Cocktail hour starts at 7 PM at the Oasis Golf and Conference Center. John Cooper said, “It will be an evening of entertainment, laughter and fun - the laughter begins at 8 PM.”
Cooper said, “Headlining, will be one of the hardest working comics behind a microphone, PJ Walsh. He's known for his quick wit, and boundless energy.” The opening act will be Dan Mahoney.
Walsh has been an “opener” on Larry the Cable Guy’s “Tour of America” and “The Right to Bare Arms” tours. Walsh has also made a name for himself opening for other famous blue collar comedians Jeff Foxworthy, Bill Engvall and Ron White. Currently, he is on a nationwide tour of comedy clubs.
Walsh can be seen in Larry the Cable Guy’s “Git-R-Done” DVD, Ron White’s “They Call Me Tater Salad” DVD and plays a role in the Lionsgate feature film “Delta Farce” starring DJ Qualls, Bill Engvall and Larry the Cable Guy.

During his career, Walsh has also performed at the 2002 Winter Olympic Games, he took first place in the 2002 Rocky Mountain Laugh-Off, and was a finalist in the 2002 Seattle International Comedy Competition. In January 2003, he got national attention with his appearance on CBS’ “Star Search”.
