I’ll be looking for you…
I did my stand-up comedy Friday night March 16th!
I’ was the opening act for Thom Taylor Friday night at Club Vegas in Springfield, MO. I went on at 9 PM & Thom followed me! He’s great & does a wonderful comedy Hypnotist act! I hope you got to see me there!
‘Phil’ the groundhog saw his shadow but… “The Groundhog is like most other prophets; it delivers its prediction and then disappears.”
Valentine’s Day!
“I love Valentine’s Day. When you’re a kid everyone gets a Valentine. It’s like ‘TO TIM, NICE PANTS, LOVE SCOTT’. It’s Valentines galore! ”
Branson!
Branson is having ‘Hot Winter Fun’ with many shows, motels, & shops open now! Check out my ‘2012 Branson Happenings’ page to see all the scoop.
Live & In-Person!
February 2nd I gave a lecture on characterization & improv! My lecture was at 7:30 PM at the Shepherd of the Hills Episcopal Church here in Branson. It was open to the public & it was one of the rare time you’ll see me as Terry Wayne Sanders & NOT a character! We had a great turnout & we all had a wonderful time learning from each other using principles from show business but how they work in real life everyday!
I hosted Karen Berka’s radio show a couple of times too! This month will find me all over the place too…
February 11th
Saturday, February 11th, I played ‘Joan Rivers’ in Hartshorne, OK. at the historic Liberty Theatre for their Valentine’s Day celebration! Also performing with me was ‘American Idol’ runner-up Matt Kester. We were treated like royalty & had a GREAT time!
Feb. 19th
I’ve volunteered to play ‘Barney Fife’ in Carthage, MO. He’s always a lot of fun!
Feb. 22nd
I was a guest judge at Branson’s 3rd annual ‘Gong Show’ on February 22nd! The third annual Branson Gong Show set for Wednesday, February 22 at 6:49pm at the Hamner Barber Theatre was to as SOLD OUT crowd! This hilarious show served as a benefit for the Branson Senior Center and the Meals on Wheels Program. Branson entertainer Jim Barber once again served as host with celebrity judges.
March 2nd & 3rd
And in March I’ll be back with the award winning gospel group, ‘Spoken 4’ for 2 show only in Jackson, MS! This union will be on March 2nd & 3rd at the Raymond Road Baptist Church. We ALWAYS have a great time. Their bass singer is Cecil Stringer who was with us in the Braschler Music Show!
Silver Dollar City
This is my 33rd year to perform at Silver Dollar City. I’m a member of the ‘Image Characters’ at Silver Dollar City so I play 4-5 characters a day all over this 54 acre 1800s theme park every day they are open 5 days a week & then I will be off Sundays & Mondays when SDC goes to their 7 day a week schedule. I’ll be playing…
During the SDC Fall Craft Festival I add a character I started back in 1985…
And at Christmas I am Santa’s helper, ‘Clarence Peabody’…

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!
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 the 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
