COMEDY COMES to Andiamo
West, Telegraph and 15 Mile,
Wednesday, Nov. 24 ... with Jeff Pirrani
and Mike Young doing their funny
stand-up bits for a lot of laughs ... Doors
to what general manager and partner
Jerry Vitale calls his "Comedy Cellar"

the guffaws starting at 8 ... Make reser-

At Andiamo Italia's Celebrity
Showroom on 14 Mile Road in
Warren, Sam Butera was splendid in
showing that he has lost very little, if
any, of his great touch as a super
entertainer.
Sam's recent show as the act before
The Platters, was sensational ... So
much so that many in the audience
couldn't see Sam and The Wildest as an
opening act ... The show of Sam Butera
and The Platters was as close to a Las
Vegas performance as you'll witness.
At 74, Butera still has it, and is a
lively jive cat with plenty of exciting
rhythm ... Rarely will you ever find an
ensemble that's more "together" than
Sam Butera and The Wildest ...
Whether he and the band are ram-
bling through some Louis Prima
charts or cooking up some of his own
arrangements, Butera and company
know precisely what the audience
wants and then delivers the product in
an entertaining package ... Sam vocal-
izes and plays a mean sax.
The Platters, doing gold-record
charts of its great hits, put on a good
show ... enjoyed by packed audiences
on all three nights. 11
