The Hilarious Hitmen Performing Free Show At Eisenhower Park
The show is scheduled for Saturday. Sal Governale, one of the performers, said the show blends "comedy, music and audience participation."

EAST MEADOW, NY —The Hilarious Hitmen are set to perform a free show at the Harry Chapin Lakeside Theatre in Eisenhower Park in East Meadow. The show is scheduled for 7 p.m. Saturday.
Attendees were encouraged to bring a chair and drinks as they watch Sal Governale, Richard Christy and Billy Mira — radio personalities known for their prank calls and comedy — blend humor with music.
Mira previously told Patch that a The Hilarious Hitmen performance is like "Bach meets Uncle Floyd." Governale said it is a "unique, Vegas-style show."

"We’ve taken all of the inspiration: comedy, music and audience participation, which we’re big on, and we’ve combined it all," Governale said in a previous interview. "When I explain this show to people, I say, it’s not even a variety show, it’s an experience. It’s a unique experience."
The trio each excels at singing, comedy and impressions. But each member has a specialty: Governale's is humor, Mira's is impressions, and Christy's lies on the drums.

The Hilarious Hitman has assembled a band Governale said they are excited to work with: Craig Haft on keys, Vincent Melia on bass and Eddie Melikian on guitar, as well as the horn players.
The act will perform music from across several decades. Everything the three say during the show, the accompanying song makes "perfect sense," Governale said. There are songs for everyone in the audience, too, as they will be covering artists from The Beastie Boys and Kiss to Frank Sinatra and Van Halen.
Mira described the performances as "like seeing 50 tribute shows in one show."
