The Atlantis In Nassau, Bahamas

I spent Thanksgiving Weekend performing at The Atlantis in Nassau. I’ve been fortunate enough to perform at The Atlantis five separate times now! I always love coming back.

Great people here, great theater and a great tech staff. Thanks to Angelo, Zoe, and Terran! And the view from the hotel room isn’t bad either!!

Spotlight On… Tim Gabrielson: The Magic of Inspirational Comedy!

Tim Gabrielson is just plain funny. Period. From his facial expressions to pulling a $100 bill out of a tomato, Gabrielson delivers a performance of nearly 100%, non-stop laughter.

A winning entertainment experience is hard to gauge…some say it’s by applause, others by audience interaction. Regardless of the measurement, inspirational Keynote speaker, author and comedic magician Tim Gabrielson takes his audience on a captivating adventure every time he steps on stage.

Using quick wit, interactive magic and a playful spirit to connect with his audience, Tim focuses on his underlying theme of “keeping it funny” and helps audiences choose to live positively, as he takes them on his comedic journey. He masterfully weaves his uplifting message throughout his presentation and leaves the audience thoroughly entertained, enlivened, and inspired.

Recent testimonials from Carlson Companies who said, “Tim Gabrielson is all you need to make your event a huge success” and Jostens who exclaimed, “Our Conference was a success the minute Tim took the stage” are true testaments of how great Tim is in person.

Las Vegas Show – Defending the Caveman at Harrah’s

The longest running solo play in Broadway history has landed safely on the Strip! Kevin Burke’s Las Vegas show “Defending the Caveman” answers the question “why does he DO that?!” to the side-splitting satisfaction of each and every lucky audience. The truth behind misunderstood male stereotypes of all kinds will finally be revealed, as you learn exactly what it is that makes men tick, and in the process gain a wonderfully funny and genuinely insightful new understanding of the precarious relationship between the sexes.

Kevin’s Vegas show has a none-too-subtle theme attached to it, sporting prehistoric backdrops and primal sound-effects, setting the tone for the great reveal: a legitimate explanation for everything from a woman’s shopping habits to a man’s inability to have a conversation during a televised sporting event. Men and women alike will find vindication and a newfound appreciation for each other in the Las Vegas show that Oprah, Variety, The New York Times, and CNN have found good reason to offer the highest level of praise and respect. The poking, prodding, amused whispers and knowing glances present in all of Kevin’s performances are a testament to what lies underneath all the laughter and the merriment — a stronger bond with the people we love.

2011 National Youth Workers Convention

Comedian Taylor Mason

I was able to steal away from Vegas for a night to perform at the 2011 National Youth Workers Convention in Atlanta. I worked the late-night comedy show at the host hotel, the Marquis Marriott (pictured right), as well as the general session at the Atlanta Civic Center (below).

The highlight for me was sharing the stage with my long-time friend and mentor Taylor Mason. Taylor is a brilliant comedian, ventriloquist, musician, and actor. I first worked with Taylor on Disney Cruise Line in November of 2005.

General Session at Atlanta Civic Center

“I’m always impressed by how well Jeff Civillico adapts his performance and delivers a knockout show, each and every time. This time it was for over 900 youth workers at the National Youth Workers Conference. It was almost midnight after a long day of speakers and seminars, but he had that room rocking. They didn’t want him to leave the stage.”

Las Vegas Show – Phantom – The Las Vegas Spectacular

Take “The Phantom of the Opera,” sprinkle it with some Vegas magic and place it inside of a $40 million custom-build theater made specifically for the timeless Broadway musical, and you’ve got “Phantom – The Las Vegas Spectacular.” Show creator Andrew Lloyd Webber and a select group from his original creative team spearheaded the development of “Phantom,” carefully polishing the experience to take full advantage of abundant resources, while retaining his well-known songs and every one of its best moments.

His Las Vegas show exhibits the fiery spirit of the original and supplements it with breathtaking set pieces, and an 1,800-seat theater that’s truly majestic in its own right. Fireworks, a technically masterful lighting system and ingenious placement of surround sound equipment throughout the theater showcase a plethora of special effects, meticulously crafted to compliment the original classic without reducing its physical and emotional impact. Dozens of Broadway-calibur performers and dozens more crew members act in technically masterful unison to provide a moving and visceral family-friendly show that proves that Vegas can do it with style and substance.
