About Sarge
With his mix of comedy, singing and piano playing, Sarge is a legitimate triple threat and a rare find. He was born during the Civil Rights Movement to a Jewish mother and black father, who gave him up for adoption. Fortunately, he was quickly adopted by a couple who raised him in Long Island. His artistic talents surfaced on his 6th birthday after his parents took him to see The Sound of Music on Broadway. When they returned home from the show, Sarge sat down at the family piano and began to play songs from the show entirely by ear. It was then that his parents knew they had something special on their hands.
At age 7, Sarge would do impressions and tell jokes in between hands of his grandpa Herman’s card games. It was while watching Don Rickles entertain the crowd on a trip to the Catskill Mountains with his grandpa that Sarge set his sights on becoming a professional comedian. Ironically, today he is often compared to Rickles largely due to his rapid fire, off-the-cuff style of hilarious observational comedy. As has been proven hundreds of times, Sarge has the rare ability to create an uproarious 90-minute comedic performance on the spot by just walking into a room.
Sarge found himself opening for some of the biggest names in music – Natalie Cole, Aretha Franklin, Paul Anka, The Beach Boys, The Four Tops, Taylor Dayne, Donna Summer, and Wayne Newton, just to name a few. These high-profile gigs enabled Sarge’s act to evolve from a comedy appearance to an entertainment performance because he learned to weave his own musical talents into his shows.
Sarge is one of the highest-energy, multi-talented acts in show business today. Not only a hysterical stand-up comedian, Sarge sings in his own voice and a dozen others including Harry Connick Jr., Sammy Davis Jr., Lionel Richie and Stevie Wonder. Additionally, his dead-on impressions of Marv Albert, Mike Tyson, Kermit the Frog and Gilbert Gottfried leave audiences howling and clamoring for more.
