Tom Briscoe at the Orpheum Theatre -- August 22.

Saturday, August 22, 7:30 p.m.

Orpheum Theatre, 57 South Kellogg Street, Galesburg IL

Instructing and entertaining audiences on the art of “Old Manspaining,” touring comedian and popular radio presence Tom Briscoe brings his comedy show to Galesburg's Orpheum Theatre on August 22, offering hysterical advice on maintaining agood marriage, raising daughters, empty nesting, and the fine art of unsolicited advice.

With his solo show racking up rave reviews and keeping the performer's calendar busy across the United States, Briscoe delivers as evening on the stuff nobody warns you about, offering comedy that's clean enough for the whole room yet sharp enough that you'll still be quoting his material in the parking lot before driving home. Briscoe's top-tiered Dry Bar Comedy Special has over 4 million full-episode views, while cuts from his comedy albums are in regular rotation on SiriusXM. The comic's “No Politics, No Cringe” approach keeps his audiences fully engaged and laughing throughout the entire show.

Briscoe's stories from years of headlining cruise ships around the world are side-splitting audience favorites, and his solo event “It's Not Mansplaining, It's Old Mansplaining, or How to Enjoy theof the Generational Divide” features hilarious slants and rants on bad jobs, a good marriage, travel mishaps, raising daughters, empty nesting, doctors, ungracefully aging, unsolicited advice, and living each day as a cautionary tale.

Tom Briscoe brings his night of comedy to the Orpheum Theatre on August 22 alongside local favorites Kathy Brennan as the evening's host and Lou Palomino as the featured guest comedian. Admission to the 7:30 p.m. show is $26, and more information and tickets are available by calling (309)342-2299 and visiting GalesburgOrpheum.org.
