Carl is one of, if not the, most physical comedians on the comedy club circuit today. His act centers on a unique storytelling style in which he incorporates quick-witted improvisation with physical reenactments of his tales. “I’m a scene-ist. I bring up a subject and then perform it. It’s not jokes.” – Carl LaBove

Erik Mackenroth believes there are no boundaries when it comes to comedy. He believes audiences should have an open mind and be ready to hear and see anything.

CALIFORNIA WOMEN HITS JACKPOT AT RIVIERA HOTEL & CASINO LAS VEGAS


Cynthia Anne Chevalier of Los Angeles, California, won a $414,676 Megajackpot® while playing Wheel of Fortune® quarters at the Riviera Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada on Monday evening, April 12.

Chevalier, a clerk vacationing with her husband, felt extra lucky on the day she became the jackpot winner. “I hadn’t played Wheel of Fortune in a while and this machine was calling me.” Chevalier played only $25.00 in quarters before she hit the Megajackpot. “I didn’t know I had hit the jackpot until the lady next to me said I was a winner. I was ecstatic.”

Rick Scheer, Director of Slot Operations at the Riviera said, “It’s a wonderful feeling to personally witness and share in the joy of such a life changing experience. Our guests were thrilled to see her win the $414,676 jackpot.”

Chevalier and her husband visit Las Vegas two to three times a year. Her jackpot will be paid out in annual installments. When asked about her plans for the winnings, Chevalier said she would use the money to help fund her retirement, arrange a family reunion in Las Vegas, and help her daughter and grandchildren.
