Jack Benny was more than a show-business Legend. His Droll delivery dead-pan stare, his unique 
stance and walk and of course, the hand on the cheek and the ever famous... WELL!!, all became
famous trademarks known by millions.

He was the undisputed master of comedy timing and delivery and for forty-three years on radio
and television he patently created a character that was always thirty-nine years old and a 
penny pinching cheapskate who became an American institution. 

Jack Benny's life is a fascinating success story- nostalgic, heart-warming and great fun.
You'll laugh at his timeless humor and learn of his humble beginnings, joys and disappoint-
ments, and his struggle to succeed until he emerged as America's best known and most loved comedian.


Eddie Carroll's achievements have spanned every area of show business- The Broadway stage, motion pictures, television, movies of the week, a weekly TV series and especially his award winning one-man show, JACK BENNY- "Laughter in Bloom".

His Original production opened in Los Angeles to unanimous praise and has continued to fill theaters with laughter across America, as well as showrooms in Atlantic City and Las Vegas.

His performance has earned front-cover stories in major newspapers and magazines and has won numerous honors and awards, including the coveted Golden Mike Award for Entertainment excellence and The Preservation of Broadcast history.  On Television, he has been singled out for in-depth profiles on HEADLINE NEWS, TURNER BROADCASTING, CNN and ABC-TV's Entertainment Magazine.

Carroll's vivid portrayal of Benny's reality and humanity has placed him in the
same company as Hollbrook's "Mark Twain"... Whitmore's "Will Rogers"... and Robert Morse in "TRU".

He has the enthusiastic support of the Benny family & estate, the International Jack Benny Fan Club and in Benny's home town of Waukegan, IL.  The city council voted unanimously, proclaiming Eddie Carroll the Honorary Mayor of Waukegan, IL.

         You watch transfixed, as Jack Benny suddenly appears before us...
          Carroll doesn't just do Benny... He IS Benny!
