Additional Show Dates :
Director/writer/producer David Zucker has established himself as one of Hollywood’s (or at least Wisconsin’s) most successful filmmakers. Starting out after college in Milwaukee, David, with brother Jerry, and friend Jim Abrahams, created the Kentucky Fried Theater, in the back of a Madison, WI bookstore. After moving the show to Los Angeles with their groundbreaking style of outrageous sketch comedy, they became the most successful theater group in Los Angeles history. After parlaying that success into KENTUCKY FRIED MOVIE, David, Jim, and Jerry conceived the idea that would create an entirely new film genre.  AIRPLANE! broke all conventions, beginning a streak of hilarious movies including TOP SECRET!, RUTHLESS PEOPLE, the NAKED GUN franchise, BASEketball, and SCARY MOVIE 3, 4 and 5. David also produced the successful, but not so hilarious A WALK IN THE CLOUDS and PHONE BOOTH.  He resides in Los Angeles and is hopeful for a 2020 NFL season.
