SUMMARY:The Vault: A Rare Bourbon Dinner
DESCRIPTION:Some bottles are made to be saved. Others are made to be shared. This evening is for both.\nFred Minnick—author of the Wall Street Journal bestseller Bourbon Curious\, host of “The Fred Minnick Show\,” and one of the country’s most authoritative voices on American whiskey—leads guests through a curated selection of rare and limited-release bourbons that most collectors only dream of opening.\nThe setting is as remarkable as the pours. Guests gather among the living landscapes of the Naples Botanical Garden for an intimate dinner\, with each course designed to complement the evening’s rare expressions. A cocktail hour with passed hors d’oeuvres opens the night.

SUMMARY:Comedian Carlos Mencia Live in Naples\, Florida!
DESCRIPTION:Comedian Carlos Mencia is best known for his raw and unfiltered style of comedy\, which he has showcased to great success on comedy stages\, and in television shows and movies. He has recently gone back to his comedic roots on his No Hate No Fear comedy tour\, sharing his newest material with smaller\, more intimate audiences. As a comedian who finds the hilarious irony in both the day-to-day and the newsworthy events\, Carlos is never lacking in material; he recently shot two stand-up specials due out later this year. Carlos will also reprise his role as Felix Boulevardez in Disney+’s “The Proud Family: Louder and Prouder\,” the revival of the groundbreaking animated series “The Proud Family.” The show is heading into its second season.\nMencia comes from a humble background\, born in San Pedro Sula\, Honduras\, the 17th of 18 children. His parents sent him to the United States when he was three months old\, where he was raised in the Maravilla Projects in Los Angeles by his aunt and uncle. In his early teens\, Mencia moved back to Honduras. When Mencia returned to Los Angeles\, he showed such educational prowess that he pursued a career in engineering. But an amateur night at the world-renowned Laugh Factory comedy club would change his path\, and a career in comedy began. He became a regular at The Comedy Store\, performing nightly. After he found success on the Los Angeles comedy circuit\, Mencia was named International Comedy Grand Champion from Buscando Estrellas (the Latin version of Star Search)\, eventually landing on shows such as “In Living Color\,” “The Arsenio Hall Show\,” and “An Evening at the Improv.”\nMencia continued his journey up the comedy ladder by headlining stand-up tours and starring in stand-up TV specials. In 2002\, he received a CableACE Award nomination for Best Stand-Up Comedy Special for his HBO special. Comedy Central soon took notice and the show “Mind of Mencia” went into development. Created by Carlos and comedy producer Robert Morton\, the comedy series featured Carlos and his crew with their merciless mix of up-close stand-up\, unconventional street interviews\, and shocking commercial parodies. The show was an instant hit\, and propelled Mencia to the comedy elite. After the first season\, Comedy Central signed Mencia back for an original stand-up special\, “Carlos Mencia: No Strings Attached\,” the first Comedy Central Stand-up Special DVD to achieve Platinum sales status.\nThroughout the four seasons of “Mind of Mencia\,” Carlos never stopped performing live\, headlining shows across the country and internationally. “Comedy is my art\, and fans are my passion\,” he has said. Always looking to give back to those fans\, Mencia has entertained troops serving overseas for USO tours in Turkey\, Kirkuk\, Baghdad\, Qatar\, Afghanistan\, and many other countries.\nLater\, Mencia went on to star on the big screen. He starred opposite Ben Stiller and Michelle Monaghan in “The Heartbreak Kid\,” and in the family-comedy “Our Family Wedding\,” alongside America Ferrara and Forrest Whitaker.\nCarlos Mencia presently lives in Los Angeles with his wife and two sons.

SUMMARY:Mia Vassilev: Keys on Fire
DESCRIPTION:“Consistently vital and polished\, with a nuanced expressive palette.” – The Miami Herald\nLed by virtuoso pianist Mia Vassilev\, this concert showcases a classically trained artist whose career spans major opera houses\, symphony halls\, and international festivals. Renowned for her technical authority and stylistic breadth\, Vassilev commands the stage with the clarity and precision of a concert pianist while moving seamlessly across classical\, popular\, and crossover repertoire.\nThis concert draws from the vibrant sounds of the 1940s through the 1960s\, weaving together boogie-woogie\, Latin rhythms\, early rock and roll\, and symphonic pops through original arrangements for piano and ensemble. Joined by musicians on double bass and percussion\, the performance unfolds as a full-stage production\, pairing intricate musicianship with striking visual energy and rhythmic drive.Piano: Mia VassilevPercussion: Howie GordonBass: Chuck Bergeron\nFriday\, September 9\, 2026; 7:30pmPerforming Arts Center10150 Bonita Beach Road\, Bonita SpringsTickets: $48 Tier 1 | $43 Tier 2 | $38 Tier 3$4 service fee per ticket is added at checkou
