Gemini has worked with the likes of Jeff Dunim, Ray Romano, and after twenty-six amazing years of performing the list goes on and on.

Performing with Gemini tonight are "Jersey Boy" Steve Trevelise of 101.5 FM Radio and New York City's talented Lana Siebel.

JOHN "GEMINI" LOMBARDI

John "Gemini" Lombardi is a regular at the Borgata Casino in Atlantic City, Carolines in New York City, and Parx casino in Philly. He is a Las Vegas style performer you do not want to miss.

Gemini was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York. With his quick sense of humor and witty personality, Gemini decided to start performing at the young age of eleven. He took his act to streets of New York City, where his only audience was a crowd of passersby and neighbors. With his energetic charisma and quick wit, he brought the crowd to tears of laughter. It was then he began his professional career in comedy.

Today, Gemini has performed on Fox5, NBC, Showtime, and at hundreds of comedy clubs, casinos, resorts, and theaters across the country!  Gemini is now a top headliner at The Borgata Casino, Dangerfield's, The Parx Casino and Caroline's on Broadway!
