He has been seen on stage in sketch comedy, improv, solo piano concerts, and in his very own music & comedy variety shows. Sans sequins David has worked with The Guthrie Theater (MN), Oregon Ballet Theatre, Portland Opera, Oregon Symphony, and the Interlochen Arts Camp. Some of David’s favorite Liberace tribute highlights have been at Feinstein’s at the Nikko (CA), Feinstein’s at Hotel Carmichael (IN), eSPACE King Edward (Calgary, AB) and as a featured guest on two Under the Vegas Sun television episodes filmed at The Liberace Mansion in Las Vegas. MORE ABOUT Jillian Snow Harris Jillian is a singer and actor who graduated from the American Musical and Dramatic Academy in New York City. Some of her first Liza Minnelli tributes were at Gotham Comedy Club, the Laugh Factory, and ComixNYC. After seeing her perform, Michael Musto of the Village Voice said, “This could open up Minnelli to a whole new audience!” Eventually, Jillian fled New York so she could get some sleep and found exile in Portland, Oregon where she was featured in the U.S. premiere of “Liza, Liza, Liza.” While her sharp comic timing and Liza quirks will have audiences doubled over in laugher, it’s when she starts belting out songs that it quickly becomes clear that her talent is no joke.
