BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
Larry Reeb grew up in the farm town of Dwight, IL, 100 miles south of Chicago. He found his calling at age 15 after getting big laughs from his peers for his "stand-up" in high school speech class. At 19 he moved to Chicago and immersed himself in the city's budding comedy scene, performing nightly sets at the now-defunct club Comedy Womb. By the early '80s he had become an in-demand headliner and began doing stand-up full time. Over the next two decades he performed at comedy clubs and festivals across the country including Las Vegas Comedy Fest, Chicago Comedy Fest, and Milwaukee's Summerfest. In 1999 he released his debut live album "It's A Sick World And I'm A Happy Guy", which became a series with the arrival of Volume 2 in 2000 and Volume 3 in 2009. In 2008 he was named the Chicago Comedian of the Year at the Chicago Music Awards. Reeb is a frequent guest on the nationally syndicated radio program The Bob & Tom Show and has appeared in comedy specials on VH1, MTV, HBO, and Showtime.
Warm-up comedian ok. Why he had to bring up that he was gay was beyond me. It had no bearing on his act. Larry spent too much time & effort making fun of woman in crowd.
First off, I want to say, the cost was great, making it a wonderful option to get out of the house. Easy, free parking. Love the seating at this venue. Really enjoyed comics. Very different from each other, which is a good thing. Laughed till my sides hurt! THANKS TO MGM!
Larry was extremely funny for the entire show. The various topic from messing with the cops when they pull you over to wife jokes were hilarious. The crowd was laughing the entire time. Great show.
Larry was so funny as usual... seen him before. Event should schedule better openers.. the first guy was not even remotely funny and the second guy Kris Shaw was actually creepy ... not funny at all. could not even understand him when he was speaking..
This guy is a true professional - and he will have you laughing and talking all night long. Take is from Uncle Big Daddy!
Larry was a riot. His jokes and timing were right on. He really knew how to read the crowd and had a lot of fun with us. We would definitely recommend him for a fun night out. The lead-in comedian was also great.
