Make it Memorable

“Our saying is that we’ve got the dance oor covered,” says Geo Short, sales and promotions manager for Jerry Bruno Productions (www.jerrybruno.com), a truly eclectic entertainment provider that handles a wide range of acts, including jazz and classical musicians. Not that all their artists are entirely serious. They also represent Kelvis, an Elvis Presley impersonator who looks just like the late, great “king of rock and roll” and the Re-Beats, a band that plays British Invasion music and invites an Austin Powers impersonator on stage. You can even nd an “island” band if you’re looking for a tropical vibe. “We’re not a talent agency but we do have a couple of specialty things,” says Short. “We have a huge network of Northeast Ohio’s very best musicians and we handle hundreds of events. The best venues like to refer their clients to us because they know they’ll be in good hands.”

Something Dada (www.somethingdada.com) is Cleveland’s answer to Second City, the Chicago comedy group famous for producing nationally-known comedians. Something Dada specializes in outrageous improv comedy and has a history that goes back some 15 years. A mix of actors and comedians, it promises “in-your-face” comedy and oers everything from comedy workshops to roasts that will liven up corporate functions. You can rent out their space in the historic Tower Press Building downtown or hire the madcap troupe to come to your corporate function.

And, though perhaps not as outrageous as Something Dada, Fun-Tastic (www.wearefun.com) is a regional company that specializes in magic and “amusement extras” provides family-friendly entertainment, including clowns, inatables and marionettes.
