Come join BS Entertainment for a night of hot comedy, coming to you on the third Friday of every month at Cafe Santa Rosa in Peoria Heights.

Headlining: BlindStein and featuring Josh Freeman and hosted by Jeff Govednik .

Blind Stein is a showered gypsy who hails from the blue-collar bubble of West Peoria. This professional vagabond has been wondering the US for over a decade laughing, learning, and living up life. Blind Stein both fulfills and shatters stereotypes with his witty word play and life experiences.

Josh Freeman is a silver medal winning comedian from Springfield, Illinois. He draws his material from the absurdities of the world and his poor decision making skills. He has shared the stage with such acts as Larry Reeb, April Macie, and Ryan Singer.

Jeff Govednik’s comedy is a hypothetical conundrum that is difficult to explain. He is whimsically twisted combining thoughts that you should not have with unique musical sensibilities. His songs such as ”I’m Gonna Love You Til They Tazer Me” or “I’m 50” are demented, yet stuck in your head like a lawn dart.
