Sid Davis Headshot
November 12 - November 16

Sid Davis

Those were comic icon Joan Rivers’ words about Sid Davis, her opening act for her 2014 tour. Sid’s infectious wit was cultivated growing up in on Ohio farm town.   He grew up idolizing comedy legends like Red Skelton, Garry Shandling and Johnny Carson "I dreamed of being a sitcom character.” Following a 20-year airline career, Sid finally pursued the dream he’d missed earlier in life but found his age of entry a barrier. When notable mentors encouraged Sid to utilize his exceptional situational writing skills on stage, his comedy went to another level. “My age is now an advantage.  I’m the writer, director and star of my own sitcom.”
After seeing Sid Davis’ hilarious and relatable comedy, you'll agree with Joan Rivers:
​“Sid Davis is terrific!”

Scotty's early career was spent counseling teens in drug rehabilitation and group homes, which helped develop his light-hearted perspective on life.
