About me:
Director of the Vince Vaughn WILD WEST COMEDY SHOW out in theaters nationwide February 8, 2008 and the Academy Award winning comedy musical short film, WEST BANK STORY. |
Check out the official Wild West Comedy Show website at www.wildwestcomedy.com/.
The Vince Vaughn Wild West Comedy Show provides audiences a rare opportunity to experience Vaughn and his team as they travel over 6,000 miles across the heartland of America and perform 30 shows in 30 days.
Traveling to cities that don’t ordinarily attract this type of entertainment, Vaughn and his team
bring their unique styles and perspectives to regional audiences throughout Western, Southern
and Midwestern states.
Through rousing onstage performances and behind-the-scenes interviews, this film
breaks down the true essence of each comedian’s life-altering experiences and the personal
and professional challenges that will unite four comics, one movie star and legions of fans from
Hollywood to the Heartland.”
West Bank Story DVD now available at www.westbankstory.com.
