About the Artist: "A masterpiece!"—Los Angeles Times

He's a musician! He's an inventor! He's a nut!  He's been called the Einstein of entertainers, a wizard of one-liners, and a lightning bolt of lunacy. His astounding gadgets, preposterous songs, impeccable comic timing, and kooky take on classic vaudeville have thrilled and entertained fans of all ages for over 55 years. 

Al Simmons is a creative genius whose highly original performances of profound wackiness and of off-the-wall inventions have taken the arts of Music and Comedy to unparalleled heights of hilarity. Young or old, you cannot fail to appreciate this man's frenetic stage antics and mind-boggling lovableness.
