Terry Fator recalls a headliner popular in Las Vegas a generation ago who sang, performed comic impressions and made a name for himself.
His name was Danny Gans. The popular headliner started his impressive, dozen-year run in Vegas at the then-Stratosphere. Gans would later hopscotch to the Rio, Mirage and finally Wynn, where he performed up until his death on May 2, 2009.
Fator’s career has often intersected that of Gans, who was among his entertainment inspirations. Fator opens at The Strat Showroom, a 5 p.m. show titled, “One Man, A Hundred Voices, A Thousand Laughs,” on May 23. Tickets are on sale Tuesday at TheStrat.com or at the hotel box office.
Fator closed his most recent Strip residency, at New York-New York’s Liberty Loft, on March 26.
