Kentos Comedy And Burlesque Cabaret

My friend Kenneth Komoto (aka Kento) was a great comedian. I had seen him twice efore this show at Balloonmaster events, once performing. I forget how I got invited to shoot this show, but it was probably through my buddy Scorch The Clown.

This was the second to last show they did in the main ballroom of the Clarion Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas. I featured the burlesque troupe Bang Bang Bombshells, comedian Tomer Benvenisti, Magician Ariann Black, The Balloonmaaster and Kento in two separate sets. It was a great show.

Immediately after this show I shot The Ballonmaster's show. It was a terrific evening for me.

Kento passed away a year or so back. I had only known him personally for a brief time, but after I left Vegas we kept communicating. I miss him. I got a bit misty looking through these photos and expanding the collection of images below.

I hope you enjoy the images below.
