The Big Joe Henry Variety Show kicks off w/ E-Street’s Vini Lopez

One of the most enjoyable big entertaining shows kickoffs Wednesday night at 7:00pm July 28th on the boardwalk on the Franklin Ave entrance in Seaside Heights, NJ.

The Big Joe Henry Variety Show is a fun, entertaining show that has music, comedy and entertainment and will run for 5 consecutive Wednesday nights at 7:00pm starting July 28, 2021 through and including August 25th.

The first show this summer on July 28, 2021 has Big Joe Henry welcoming his musical guest former E-Street Band member and Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Vini Lopez who will join The Big Joe Henry Variety house band, led by musical director Pat Guadagno and The Big Band. The Big Band is made up of several members of Jon Bon Jovi’s Kings of Suburbia Band and has played with a “Who’s Who” in rock and roll. They are very good.

On the July 28, 2021 show you’ll hear the very funny comedian, as seen on HBO, ABC and NBC Jeff Norris, plus Irish step dancing champions Mary Kate and Dan Drew. We’ll play Stump the Big Band for prizes and Big Joe will tell a joke or two. It’s a free show, bring your beach chairs, family and friends and sit on the boardwalk and enjoy a great show with the feeling of late night meets Ed Sullivan.

Big Joe says” I can’t thank Seaside Heights enough, the mayor, the council and everybody for bringing us back to do one of my favorite shows!” “We have a jam packed schedule full of family entertainment that I know everyone will enjoy.”
