Can you see me somewhere else?

Yes, you can!  I’ve been an admirer of Joan Rivers since I first saw her on TV in the early 70′s!   I started impersonating her when I was with The Braschler Music Show – that would have been around 1987 so…  I still perform as her today – it’s the #1 character requested that I do.  Long story-short, 2 years ago I flew to Minneapolis, MN. (Thanks to QVC & my sister, Jennifer) & spent the day with her.  A film crew that had been following her for over 1 year was with her.  They found out about my affiliation with Joan so I am in the new documentary called, ‘Joan Rivers – A Piece of Work’.  It is rated R for strong adult language, but it is a real look into the life of the hardest working person in show business!

Joan signed, “Dear Terry – Great to see you again – Joan Rivers”

Speaking of hard working women…

The GOOD  News & the BAD News… 

The GOOD news is my BIG ‘Homer Lee & Friends Reunion Show’ was a MAJOR success to all the fans who got to see it Sunday, August 26th at 3 PM at the Hamner-Barber Theatre!  The BAD news is…

 

The show was SOLD OUT!  Yes, I’m thrilled the response has been amazing to this 1-time only event.  There will be a triple DVD available right here at Homerlee.com soon, so please check back in & get your order!  Thank you to everyone who has made this show possible!  

This was a one time-only show reuniting me (And many of my favorite characters) with some of my best friends in the business & in my life!  Bob Leftridge is the ‘voice of the show’ as M.C.,  Barbara Fairchild, Clay Cooper, Doug Gabriel, The Braschlers, Tony Roi, cast members from ‘The Toby Show’, & many, many more.  Almost 30 performers & some BIG surprises!  An action-pack, fun-filled, entertainment extravaganza!   Plus, we had a silent auction & 100% of the proceeds from that went to ‘Camp Quality’ – a camp for kids with cancer.  We raised over 2,800!  Thank you for  joining us for the BEST show of the season & helping out a very worthy cause!

 

         

 

 

 

 

 

 

We’ll see you there for this once in a lifetime event!  

Camp Quality is a summer camping experience and year-round support program for children with cancer. Many difficult physical and emotional challenges face a child, and his or her family, when battling cancer.

Can you see me somewhere else?

Yes, you can!  I’ve been an admirer of Joan Rivers since I first saw her on TV in the early 70′s!   I started impersonating her when I was with The Braschler Music Show – that would have been around 1987 so…  I still perform as her today – it’s the #1 character requested that I do.  Long story-short, 2 years ago I flew to Minneapolis, MN. (Thanks to QVC & my sister, Jennifer) & spent the day with her.  A film crew that had been following her for over 1 year was with her.  They found out about my affiliation with Joan so I am in the new documentary called, ‘Joan Rivers – A Piece of Work’.  It is rated R for strong adult language, but it is a real look into the life of the hardest working person in show business!

Joan signed, “Dear Terry – Great to see you again – Joan Rivers”

Speaking of hard working women…

Nice to hear from you!

I am always humbled & flattered by those who stop to say, “Hey Homer Lee!” either here or at one of my jobs.  Thanks for your love & support over these 33 years.  It means so much to me & my family, especially at Christmas time with your cards & letters.

God bless you & yours!

Always,

Terry ‘Homer Lee’ Sanders
