Danny Gans chosen “Entertainer
of the Year” in Las Vegas, has one of the hottest shows in town. He’s
being called the finest singer-comedian-impressionist-actor in the business
today, by entertainment critics and his peers alike and audiences of all
ages go wild over his award winning show. Who is he? He’s Danny
Gans.
Gans hadn’t planned to be an
entertainer. His boyhood dream was to play third base for the Los Angeles
Dodgers, and he was, in fact, drafted by the Kansas City Royals, while he
was still attending high school in California. Sadly, an injury forced him
to decline the offer-but, sometimes, opportunity knocks more than once.
While in college, Gans turned down
another draft offer, this one from the Chicago White Sox. Two years later,
his life long dream came true as he signed that contract and was sent to
the minor leagues to start his career as a professional athelete. But, not
long after it all came to a crashing halt as a career-ending injury turned
his life upside-down.
With love and encouragement from
friends and family, Gans shifted his focus from baseball to entertainment.
He had been blessed with a marvelous singing voice, the ability to make people
laugh and a rare presence that would manifest itself in his new
career.
Gans spent 15 years traveling throughout
the United States, working at his craft and perfecting a vast repertoire
of impressions. At the same time he became one of the most sought-after
performers in the prestigious corporate world, often playing to stadium-sized
crowds for major, international companies such as IBM and McDonald's and
was the darling of the Fortune 500 list. Fellow entertainers such as Bill
Cosby and Natalie Cole raved about Gans, and it became apparent that he was
destined to be a star.
In 1995 Danny was staring on Broadway
in his one man show. However, between New York and 200 concert dates a year,
he found himself longing to be with his wife and three children. So, when
the opportunity to move his show to Las Vegas presented itself, where he
could settle down to a life with his family, Gans knew it was the right
move.
In doing so, Gans’ commitment
to his family had been doubly rewarded; the family is happy to call Las Vegas
home, and Gans has taken the town by storm. On top of record-breaking crowds
and consistently sold out shows, Gans has been showered with accolades and
awards. He’s the talk of the town, and his name is on the lips of visitors
even before they arrive in Las Vegas.
Gans is an integral part of the Las
Vegas community, too. He recently hosted the 4th Annual Danny Gans Invitational
Golf Tournament. More than $75,000 was raised for Boys Town of Nevada and
the Southern Nevada Junior Golf Association, and plans for the 5th annual,
star-studded event are underway. He also funds the Danny Gans Golf Academy
which allows children to learn how to play golf for free. In addition, he
is involved with the Lili Claire Foundation performing annually to raise
research money for William's Syndrome.
Gans also finished recording his
first album, on Sony’s Epic label. Award-winning producer, Michael
O’Martian produced Gans’ inaugural album which climbed to #19 on
the Christian pop charts.
Completing the picture of success,
Gans’just celebrated two years of sold-out shows in his 1,250-seat theater
at the Mirage, and was again named "Las Vegas Entertainer of the Year" for
the 6th straight year in a row.
He may not be playing third base
for the Los Angeles Dodgers, but he's hitting home runs nightly in the theatre
which bares his name. Danny Gans is truly living a dream come
true.
