SPECIAL GUEST - BASILE

Having played to sold-out performances in the US and UK, Basile's deranged blend of wild, silly, and hilarious characters will make you feel like he's been a part of your family for years! He is a powerfully diverse entertainer who is able to shift from frenzied airline passenger to tearful teddy bear to angry, antagonistic performer without missing a beat.
