Legends & Legacies Series: “My Buddy” Celebrating Buddy Hackett’s 100th Birthday with Sandy Hackett
Club Arcada is proud to present our Legends & Legacies Series with Sandy Hackett, Son of Buddy Hackett. Sandy was inspired at a young age by his father, legendary comedian Buddy Hackett, to enter the world of comedy. Buddy was a powerful teacher and role model; an avid reader who studied diligently, re-examining his comedy techniques. He taught his son by example. The younger Hackett soon learned that an evening with Buddy Hackett was an evening of comedy and entertainment at its best (Buddy passed away on June 30, 2003). This was the foundation from which Hackett began his development, growth and versatility as a comedian, writer, producer, and entertainer.
