The first annual Las Vegas Comedy Festival was announced at the Stardust
May 29 by producers Mark Allen and Steve Caito...Kick off is September
4-8 at the Stardust where a Comedy Hall of Fame should be
instituted...Something like that is long overdue...Of course, Wayne

A bevy of celebs will be on hand June 14 at the Anthem Country Club in
Henderson for the Marilyn (Monroe) Children's Benefit...For details call
702-740-5297. It was a lonely turnout for the Saints and Sinners May 29,
but head honcho Sherry Levin promises better days. Comedian Pete
Barbutti did a super job and my thanks to John Martle (Pahrump's Win
Realty) for the helping hand. Public administrator Dan Ahlstrom (an old
friend) was on hand to shake hands. The Dino Crupis helped Rana Goodman
and myself celebrate our birthday at the Aladdin's superb Tremezzo
