Born at the age of three in northern Illinois, Frank Caliendo was already ahead of his time. Even on the day of his birth, Frank's two younger brothers knew something was funny. Before he could even speak, Frank's mother noticed him doing an incredible impersonation of a young Dudley Moore. Of course Frank's father reasoned that all babies sound like they are drunk and heave all over themselves, but that is not the point. This kid had something special. He seemed likely to perhaps have a chance to maybe someday possibly become questionably close to one of the funniest persons alive.

Of course Frank didn't always want to be a stand up comedian. At a youthful age, Frank boarded a train to head for baseball's spring training as a fireball left-hander with blazing speed. After a short stop in Iolla, where he struck out one of baseball's greatest players with three straight pitches, Frank re-boarded the train to meet a woman who with the pull of a trigger would knock him out of baseball for the next sixteen years.

Back during the days when Michael was still called "Air", Frank became particularly aware of his abilities to impersonate. First was a garbage can, and then a pole, and even a small garden weasel. However, after transitioning through sixteen straight hours of anthropomorphic activity, Frank stumbled upon his best and foremost impression. His ability to re-create the daily activity of paramecium was simply uncanny; especially when he would split in two. Of course, biologically, one can only evolve to a certain point before the world must be allowed to view such activity. Thus, we give you the current organism in his existing status; bold, strong, funny, and hermetically sealed for your enjoyment... The man formerly known as "obesive-one-kenobe"...Mr. Frank Caliendo. May the farce be with you.

Frank's impressive list of impressions includes:
Chris Farley, Adam Sandler, Jerry Seinfeld, David Letterman, Paul Schaefer, John Madden, Robin Williams, Bill Cosby, Jay Leno, Terry Bradshaw, Howie Long, James Brown, Jimmy Johnson, Jim Rome, President George W. Bush, Bill Clinton, Al Pacino, Robert DeNiro, Sean Connery, Andy Rooney, Jonathan Winters, Rod Roddy, Pat Summeral, Arnold Schwarzenegger, William Shattner

Don’t miss him here live at the State Theatre, Saturday, September 22nd on his only stop in this area during his fall tour!
