Piscopo will appear on stage, sign autographs and be available for photo ops on Wednesday, August 1. He will also perform his act for the Gold and Captain’s Chair Parties on, respectively, Thursday and Friday night. During those shows, which will feature full dinners, Piscopo will be accompanied by a big band.
