Not the Sailor. During the '80s and '90s, Sinbad burst onto the comedy-club circuit, leaving a trail of busted-bellies wherever he went. Catch him live at the Osage Million Dollar Elm Casino, 951 W. 36th St. N., on Thurs., Sept. 17. Surely folks remember when Fox aired The Sinbad Show in the early '90s, or maybe when he played the main role in the 1995 film Houseguest. Sinbad's first HBO special, Brain Damaged (1991), was one of HBO's most successful "Comedy Hour" presentations. Don't miss the chance to see him onstage doing his standup, what he does best. $25.
