I ran accross these pictures, top one is Comedian Denny Zavett taken in 1983 in the Baton Rouge lounge and thought they might bring back memories for some of the older members (30+ years). Denny worked in a number of capacities at WDW but was on the Empress Lily for 7 or 8 years I believe. We saw him 3 or 4 different trips in the 80's. Very funny guy. Denny worked a total of 18 years at Disney. He mentions it on his website here http://www.dennyzavett.net/credentials.html

He does some Corporate gigs now. Does anyone else remember him and has anyone seen him lately?

where would he perform? empress lily is no more and comedy warehouse is closed.

Yeah, it's more like WDW left him.

The last time I saw him was at Dixie Landings (now PO Riverside:rolleyes:), in the Cotton Co-op Lounge (now River Roost Lounge:rolleyes:).
Solo.
Post Lilly.

Yep. I remember him well. He used to take song requests on business cards or cocktail napkins at the end of his show. I remeber that because we joked around one night and sent him a request that said "Sing New York, New York or we will mug you". He got a big kick out of it. Ahh, the good old days of the Village.
