"Gordy Pratt: The Original Fabulous ONE GUY"

Expect hysterically funny comedy and mesmerizing Spanish guitar playing in Gordy's truly unique stand-up musical comedy show. From Rogaine to Road Kill, from the pitfalls of parenting to the process of aging gracefully (or not), from the birth of a baby to the demise of the 8-track, Gordy's family friendly baby boomer humor is guaranteed to make you laugh, make you cry ... make you laugh so hard you cry.

Gordy's unique playing style mesmerizes audiences. Fingers fly as he plays Bach and Bluegrass in the same breath, Mozart on "12 cups of good, strong cowboy coffee," and a foot-stomping turn of "Classical Gas."

In Gordy's character-driven comedy, you'll meet Orville T. Saddlesore, "a chewed up old cowboy" who offers up Words of Western Wisdom; Joe California, a cool dude struggling to survive his first winter; Sven Norskypoop ("Ya, you betcha!"); Joe Prosciutto, a New Yorker suffering culture shock; and , of course, Gordy, a character in his own right.

 A veteran entertainer, extraordinary guitarist, comedy writer and published songwriter, Gordy has performed his stand-up musical comedy show for hundreds of corporations, associations and other organizations, large and small. He has opened for Kenny Chesney, the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, The Beach Boys and many more.

Called the "Victor Borge of the Guitar," his unique comedy style brings laughter to music and music to laughter. His shows regularly receive standing ovations from audiences of all ages.
