Home | Upcoming Shows

BIG CHEESE AND THE JIVE RATS are keeping alive the jump swing tradition of Slim Gaillard, Louis Jordan, Louis Prima and the vout-o-rooney generation. This high-energy, frenetic & comedic novelty bebop show has band and audience alike clucking like chickens, barking like dogs, eating potato chips out of The Big Cheese's hand, and laughing in rhythm.

This combination of talent and savoir-faire is rarely found in one performer yet The Big Cheese has cleverly stumbled upon the magic recipe. His outfits are in a clash by themselves and his show guarantees memories to last a lunchtime.
