Live, from Peoria, Illinois it’s Saturday Night starring this week’s host, Jan’s Tap with special guest stars, Dave Stovall’s Elvis Presley Experience and The Peoria Drag Queens. Now please welcome this week’s host, Jan’s Tap!
Check out the light show happening on the outside of Jan’s Tap! Looks like they’re going all out for this Viva Las Vegas Night! There’s Jacob who put this evening together and he’s standing in the shadow of Elvis!
As I walked in I saw the poster for this evening’s party featuring Dave Stovall who’s going to be performing his Elvis Presley Experience Show and then there’s going to be lip synching and dancing entertainment by The Peoria Drag Queens! I know there’s not another show like this in town tonight. Check out the light show on the ceiling! And behind the bar are Jan and John with an ice-cold bottle of Budweiser. The evening is off to a wonderful start!
As I looked over at the bar I saw the Happy Anniversary sign I presented to Jan last week and they’ve put it in a real place of honor, front and center over the bar! That’s so cool and thanks again to Chariie and his crew over at CJ Signs for doing such a wonderful job designing and printing that sign!
As you can see, it’s a full house here at Jan’s Tap for this Viva Las Vegas Night. There were covered dishes in the back for dinner and everyone’s having a great time. There’s Las Vegas-styled photos and decorations up for the show tonight. And check out the sound system, this is going to be a very professional show for sure!
The man himself has arrived! There’s Dave Stovall in full Elvis outfit and mode and he’s going over last minute details with Jacob and John. Then Jacob sat down at the controls, the crowd is ready and Elvis is just about to enter the building!
The Dave Stovall Elvis Presley Experience!
Dave Stovall’s Elvis Experience show is off and roaring and the crowd loves it! Dave does a fantastic job and he’s playing two sets here tonight! The show is energetic, fun and if you’re an Elvis fan, you have to see this act!
Dave gives out scarves to ladies throughout the show and while he started out lip-synching Elvis songs, he now sings live and he has an amazing voice and it sounds just like Elvis! From the outfits to the fun stage patter to the Elvis music, Dave Stovall performs an amazing Elvis Presley Experience show! In addition to club and professional shows, he’s also available for private parties and corporate events, contact him via facecrack for more information. Fantastic show Dave! Thank ya, thank ya very much!
Someone in the crowd had a photo of Dave from years ago, he’s been doing this act for quite a while and the experience shows in his one-of-a-kind Elvis show.
We had a little intermission before the next part of the show and I took advantage of this time to spend some quality time with my great friend and confidante, Bud Wiser.
And now the second half of the Viva Las Vegas night at Jan’s Tap is beginning!
The Peoria Drag Queens!
There’s quite a drag queen scene going on in Peoria and some of the local talent is performing here tonight. The performers lip-synch and dance to music and it’s campy, fun and very entertaining!
I wasn’t sure how the crowd at Jan’s Tap would react to a drag queen show, but everyone loved it! I heard some people early in the evening wondering what it would be like, but moments after it began everyone in Jan’s was instantly converted to the fun and excitement of a quality drag queen show.
The performers were so talented and it was so much fun! I’ve been to drag queen shows in New York City and these performers were every bit as entertaining as the one’s I’ve seen in New York. I couldn’t get photos of everyone, but the Peoria Drag Queens performing at tonight’s show included: Teresa Holliday, Cherice Nona, Securra Mann, and DeCevia Mann. Thanks to all of them for a fun and entertaining show, thanks to Dave Stovall for his fabulous Elvis Experience Show and of course thanks to Jan and everyone at Jan’s Tap for such a fun-filled and unique night of entertainment! Viva Las Vegas!
