The
Wayne
Faust Show...
Wayne
Turns 70!
Holy
Smokes!!!!
Who
would have thought when he started this whole, epic adventure way
back in 1975,
that one day, after performing over 7000 shows, in
40 states, Mexico, England, Scotland, and Holland,
he'd return to
his hometown of Chicagoland to celebrate his 70th
birthday,
and that he'd STILL BE PERFORMING?
Well,
he is, and in true Wayne Faust tradition, he's celebrating near where
it all began, with a lot of people that
were THERE IN THE
BEGINNING!
Or at least close to the beginning.
Along with some
of their kids, and, dare we say it, their grandkids!
And a
generous does of people who discovered Wayne's show much later in the
game.
In any event, IT'S GOING TO BE A BLAST!
It's
ALWAYS one of Wayne's favorite shows of the year, and no
wonder.
There will be a full dose of his classic funny songs,
sentimental favorites, spontaneity, jokes, and surprises galore.
A
lot of what happens on this night always surprises even him!
SPECIAL
NOTE!
This is likely to be Wayne's last Chicagoland show for a
while.
After all, he's going to be 70 and...
MARK
YOUR CALENDARS FOR THIS ONE!!
Saturday,
November
18th, 2023
Elk's
Lodge Banquet Hall in Des Plaines, Illinois
Showtime
7 PM (note the earlier start time – by popular demand!)
Wayne
has done seven shows here and it's a GREAT ROOM - big enough to seat
everyone at tables, which is what most people prefer. There's a
sentimental connection for Wayne, because the Elk's Lodge is just a
few blocks away from where the old Des Plaines Ground Round used to
be,
which
is one of the places where Wayne started his career!
There
will be a cash bar and casual food available for purchase
(hamburgers, hot dogs, etc.)
If
you are going to see one Wayne Faust Show this year, this is the
one.
