Gordie Brown is playing at the new Venetian showroom inside the Venetian Resort and Casino. His headlining solo act is a fun evening filled with music, comedy, impressions, and a little bit of insanity. The show is a tour de force for his talent and abilities, and the energy that he has to share keeps things moving nicely.

Gordie Brown has been performed for Harrah’s Corporation in Reno for several years, and during that time, he built his show into a nightly sold-out event. He received many awards, including "Entertainer of the Year," "Best Comedian," "Best Show," and "Best Entertainer." The Golden Nugget signed Brown for a contract, and had high hopes and expectations for him. The fact is, that he did so well, that he now has been given his own showroom

As soon as Brown comes out on stage, his appeal is obvious. He has a lot of charm and charisma, and his on stage persona immediately puts the audience at ease. He quickly builds a strong rapport with the group, and at once, we are on his side.

Brown does an amazing variety and range of impersonations. For the most part, his impressions are good both vocally and physically, but even when the impersonation is not that great, his shear energy makes it a lot to watch. He manages to bring forth the essential characteristics of each of the people that he chooses to do.

He is a very clever performer, and adds a twist with each of his impressions. Brown always seemed to find interesting alternate lyrics to bring out with each of the songs. This made for a hilarious alternate view of these classic performers that we have grown to cherish, and now saw differently.

Brown's band is excellent. They seem to have the ability to change styles and tunes as easily as Brown changes voices. Without the music, this show would be nothing. Brown is a good performer, but if he didn’t have these wonderful musicians backing him, his performance would be severely lacking. It’s as if Brown is the flesh and blood of the show, and the musicians are the bones and spine.

The new Venetian showroom is a nice venue for Brown. It is intimate enough for him to make a strong connection with the audience, and yet large enough to make it feel like a large show. The space also lends itself to a variety of audience sizes and would therefore never feel too empty.

Gordie Brown has a great talent and a good venue. I hope that he can continue to make it in this town. He deserves it.
