yearWoodloch holdover
Held over for more than a year at Woodloch Pines Resort.
Al was not booked for one night and forgotten. Woodloch kept bringing him back for more than a year because his show connected with the resort’s multigenerational guests—parents, children and grandparents laughing together in the same room.
For family resort programming teams, that kind of run is meaningful proof: an act has to be reliable behind the scenes, easy for staff to work with and memorable enough for guests to keep responding.
“He’s engaging with the guests. He’s funny, he’s witty.”Patrick Kiezendahl · Woodloch Pines Resort
A show that connected with the room.
“Al tailored his show perfectly to our audience. His crowd interaction was spot-on, and his ability to read the room kept everyone laughing and entertained from start to finish. He was a huge hit, and we would love to welcome him back for another event!”Katherine Burns

The cast has opinions. Al has to live with them.
The comedy comes from distinct characters—not interchangeable puppets—and the wonderfully unpredictable conversation they create with Al and the audience.
Floyd L. Smith
Al’s longstanding partner who has all the answers and hysterical comebacks!
Muddy Paws
The canine comic who proudly practices his career as a “VEN-KILLO-KIST.”
Eleanor Paterson
Married in the 1960s to a stuffy, conformist husband, Eleanor is making up for lost time.
Performance credibility lives onstage.
Al brings more than 1,000 A&E appearances, national television credits on CBS and ABC, and 35 years of executive experience to every room. He knows how to prepare like a professional and still make the show feel spontaneous.
At Woodloch Pines Resort, that combination connected so consistently with multigenerational guests that Al was held over for more than a year. The result is an act presenters can trust and audiences remember.
