The Strand had a first on Saturday November 21, 2009.   Before the headline band on Saturday night we had a local comedian instead of another band.   Art takes many forms.  On Saturday night it took the form of Robert Lewis, dressed in his stylish orange prison uniform.

Robert did the pre show and post intermission warm-up for Push/Play.   This was his first time on stage doing comedy.   When (if) he hits the big time, he can say he got his start at the Strand in Shelbyville.   Until then, we don’t think he is leaving his day job!
