Comedy Royalty Sammy Shore Hits a Funny Bone for Dog Rescue

The Palms Casino Resort and famed comedian Sammy Shore present an all-star charity fundraiser entitled “Funny Bones” benefitting local dog rescue organizations on Sunday, January 31, 2010, at 3 p.m.

The Funny Bones comedy jam boasts an all-star cast emceed by the always impressive talents of Sammy Shore, founder of LA’s famed Comedy Store and opening act for Elvis Presley; Bobby Slayton, The Pitbull of Comedy; and George Wallace, The New Mr. Vegas. Supporting Sammy’s event is Pauly Shore, comedy star of television and film and an array of talented friends, including Lance Burton, Vinnie Favorito, Frankie Scinta, Jeff Hobson, Dean Napolitano, Manny Olivera, Pam Matteson, Kathleen Dunbar and Pete Barbutti.
