Two For One Comedy Night at The Wagon Wheel Theatre-WARSAW, Indiana (February 12, 2013) - Calling all folks needing a good laugh! On Saturday, March 9th, the Wagon Wheel Theatre presents two nationally touring comedians…at one low price! This dual/headlining night of comedy features Dave Dugan, who has appeared over 200 times on The Bob and Tom show over the past two decades and contributed to over 25 Bob and Tom albums. One of Dugan's most recognizable characters is the politically incorrect, old-school BART McCALLISTER (of Bart and Sid fame). Dave's ability to adapt to each audience has made him a highly sought after comedian. His first national exposure was on the then ratings-leading Arsenio Hall Show and since has (aside from Bob and Tom) become a regular at the world famous Comedy Store in Hollywood and also has appeared numerous times on HBO, COMEDY CENTRAL and VH-1. You have likely heard Dugan on national commercials, as well. Also an award-winning voice actor, Dave can be heard on commercials that include Ford, Disney, Subway, Bass Pro, Edge Gel, Troy-Built Firestone, Erie Insurance, Dick's Sporting Goods and as a weekly voice for NASCAR programming on SPEED.
