Joker's Wild Comedy Series at Wild Rose Casino Clinton
<p>Wild Rose Casino & Hotel in Clinton announces that a second show in the Joker's Wild Comedy Series will return to the Oakwood Grand Ballroom!

His jokes are PG clean, centering around his marriage, family life, and ethnicity, poking fun at stereotypes and real-life experiences.</p><p>John Stage is a sharp-tongued thinker's comic who punches out of left field. He is a family man - like that inappropriate uncle we all have who makes Grandma blush!</p><p>Layne Johnson, from Peoria, IL, is offensive, and he likes to spice things up. He has material on home owning, dog owning, general labor, and popular expressions being turned upside down.</p><p>Jamie Duke, a Clinton local, whose routine is based primarily on life experiences, says, "Comedy is such an important thing, and we need to stop taking ourselves so seriously."</p><p>Tickets are available for purchase now through the Iowa Store Gift Shop at Wild Rose Casino & Hotel in Clinton, by calling toll free<br>(800) 457-9975, or by going online at www.wildroseresorts.com.</p><p>Tickets are $10, and after the show you can take your stub to Guest Services and redeem it for $10 Free Play.

Roadkill Confidential
<p>Sheila Callaghan's <em>Roadkill Confidential </em>is a wild ride on at least two different paths. It is a comic parody of the noir thriller that is also a deeply serious query into the limits of art. As much an installation as a play, energetic and full of surprises, it is just as provocative as it is funny.</p><p>For tickets, go to <a data-cke-saved-href="http://www.coe.edu/box-office" href="http://www.coe.edu/box-office">www.coe.edu/box-office</a> or call the Coe College Box Office at 319.399.8600. $15 General admission; $10 non-Coe students & seniors 55 and older. Free to Coe College faculty, staff and students with college ID.</p> 2022-08-29 16:00:00 -0500
