TUOLUMNE, CA (May 3, 2011) – A number of well-known musicians and comedians will be performing at Black Oak Casino in June.

Popular comedians performing include April Macie, who won Howard Stern’s “Funniest, Hottest Comedienne” contest and Michael Winslow, who is known as “The Man of 10,000 Sound Effects” – with his uncanny ability to imitate anything from the sound of wet squishy sneakers to guitars roaring.
