Tomas Kubinek: Certified Lunatic & Master of the Impossible
This man is a genius. Mr. Kubinek is part comic, part storyteller, part mad inventor, part clown and every bit a showman. I caught his act in April 1999 and again in 2002 and I have to say that I was crying with laughter and amazement by the end of his show. This man deserves an overflow audience and a standing ovation. He travels the United States and Canada through the year. If he is playing at a venue near you, GO! I promise, you will not regret it!
