FRANK CALIENDO SIGNS 10-YEAR DEAL TO PERFORM AT MONTE CARLO

Comedian/Impressionist Becomes Las Vegas’ Hottest New Headliner

Las Vegas – The impressions will come fast and the laughter even faster when comedian/impressionist Frank Caliendo becomes a permanent headliner on the Las Vegas Strip with his new show at Monte Carlo beginning Monday, Oct. 12.  Caliendo and Monte Carlo have signed an exclusive 10-year agreement that will make Caliendo a hilarious fixture at the resort for the next decade.

Known by millions for his dead-on impressions of such celebrities as Al Pacino, Robert DeNiro, John Madden, former Presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush, Dr. Phil, Jay Leno and dozens more, as well as myriad of television appearances and live stage performances, Caliendo’s new show will be a dynamic mix of high-energy comedy and fast-paced impressions enhanced by live music, video sketches and much more.  

“I’m excited to call Monte Carlo my new home,” said Caliendo.  “This is Vegas, so this show is going to be bigger and have a higher production value than traditional stand up.   I’ve got a live band, we’ll have video segments and maybe even some guest appearances.  It’s going to have all of the excitement of a TV show but it will be live on-stage and no two shows will be exactly alike.”

Anton Nikodemus, president & COO of Monte Carlo, said, “We are thrilled to have Frank Caliendo become part of our family.  Frank is an incredible talent who we know will bring laughter and top-notch entertainment to Monte Carlo for years to come.”

Richard Sturm, MGM MIRAGE president of Sports and Entertainment, stated, “Frank Caliendo’s arrival will continue our tradition of hosting the top names in entertainment and there is no doubt Frank will thrill fans with his unique comedic style and unprecedented impressions.” 

Caliendo has spent his career making people laugh and will now bring his memorable comedy to the Entertainment Capital of the World.  A regular on America’s No. 1 pregame show, FOX NFL Sunday with Terry Bradshaw and Howie Long, Caliendo has garnered critical acclaim throughout his career with impressions of famous actors, politicians and broadcasters.  A veteran of sketch comedy, Caliendo starred in his own television show, “Frank TV” on TBS, spent five years on “MadTV,” and has had numerous appearances on Comedy Central. 

In addition to his regular tour schedule across the country, Caliendo has performed regularly on late-night talk shows including “The Late Show with David Letterman,” “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno,” “Jimmy Kimmel Live,” “Late Night with Conan O’Brien,” “The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson” and “Last Call with Carson Daly.”
