A rare, one night only event with this city’s favorite resident humorist. Also featuring the Dick Bright Band featuring Tommy Dunbar.

Jack Gallagher: Across the country, PBS viewers know the Emmy-winning Gallagher from his long running shows, "Money Track," "Money Moves," "Off-Limits" and "Kids, Cash and Common Sense." Network/cable television included his own ABC sitcom "Bringing Up Jack," and an occasional recurring role as Larry David’s doctor on the HBO Original Series "Curb Your Enthusiasm."

A favorite of talk/variety show hosts and audiences, the nationally known stand –up comedian has made numerous appearances across the years on "The Tonight Show" with both Johnny Carson and Jay Leno, as well as NBC's "Late Night with Conan O'Brien." And a certain generation knows him from the 1991 Bobcat Goldthwait cult classic, "Shakes the Clown."

But it is his one –man monologue shows commissioned by Buck Busfield and the B Street Theatre here in Sacramento that have created Gallagher’s die-hard fans.

The Dick Bright Band featuring Tommy Dunbar: Special guest from the Bay Area on this show only. Various band members have played with/ supported everyone from Tony Bennett and Ella Fitzgerald to Elvis Costello and Robert Cray. Dunbar was one of founders of The Rubinoos, the power pop group who put Berserkley Records on the industry map and Gallagher’s radar too.
