Gonna Rock You Silly!

Skip Griparis presents his extraordinary comedic and musical stage show, featuring satirical impressions of dozens of stars – from Frank Sinatra, to Buddy Holly, to Paul McCartney, to Sylvester Stallone, to David Copperfield, to Prince, to Dave Mathews! 

Skip’s incredible, high energy tour de force showcases a unique blend of precise, sidesplitting impressions – clean, insightful satire – virtuoso guitar picking – and, an astonishingly versatile 3½ octave vocal range that sends the folks home buzzing, “What a voice!  And he looks like everyone he does!”

Skip’s credits are extensive.  He has headlined many major comedy clubs across the country, from Dangerfield’s in New York to the Ice House in Los Angeles.  In his home town of Chicago, he headlined the premier club, ZANIES, for four consecutive weeks, a run unmatched in the club’s 30-year history.  With his kaleidoscopic talents in comedy, acting and music, Skip bursts with more talent and musical fun than you ever thought possible from one guy and a guitar.  Period.
