Mentalist: Sean Bott

8 p.m., Saturday, October 6, 2012
Waldner Performing Arts Center (WPAC)
Although most agree Sean’s mental feats are freakin’ awesome, it is his comedic timing, improvisational skill, and his hilarious charactervoices that wins audiences over. When not performing in front of a camera or doing voiceover work for the animation industry or radio, Sean is nearly always in front of an audience. His fast-wit, wacky characters, and comedy improvisation make his mental act as addicting as some Peruvian coffees. Join us to witness this amazing show!
