Tom Dreesen’s uniquely American trajectory took him from desperately impoverished roots in the streets and saloons of Harvey, Illinois to sharing a stage with Frank Sinatra. Tom’s path is the stuff of both inspiration and legend. One of America’s finest standup comics, he served as Frank’s opening act for 14 years, becoming a most trusted friend. Tom’s gift with a yarn endeared him to Mr. Sinatra which in turn provided Tom with so many more sensational stories to share. He's serving up some of his finest right here with Fritz and Weezy.
