Hey, wait. At what point did Gordie Brown become one of our only old-school Las Vegas showmen?

Gordie Brown&#;s Las Vegas Show is Wacky

Master impressionist and wacky comedian Gordie Brown serves up a winning combination of celebrity and song parodies sprinkled with a healthy dose of his infamous comedy antics to deliver a Las Vegas show created especially to highlight his impressive versatility.
