Gene Perret had a gift for making us see the humor in every situation. Whether it was a quick-witted remark or a carefully crafted joke, he had a way of lightening the mood and bringing people together. That’s the idea behind The Friends of Gene Perret Comedy Show – a chance to gather, laugh, and remember a man who dedicated much of his life to making people laugh.
We hope you’ll make your plans to join Tom Dreesen, Wendy Liebman, and Dobie Maxwell on July 13, 2025 for this terrific show. All proceeds from this show will go to the making of The Comedy Writing Guru, a documentary about Gene. Tickets are available at https://www.ticketmaster.com/event/0B00616678B810A3.
Empty Chair - There will be two empty chairs at this show -- one for Gene and one for Sophia, a co-producer of The Comedy Writing Guru (and Gene’s granddaughter). You can contribute $1, $2 or any amount towards these seats. All Donors will be listed in the show program. Donations can be sent to Perret Ink, PO Box 786, Agoura Hills, CA 91376 or Venmo @PerretInk
Program – Do you have a product or service our audience would be interested in? You can place an ad in the program. Contact Linda for more information.
