Biloxi, MS--March Madness will invade
Biloxi. Not as in Basketball, but the
kind of madness only showman Jeff
Beacher can bring to the stage. The IP
asino, Resort and Spa are proud to anounce
that the hottest show in Vegas
Beachers Madhouse” is coming to
iloxi. The show is part nightclub, part
ariety show, part comedy show and a
00% adrenaline rush.
Beacher, the creator and host of the
how, is a unique dichotomy. He is a
reative genius and a staunch
usinessman.
e has been touted as the new
Mr.LasVegas” and posts a audience of
tars such as Paris and �icky Hilton,
obe Bryant, �ick Lachey, Jessica
impson and �icole Richie to name a
ew. His multimillion dollar deal with
he Hard Rock Las Vegas insures that
Beacher and his insane; adreleine
pumping show will be a part of the
Vegas scene for years to come.
I sat down with Beacher at the Chill
Bar located inside the IP Casino Resort
Spa. His travel schedule has been hectic
as of late and his weariness was evident.
Despite that, his personality was affable
and endearing and he was as curious
about Biloxi as I was about him. Our interview
continued for two hours and the
more I learned about this soft spoken
genius, the more I wanted to know.
Beacher had been writing
comedy and pursuing his dream
from a young age. Raised in
Hewlett, Long Island, Jeff
knew he was destined for a
different life than those in his
suburban neighborhood. To
stay out of trouble and off the streets he
would hang out at the local eatery, sipping
chocolate milkshakes and scheming
pranks and impromptu routines.
There was no denying Jeff’s ability to
make people laugh. His high school
dean noting his businesses shrewdness
combined with an entrepreneurial spirit
stated “Jeff Beacher is going to be the
biggest comedian in the world or the
biggest loser ever.”
Jeff has been likened to the legendary
P.T. Barnum. His mind is constantly
creating and analyzing and his perceptions
are dead on.
In December of 2003, Beacher’s
Madhouse was born and opened its
doors at the Hard Rock Casino Las
Vegas. He made his first “splash” by diving
into a shark infested tank practically
naked while patrons dined nearby. He
has developed and promoted such insane
acts as “Little Kiss’ a midget sized version
of the original and “Mini Brittany”
a pint sized midget Spears. He takes
great delight in pushing the envelope and
has ruffled many feathers among the
conservatives. His fan base is loyal and
his shows are always sold out with fans
returning again and again.
His ability to draw crowds and his
amazing rise to success has not gone unnoticed
in the entertainment community.
Named “Mr. Las Vegas” by the publication
Las Vegas Weekly he was the recipient
of the key to the city presented to
him by Mayor Oscar Goodman on April
30, 2005. Jeff is thankful to the people
who helped him along the way to his unprecedented
success. He says,”At this
point in my life I have so many people to
thank. Most of all I’d like to thank my
best friend Harry Morton. He and his
father Peter have treated me nothing less
than family. They gave me my big break
and most importantly along the entire
ride they have treated
March 15 2pm
Gulfport, MS--The popular tourist event and local favorite,
celebrates the Irish heritage of so many of us on
the MS Gulf Coast, as well as the many blessings
we enjoy: faith, family and friends! The parade includes
more than 50 units, with marchers, antique cars,
floats, bag pipes and more! Spectators come from as far away as 100 miles, to
catch the unique "prizes" thrown from the many colorful units... wooden nickels,
beads, mini green beer steins, cabbages, potatoes and onions! The parade's
official mascot is "Mr. Finnigan", and he is joined each year by a Grand
Marshal and a Colleen, selected by the Quota Club!
me with the utmost love and respect.”
Starting in March Beacher plans to
take his “Variety show meets nightclub
meets circus” show on the road complete
with a tour bus. On the bus, headed south
from Vegas will be the four midget
Oompa Loompas (this you have to see to
believe) Tiny Kiss Silverman, and
Beachers Babes. Overflowing with gogo
dancers, contortionists, and every kind
of audience participation imaginable. The
mood in the showroom escalates to
frenzy as audience members dance on tables
and in the aisles. The tour will encompass
Mississippi Texas and Louisiana
with a stop in Biloxi on March 28 for a
show at the IP Casino Resort Spa.
