Gold Coast Arts Center is proud to present an evening of side-splitting “Comedy with Sarge” at the Great Neck South Middle School on Thursday, May 18 at 8 p.m.

If you’ve seen him, you know what that means. And if you haven’t, you’re in for an amazing and hilarious experience! Sarge is an entertainer who has performed worldwide to adoring audiences. His comedy, vocal gifts, and stunning display of dexterity as a pianist have wowed crowds for decades. 

Born in Miami Beach, raised in Great Neck, both bi-racial and Jewish, Sarge’s one-man comedy show is a blizzard of hilarious stories torn directly from his extraordinary life.

And as though his comic talents weren’t enough, he sits down at the grand piano, and you’ll be shocked (we promise) at his Julliard-trained musical mastery. Sarge embodies a unique blend of multi-talents and brilliance not often seen today.

Sarge is an extraordinary entertainer, a triple threat: A musical piano savant, amazing improvisational comedian, and singer. Sarge is also a highly sought-after motivational speaker and for the last 7 years has been working in treatment centers and recovery residences, bringing a revolutionary and groundbreaking modality of “Comedy Therapy” to people suffering from addiction.

Last year, his first comedy recovery film “Sarge Behind Bars”, shot entirely on location at the Casper Wyoming Reentry Prison, placed second at the “REEL Recovery Film Festival” in New York and Los Angeles.

If that weren’t enough, in 2017, Sarge released his autobiography and motivational book, “Black Boychick,” which traces his hilarious, inspirational life of twists and turns. Today, he is one of the highest energy, multi-talented acts to tour. Not only a hysterical stand-up comedian but also Sarge Sings in his own voice and in a dozen others including Harry Connick Jr., Sammy Davis Jr., Lionel Richie and Stevie Wonder! His dead-on impressions of Marv Albert, Mike Tyson, Kermit the Frog and Gilbert Gottfried leave audiences howling and clamoring for more.

The legendary film director Garry Marshall said about Sarge, “in all my years in show business I’ve never seen a happy comedian and Sarge is a happy comedian…He will make you very happy…He’s as funny or funnier than anyone I’ve ever worked with, and I worked with Robin Williams, Gleason and Lucy.”

Sarge has been featured on HBO and Comedy Central, and has performed with celebrities like Natalie Cole, Paul Anka, and The Beach Boys.

The warm-up act for Sarge is Marla Schultz. Marla is a comedian, actress, and TV host. As a comedian, she’s headlined all over the country, entertained the troops overseas, and toured nationwide, opening for Chelsea Handler. Television credits include a second appearance on Comics Unleashed, Who Wants to Date a Comedian, E! Entertainment Television’s The Entertainer with Wayne Newton, and so much more!
