Sinbad Leaves Them Laughing at VPAC
Sinbad’s performance Sept. 18 at the Valley Performing Arts Center at CSUN proved that the comedian still knows how to keep an audience entertained and in stitches. The evening opened with a musical performance by his daughter, Paige Bryan, and her band, highlighting some of the work on her new album. Immediately following his daughter’s performance, Sinbad took command of the stage and had the audience — which included his mother — laughing nonstop. His monologue touched on family, friends, politics, his home in the San Fernando Valley, race relations and more. Audience participation was high, and the banter that ensued between Sinbad and his fans fueled the comic throughout his high-energy set. Here are some images from the evening, which opened VPAC’s 2014-15 season.
