Willie Fratto Comes to Sammy’s Showroom

SAMMY’S SHOWROOM
INSIDE HARRAH’S RENO
FEBRUARY 23, 24, 25

Reno, Nev. – Willie is the youngest son of reputed Chicago mob boss and Al Capone associate,

Louie “Cock-Eyed” Fratto. In 1968, his older brother, Frankie “One-Ear” Fratto became the

youngest “Don” in the history of organized crime in America. One year later he was killed in a

private plane crash with family “associate”, boxer Rocky Marciano. By age 20, Willie opted out

of the “family business” and learned to spin tragedy into comedy.

Willie is known for taking the predictable and humdrum and turns it into a memorable event

with his unique, hilarious humor, tailor-made for his audience. His talent has earned him spots

on numerous television specials like A&E Comedy on the Road, An Evening at the Improv, 48

Hours, and ESPN Grand Prix. Fratto has a keenly unique and hilarious perspective on his culture.

When asked to say something in Italian, he replies “Get in the trunk.”

The show is in Reno for one week only, February 23rd, 24th and 25th. Showtime is 8 p.m

on Thursday the 23rd with late shows at 10:30pm Friday the 24th and Saturday the 25th.

Tickets are $20.00 and can be purchased at (775) 788-2900 or in person at the Sammy’s

Showroom box office. For more information on Harrah’s entertainment options, call 1-
