Long Island Comedian
Announces Tour and Says
You Can Go Home
Long Island native and Musical Comedian Evan Wecksell returns to New
York for his 2006 "You Can Go Home" tour - a
full slate of club, college and radio dates from April 15-22.
GREAT NECK, NY (OPENPRESS) April 9, 2006 – He may now live in Los
Angeles, but Musical Comedian Evan Wecksell is returning to his Long
Island performing roots in a big way. From Saturday, April 15 to
Saturday April 22, Wecksell has announced his "You Can Go Home Tour," an
eight-show stint across Long Island and New York City's clubs,
colleges and radio stations.
At
27, Wecksell is young, but his experience is beyond his years.
Last year he performed over 175 shows across the country and made his
television debut on VH1's "I Love the 80s 3D." Earlier
this year he appeared on VH1's "I Love Toys."
"The Toys series was great for me," says Wecksell. "People
now call me the Rainbow Brite guy. I don't think it gets any better
than this."
It will get better for
Wecksell starting on Saturday, April 15 when he kicks off the tour by
reuniting with anti-musician Steve Lieberman, "The Gangsta Rabbi" at
Babylon's Pisces Cafe. In what is being called "Jews that Rock II,"
Wecksell and Lieberman will alternate several two song sets throughout
the night. Their first Pisces show was a big hit in November, and this
time around they return on tax day.
"It's meant to be. April 15 is a big day for Jewish accountants
everywhere, especially on Long Island," points out Wecksell. "This
show will be a celebration of our people and their proficiency at
handling money... even if we are performing for free."
The tour will continue with a rare morning performance at Suffolk
County Community College (SCCC) in Brentwood. While most comedy
happens after dark, SCCC student Fazila Gak believes the students will
in primetime shape for comedy.
"It is going to be a great show," says Gak. "I'm so excited and
anxious for Evan to come tour Long Island!"
Wecksell's stage tour will not only be prolific, but also diverse. On
Wednesday, April 19 he will be hosting The Inter-Fraternity and
Sorority Council Talent Show at SUNY Stony Brook. The very next night
he will performing at United Cerebral Palsy Benefit at The Brokerage
in Bellmore.
Wecksell will retake Manhattan on Friday, April 22 with a late night
performance at Don't Tell Mama in Times Square. He also has more
reasons to recommend than simply he will be playing there.
"It will be me and the fiancee [actress and singer Kelly Meyersfield]
on the same show," promotes Wecksell. "And The Poole Party at Don't
Tell Mama is drop dead hilarious. Ron Poole is the greatest emcee I've
come across since I started doing this. And he makes old people
kiss."
Wecksell's Friday night will then turn into Saturday morning as makes
his first appearance on The Joey Reynolds Show, a late night, hang
loose laugh riot on WOR Radio AM 710.
While Wecksell's schedule seems at capacity, he has a few surprise
appearances up his sleeve.
"I'll pop up at a few places I've called home," hints Wecksell.
"That's what this trip is about. Vintage Long Island."

Evan Wecksell:

funniest and most energetic performers to emerge from New York’s
comedy clubs and musical venues. Often compared to comedic superstars
Adam Sandler and Stephen Lynch, Evan’s act is a blend of comedy and
music that celebrates dysfunctional relationships, endorses unorthodox
career paths and makes fun of bad music. Last year, Evan
appeared on VH1’s “I Love the 80s 3D,” and this year he appeared on VH1's "I Love Toys." For more information on Evan Wecksell
