The 2015 Annual Headliners Bash – Another Awesome Charity Show
It is often said that sleeping in Vegas is highly overrated. Nobody knows this better than Jeff Civillico, the manic comedian-juggler who headlines at Flamingo Hotel. Along with his own busy performance schedule, Jeff manages to host TV shows and corporate functions, pull off stunts around the city (like his nearly-nude unicycle adventure depicted below), create/host “Showbiz Academy” and perform in various fundraisers throughout (and outside of) the Las Vegas Valley.
This week, Jeff can be seen in not one but two (!) evening charity benefits. He’ll be “synching” his heart out at Drop The Mic, a lip-synching contest to raise money for Noah’s Animal House. It takes place this Tuesday the 17th at SLS Las Vegas (click here for my article about the event). Then he’ll be hosting the 2015 Annual Headliners Bash inside Penn and Teller Theater at Rio Hotel this Friday the 20th.
Being the host of the fourth Headliners Bash is just part of Jeff’s involvement. He spearheads Win-Win Entertainment, a not-for-profit organization designed to bring entertainers and charitable causes together. The annual Headliner Bash shows raise funds to keep Win-Win Entertainment in motion…and aid over 80 local charities.
In their own words:
By the end of this year, Win-Win will have supported more than 220 charity shows, galas, and appearances in support of other non-profit agencies throughout Southern Nevada, including; hospital visits, senior care facilities, programs serving the homeless, special needs initiatives, and USO performances for our servicemen and women.
As in previous years, Civillico and his team have gathered some stellar names to provide an evening of fun:
🔹Penn & Teller
🔹Mat Franco (America’s Got Talent winner/Linq headliner)
🔹The Australian Bee Gees
🔹Derrick Barry (“Britney Spears” from Frank Marino’s DIVAS)
🔹Travis Cloer (Jersey Boys)
🔹Martin Kaye (Million Dollar Quartet)
🔹The Rat Pack Is Back (Tuscany Hotel)
🔹Australia’s Thunder From Down Under
🔹Matt Kazam (Riviera’s “40 Is Not The New 20”)
🔹Lon Bronson Band (Smith Center’s Cabaret Jazz)
It all begins at 7 pm, Friday the 20th, at Rio’s Penn and Teller Theater. Tickets for 2015 Headliners Bash start at $24.95 and can be ordered via Ticketmaster by following this link.
Jeff Civillico: Comedy In Action performs daily at 5:30 pm (dark Thursday and Friday) inside Flamingo Hotel’s “Bugsy’s Cabaret”.
