In the wake of the defeat of Pauline Marois and the Parti Quebecois, Montreal-based actors/comedians Ken Fernandez and Armand Naftali will present a pretty unique show at the Leonardo DaVinci Centre on Saturday, April 26 (8 pm.) in St. Leonard. It is called The Voice Kings Present: Identity Crisis - A Celebration of Poutine, Opera, & the Multicultural Mosaic .
You might recognize Fernandez for his 6/49 commercial, currently running on TV. Naftali has over two decades of experience as an Elvis impersonator. His repertoire now extends to Tom Jones, Julio Iglesias, Willie Nelson and Michael Jackson.
