August 13, 2010 to August 13, 2010

What makes John Valby, who is better known as “Dr. Dirty,” so unique and entertaining is his ability to mix his musical talent with a mad-cap variety of "Dirty Ditties." Valby's repertoire is composed of popular songs, limericks and classical arrangements with the addition of some of his own original creations. Valby has made a career out of poking fun at his audiences and stretching the limits of free speech and accepted good taste from behind the piano. As a trained classical pianist Valby quickly realized that the demand was limited and turned to his new, dirtier material, which became instant hit. He has recorded and produced over 30 CDs and LPs. Nothing and no one remains sacred during a Dr. Dirty show.
Tickets: $15-$20. Please call 1-800-745-3000 for more information
