Delivering a blend of comedy, music, and improv that's both familiar and like nothing seen before, entertainer Michael Leahy's alter ego Clownvis Presley returns to Davenport's Raccoon Motel on September 17, this singular figure having toured with Insane Clown Posse, Neil Hamburger, and Mac Sabbath, and boasting a stage act lauded by L.A.
