedy routines, but none is more lauded than the one in which someone walks toward a banana peel and places it in the garbage.

Doors open at 7 p.m. and seating is subject to availability.
Best known for his smooth-talking, baritone Lovemaster persona, Craig Shoemaker lures giggles out into the open with stories and a penchant for vocal impersonation that could shame a mockingbird. His keen observations, warped tales from his life, and dead-on impersonation of Don Knotts helped him snag the title of Comedian of the Year at the American Comedy Awards on ABC. With a resumé that includes a Comedy Central special voted by viewers as one of the top 20 of all time and a comedy album, The Lovemaster … Unzipped, that stayed on the Billboard Top 20 for six weeks straight, Shoemaker's talents have landed him stints acting, voicing animated characters, authoring wry children's books, and even performing marriages as an ordained minister.
