Man of a 10,000 Sound Effects, invades The Space Oct. 12
Barking dogs, wet sneakers, roaring jets, spine-tingling scratches on a chalkboard, radio noises, strumming guitars and cell phone tones.

The star of the Police Academy movies and master of vocal gymnastics brings his unique talent to The Space, the venue just west of the Las Vegas Strip that’s known for intimate and unexpected experiences.

Winslow can imitate more than 10,000 sound effects by just using his voice. His shows encompass recreating the frenzy of Jimmy Hendrix playing the guitar, a Star Wars battle reenactment, and performing a history of videogame sound effects ranging from Pong, Street Fighter and Portal.

In addition to the Police Academy series, Winslow has appeared in many movie and television shows including Space Balls and Sharknado 3: Oh Hell No!
