IPAP Entertainment

up calling. His first foray was in the overnights with help from a buddy at KVUU 99.9 in Colorado Springs . Papi had NO COLLEGE or RADIO experience, but still created his own Freak Show with Papi, which eventually led him to FoxSports Radio. After winning an on air contest he was teamed up with co-host to Tony D. The pair ended up winning awards for BEST TALK RADIO SHOW and they each shared BEST RADIO HOSTS in 2005. BIG IVORY TICKLERS: Dueling Pianos
While comedy is his first love, he happened upon a Dueling Piano concept in Colorado Springs, CO called Rumbay. When he saw the show, he new it was a fit. The only problem was, HE DIDNT PLAY PIANO. He headed off to a Radio Shack where he found a $99 piano. Got a fake book with classic rock songs and a chord book. After spending 30 days straight for 14-16 hours a day, he had 50 songs and again NEVER looked back. He then went on to create his own brand of Dueling Piano show called the Big Ivory Ticklers. With prominent piano players Dino Duran and then Jimmy C. The concept rampaged piano houses from Texas to Baltimore and everywhere in between. Papi's creation was awarded the BEST OF Cover Band in 2006 in the Colorado Springs INDEPENDENT. LOOKING FORWARD:
Papi now plays nationwide with some of the BEST dueling piano players in the world. If not at a Dueling House he is doing Company parties, Roasts, and even heading back to stand-up comedy. Papi has taken all three experiences in his life and morphed them together to become a multi-dimensional entertainer. His show is genuine and his act his energetically hilarious!
