Clipperman is a nationally-recognized comedian and will celebrate 15 years since his performance at the world famous Apollo Theater (NYC). He continues to appear on comedy stages, crisscrossing states from New York on the East Coast to California on West Coast, and downward to the Florida Keys, dropping laughs and garnering a strong fan base.

Clipperman has received hundreds of standing ovations delivering performances that demonstrate his love to entertain and determination to make you laugh.

Clipperman has worked with some of the greatest entertainers in the business and has invited special friends to join him for the occasion. Detroit’s renowned ballroom dance trainer Kevin Collins will perform ballroom dancing exhibition. He is self-described as being responsible for bringing ballroom back to Detroit in the late 80’s.

“I have been contemplating a partnership that could also positively address the state of mind: my part is to bring the laughter,” Clipperman stated. Partnerships with nonprofits and churches with outreach programs focused on making a positive difference in communities is CFC’s give-back to the community and show of participation in the movement forward. On this occasion, each ticket sold will benefit two organizations: (1) Operation HOPE, Inc., since 2005, has provided core financial literacy and economic empowerment served primarily through the Banking on Our Future youth educational program; focused on silver (not civil) rights empowerment, making free enterprise work for everyone throughout the city to strengthen low- and middle-income families and help build an economy that works for everyone. Ryan Mack serves as president of the Michigan Market. "We are trying to form an economic movement. Combining comedy, a medium we all can understand, is perfect way to help support a much needed economic work for the people. On the 3rd of December we will laugh as well as be empowered,” Mack stated. www.operationhope.org/5117

And (2) Nehemiah Baptist Church launched in 2010 by the founding pastor, 10 Baptist pastors and 66 members sanctioned the need for a church dedicated to helping people holistically. NBC works with collaborative community partners to engage and resurrect block clubs through activities and events to therapeutically build healthy relationships and nurture bonding among neighbors in pursuit of restoring hope in disengaged neighborhoods. Founding Pastor Dr. Audry L. Turner serves as lead organizer. “We want to bring people together for a time to laugh and dance, reintroducing decency and building healthy relationships in our communities for Christ sake,” Pastor Turner stated.
