Always Entertaining 

“The best way to get into the Christmas spirit is to spend an evening with The Latecomers! Shari & Mike, along with their extraordinarily talented band, will have you laughing, clapping, singing, and reveling with their energetic, highly entertaining Christmas show. The Latecomers always deliver a rousing evening full of music, dance, and comedic material that’ll make your cheeks hurt from smiling—literally! We attend every year and wouldn’t miss it for the world. Highly recommend!”

We love performing USO shows for Veterans and our citizens.

Our USO show is a beloved favorite for Veterans and Memorial Day celebrations. We’ve even traveled beyond California to perform at military reunions, bringing music, memories, and gratitude to servicemembers and their families.

For the past three holiday seasons, we’ve had the joy of hosting The Latecomers at The Savory Palette for their Christmas show, and it has quickly become one of our favorite traditions. Each year our cozy space fills with laughter, music, dancing, and a true holiday spirit, and due to the growing demand, we are delighted to host two shows this year so more of our community can join in the celebration.

Cheers!

Our Christmas Show is a crowd-pleaser and a seasonal favorite. Music, dancing, comedy, and lively audience participation make every performance feel festive and fun. The show works well as a duet, but most people’s top pick is the version with a three-piece backup band.

Dance often features in the show, adding movement and rhythm. Shari has performed ballroom dancing nationwide for over 50 years, charming audiences with skill and charisma. Michael has become a superb partner, adding support and grace.

The five-piece Latecomers band brings an infectious energy to every performance. We get everyone up dancing and fully feeling the music. We are truly fortunate to be accompanied by skilled, well-seasoned, musicians.

Comedy is always part of our show. We love to get people laughing and fully enjoying themselves.

Owning a Melodrama Theater gave us an ample supply of lively comedy skits to share.
