Drusky Entertainment announced three shows coming to Carnegie of Homestead Music Hall in Munhall — singer Richard Marx and comedians Al Franken and Frank Caliendo.
Tickets for all three events go on sale here at 10 a.m. Friday.
Marx takes the stage at 7 p.m. Oct. 14. The Grammy-winning artist’s last solo album, “Beautiful Goodbye,” was released in 2014. Marx has sold more than 30 million albums.
He’s known for “Hold on to the Nights,” “Don’t Mean Nothing” and “Right Here Waiting.” He is the only male artist whose first seven singles reached the Top 5 on the Billboard charts.
“It’s amazing that I can go to these places in the world where they might not be able to pronounce my name properly, but they sing along to all the songs in the show,” said Marx in a statement. “People come back again and again and I’ve very proud of my live show. I want fans to walk away feeling like they know me after a concert.”
Franken, the former “Saturday Night Live” writer who served as a U.S. senator for nine years, will perform at 8 p.m. Oct. 23.
Franken won five Emmy awards for his work on “Saturday Night Live.” His books include “Rush Limbaugh Is a Big Fat Idiot” and “Other Observations, Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them – A Fair and Balanced Look at the Right,” and “Al Franken, Giant of the Senate.” He currently hosts a politics and public affairs podcast, “The Al Franken Podcast.”
Caliendo takes the stage at 8 p.m. Dec. 2.
He’s known for his impressions of personalities such as Morgan Freeman and Al Pacino; politicians George W. Bush and Bill Clinton; broadcasters John Madden and Jon Gruden; and talk show hosts Dr. Phil and David Letterman.
Caliendo worked on the “FOX NFL Sunday Pregame” show, and is currently at ESPN for its “Sunday NFL Countdown.”
He was on “Mad TV” and has his own series “Frank TV.” He has done specials with TBS and Comedy Central and appeared on numerous late-night television shows.
