He's the "Entertainer of the Year" in Las Vegas,and his show is the
hottest ticket 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 had not 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, <strong class="bioHigh">Gans</strong>
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 athlete. 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, <strong class="bioHigh">Gans</strong>
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.
