hamparty1Those of you who attended our very first TAM Talent Show – The Ham Party at TAM 7 – know that it was a roaring success, with many great performances and awesome contributions by host George Hrab and judges Sean McCabe, Alan Melikdjanian, and Richard Saunders.

Well, this year, at 9pm Friday, July 9th, we’re bringing The Ham Party 2 to TAM 8! We’re stepping it up even further and bringing you nothing less than the best talent program the skeptical world has ever seen.

Be sure to read through this whole article for a breakdown of what you’ll get if you purchase a ticket to The Ham Party 2, as well as the guidelines for submitting yourself as a contestant. If you are chosen as one of the performers for this event, your admission to The Ham Party will be waived, and you will be eligible to win some great prizes.

But first, let me talk about what The Ham Party 2 experience will be like.

This year, all three of our judges are real Vegas performers who have the know-how required to critique your talent — but don’t worry, we haven’t brought on Simon Cowell in disguise.

This year, our judges are:

- Master jazz pianist Mike “Jonesy” Jones, who you may have seen playing at the Penn & Teller show at the Rio

- The hilarious Mac King of Mac King’s Comedy Magic Show at Harrah’s

- Fab musician Steve Craig, who performs as John Lennon in Planet Hollywood’s Fab Four Live.

Our host this year will be talent connoisseur Ed Sullivan, played by Paul Terry of Fab Four Live. That’s right — if you perform at The Ham Party 2, Ed Sullivan will support you during your judges’ critique!

Attendance to The Ham Party 2 is a mere twenty dollars, and promises to be an excellent time, with at least ten talents showcased and a cast of hilarious, sharp-witted performers to narrate the experience.

Keep in mind that all performances should be around eight minutes long (this includes setup time!) — and that after ten minutes, we will dismiss you from the stage due to time constraints.

Keep in mind that your performance is all you — you must bring your own props (if you have any) to the stage with you. None will be provided, and we ask that you have the ability to carry your act onto the stage and back off again by yourself.

Remember: If you are chosen as a performer in The Ham Party 2, your admission will be waived, and you’ll be eligible to win fantastic prizes!
