What if you could leave your life?
An unhappily married CEO jumps from a Connecticut bridge, body never found. A troubled flight attendant still mourning her lover lost on 9-11 goes missing from a cruise ship. An Arizona school teacher can’t reconcile the sexual compromise he’s been maneuvered into and steals money from a student kiosk and disappears. An internet sensation crosses the last line left and self-pleasures in front of an audience of millions and is spotted in Virginia boarding a hot air balloon that’s empty when it crash lands. 500,000 Americans go missing every year, 1500 never return. Where are they and is there a connection? Yes.
Welcome to Out Clause.
John Davidson’s Club Sandwich
Summer ~ Fall 2026
If you haven’t been to Club Sandwich, you haven’t lived. This season—The Encore—will be the last and John has something extra special in store. Every show opens with a must-see video (get there early), including his own version of New Hampshire’s clarion call,“Live Free or Die,” lyrics by Ernest Thompson and music by the legendary Art Harriman. For two seasons John closed his show with “Keep the Party Going”, for which he wrote the music and his pal Ernest wrote the lyrics. To hear a sample, click here.
The well-known TV host of Hollywood Squares and That’s Incredible!, and the recurring guest host of The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson (80 evenings), is more than just a funny guy, he’s starred on the big screen and on stage and has a voice and energy that won’t quit. Sitting on a comfy couch or rocking in a chair at Club Sandwich, you’ll laugh, you’ll remember when and you’ll leave wanting to seize the day. For more information, click here
