Doing it Right: The Stories that Make Us

Doing it Right! Ep. 83 | Tom Dreesen, Comedian (He Made Frank Sinatra Laugh)


Listen Later

Comedian Tom Dreesen was a scrappy little boy with a shoe-shine box in South Chicago trying to make money for his 7 brothers and sisters. Tom later earned the right to front Frank Sinatra’s shows for 14 years. “It was like being in rarified air,” he recounts.

What was it like to fly in his private jet all over the world? And stay in his home six times a year? You’ll find out as Tom describes the Frank Sinatra he knew – the man behind the scenes with stories not heard before.

Tune in Monday at 12:30CT as Tom relates his life’s journey as a world-renowned Stand Up Comedian who worked with the greats, including David Letterman, Johnny Carson, and Sammy Davis, Jr.

His new book, Still Standing: My Journey from Streets and Saloons to the Stage, and Frank Sinatra is available on Amazon.
