Thrilled and elated to be a part of Indigo Scott is delighted to unleash evening after evening of power packed variety on the well deserving entertainment-thirsty audiences of DC.

Willen have embarked on a quest to provide the audience with all they will need except the babysitter. Bob Mondello of the City Paper called Burgess “A one man musical marvel”. Joe Banno says, “That Burgess is crazy!”

Joe has appeared in cabaret performances at venues as diverse as The Prince Theatre, Mimi’s American Bistro, Mr. Henry’s Capitol Hill, Maggie’s Cabaret at St. Margaret’s, The Arts Club of Washington, Indigo @ the Atlas Performing Arts Center and the Capitol Hill Arts Workshop.

Mark Phillips
Magician
Mark Phillips comes from a military family which instilled in him a passion for discipline, order and psychological warfare on his younger sisters. Class clown and middle child, Mark’s first trick was the vanishing cigarette. Fortunately for him, in 1960’s Kentucky a six-year-old with cigarettes was not an unusual site. Today, Mark represents corporations large and small at trade shows around the world. His entertaining “live commercials” help his clients attract attention, deliver a concrete marketing message and generate sales leads by the hundreds. Mark has amazed audiences throughout North America, Europe, Asia, Australia and the Middle East. Locally, he has appeared at The National Theatre, The Kennedy Center, and in the Capitol Fringe Festival where the Washington Post remarked, “Mark Phillips has skill to burn.” He speaks German and an avidly plays the Vienna Horn, a musical instrument so obscure he finds a way to include it in every bio. Finally, he is a producer and performer at the Comedy & Mystery Society in Gaithersburg, MD.
