AN *AMAZING* EVENING WITH JOHN O'NEIL & JINNY SAGORIN
Jinny teams up with New England's "cabaret sensation," John O'Neil, for a night of cabaret at the Amazing Things Arts Centre in Framingham. In Act 1, roar at John's antics as he takes you on a hilarious romp through old Boston, Broadway past and present, and John's early forays onto the stage. In Act 2, celebrate with Jinny the merits of keeping life simple as she reminds us that a good sense of humor and the state of your heart matter more than the state of the world. Jinny and John appear with their music directors, Doug Hammer and Jim Rice.
The blend of their unique styles promises a memorable evening that will delight, captivate, and entertain!
Join John and Jinny for a special one-night only performance.

 One of New England's finest cabaret actors (Niagara Falls Gazette), JOHN O'NEIL has been called "a cabaret sensation" by Boston Magazine. A veteran of Television, Stage, Screen and Radio, John can be heard on film in short subjects for the American Cancer Society and on the Compact Discs If You're Irish, Come Into The Parlor, So: Kaye The Songs of Danny Kaye, and Freedom Merriment and Joy, produced by AFKA records. John performs regularly across the country and has been recognized by the Boston Globe as one of New England's best-known cabaret artists. Two of John's shows, Back to Enniskillen and 'So Kaye: The Songs of Danny Kaye, have received IRNE award nominations from the Independent Reviewers of New England. Reviewers have called John's newest show Not That You Asked "a perfect mix of standup comedy, song and personal anecdote" and "hands down the best cabaret of the year." Not That You Asked was also nominated for a 2005 IRNE award for BEST SOLO PERFORMANCE. John is a favorite performer at Boston's First Night celebrations and next spring he returns to Florida with his St. Patrick's Day show: An Irishman's Journey Home.
