Who Will Richard Skipper’s Mystery Guest Be on June 18? Guess and Win Free Entry! (Hints here)

Who Will Richard Skipper’s Mystery Guest Be on June 18? Guess and Win Free Entry! (Hints here) It’s a contest!  Want to get into the June 18 brunch show for free when the irrepressible  Richard Skipper Celebrates Father’s Day ?  (The show is at the Laurie Beechman Theatre at West Bank Cafe, on Father’s Day, this Sunday, June 18 at 1 pm.) Well, put on your thinking cap.

One of the extra special moments in this ongoing series is an additional performance by a special mystery guest. Previous Mystery Guests have included Melba Moore, Anita Gillette, Hilary Kole, Stacy Sullivan, Jana Robbins, Seth Sikes, Carole Demas, and Ruby Rakos. The mystery guest is a closely guarded secret that people don’t know until the Big Reveal when you come to the show which will also feature performances by singers Sarah Rice, David Sabella, Warren Schein, and Mark Watson — plus, of course, the host and ever-quotable quipper: dapper whippersnapper Skipper, clapper known for enthusiastic applause and cheerleading.

NiteLifeExchange knows who the Guest will be,

But, alas, we are sworn to Skipper Secrecy.

We can not divulge this performer’s name.

Although a few hints could make it a game.

And if you can guess, you’ll get a prize:

You won’t pay the cover charge like the other guys

 So, if you want to get in free,

Think what the answers to these questions should be:

1. One of the syllables in this performer’s first or last name sounds just like one of the syllables in the name of this website: NiteLifeExchange.com.
2. Earlier this century, this performer hosted the MAC Awards and has won a slew of cabaret awards on both coasts.
3. Actually, this artist performed a song at the very first MAC Awards show.
4. This ageless performer did a cabaret show this spring (with more dates to come) which was reviewed at this website.
5. This performer debuted on Broadway in a musical in the 1980s, winning one major theatre award and was nominated for another.
6. This performer’s first or last name begins with the same letter as either the first or last name of Richard Skipper.
7. Onstage, this performer claims to have been raised by Keebler elves, toiling away at the task of inserting chocolate chips into cookies. We can believe it about this “tough cookie” whose current show’s title involves two other kinds of food.             

If you think you know the answer, please send your guess to scobarent@gmail.com
