Gary Owen has been entertaining American audiences for more than a decade with his side-splitting comedy. Having performed to sold-out audiences in all the major comedy clubs and theatres across the country, Owen is one of America’s most beloved comedians and was proclaimed by Ebony magazine as Black America’s “Favorite White Comedian.”
Owen will be a Houston's Improv for the next two weekends. Audiences can now see Owen in his fourth Showtime comedy special, "Gary Owen:DoinWhatIDo", which premiered in September. The Showtime special is a follow-up to his three previous Showtime specials, “I Got My Associates,” in 2018, and “I Agree with Myself” and “True Story,” both on Showtime in 2015.

Brothers Joel and Luke known as For King & Country have been performing their hard-hitting rendition of “Little Drummer Boy” in their concerts for years this weekend the duo will be at Houston's Toyota Center.
The two recently spoke to Nancy Kruh of People.com,"It's very basic," Joel Smallbone, 36, tells PEOPLE, explaining how he and his brother cracked the "Little Drummer Boy" code. "This is a song about a boy who's playing a drum for Jesus. And here we are, seven guys [in the band] playing a load of drums. Why didn't Bing Crosby or Frank Sinatra ever think of this? We just feel like these slightly dumb, very obvious Australian fellows who did something that, for whatever reason, no one ever thought of."

SIGGNO has been around for almost 15 years, a group whose freshness continues to this day.
This weekend Siggno with Sólido and Chris Pérez is at the Arena Theatre with their "ReconeXion Tour XXI".
The group is made up of the original union of musicians from different regions of Texas and Florida, SIGGNO is characterized by being a musical group that exudes originality both in its musical proposal and in its image.
His first production, titled “Al Principio,” quickly caught on with audiences throughout Texas, and opened the doors to the music industry for them. In 2002, SIGGNO recorded their second album, “Por amor”, and it became a watershed in the career of this young band, as it earned them the highest recognition that any musician could wish for in the American Union: his nomination for the prestigious Grammy Award.
