A MAN WITH STANDARDS is John O'Hurley's 90-minute retrospective on the songs of The Great American Songbook along with the musings from his eclectic life and career.
"I was lucky enough to grow up surrounded by the sounds of The Standards," he quips, "and I was lucky enough to grow up in the presence of gentlemen who had Standards".

John delights his audiences with the colorful stories and songs of his youth as well as revisiting his unforgettable moments on "Seinfeld" and "Dancing With The Stars".
