Two-time Emmy award winner Louie Anderson is one of the country's most recognized and adored comics and was named by Comedy Central as "One of 100 Greatest Stand-Up Comedians of All Time."
Currently he is headlining in his own show, "Louie-Larger Than Life" at the Excalibur Hotel & Casino on the famed Las Vegas Strip.
Anderson began his career at a comedy club in his native Minneapolis, when on a dare from friends; he got up on stage and performed.
His big break came in 1984 when he appeared on "The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson" who was so impressed with the comic; he called him out for a rare and coveted "second bow."
Anderson's stand-up comedy career skyrocketed. Known as a "clean" comedian, his stories about growing up in the Midwest, being one of 11 children and dealing with an alcoholic father provided endless material for the comic with audiences of all types relating to his
everyday life experiences.
The multi-talented performer went on to do television and movies starring in his own CBS sitcom "The Louie Show" and his own comedy specials for both HBO and Showtime.
Anderson also has guest starred on such popular sitcoms as "Scrubs" and "Grace Under Fire," dramas like "Touched by an Angel" and "Chicago Hope." He also has appeared in memorable featured roles in such films as "Coming to America" opposite Eddie Murphy.
The multi-talented comedian/actor's resume also includes the syndicated hit series, "Family Feud" and being executive producer and creator of the two-time Emmy Award winning animated series on FOX "Life With Louie."
Anderson is also a best selling author and has written three books including the best selling first book Dear Dad-Letters From An Adult Child in 1989.
Anderson, a humanitarian, is co-founder of the H.E.R.O. organization whose mission is to empower people who are homeless or at risk of homelessness to attain maximum self-sufficiency.
He also spends many hours working with numerous other charities in keeping with his philosophy of giving back to his community whenever he can.

Parents, aging, and food addictions- something we all have to deal with in our lives,,, and Louie Anderson brings it all home while stealing our hearts with his larger than life personality. By turns sarcastic and sweet, he reminisces about his frugal mother and grouchy dad, growing up poor in a large family and all the alarming changes we experience as we age. We laughed and laughed and relived some of his best lines on the way home. Anyone would enjoy this show, it is not x-rated, but not exactly G-rated either. Lots of fun!
If you like Louie you have to see him live. He kept the audience laughing the entire time he was on stage. I thought it was a great show!!! We saw Bill Cosby last year, I'm a huge Cosby fan, he's a legend and Louie definitely ranks up there with him.
Very funny, very engaging with the audience. Such a natural comedic talent. The opening acts were very good. The whole evening was great fun. Wait staff were great and the food was good. I highly recommend going to the venue. The size of the room is perfect from any vantage point. Louie was so much fun to listen to and we all throughly enjoyed ourselves.
MY TICKETS ARRIVED AS PROMISED AND THE SETS WE OKEY. LOUIE WAS WONDERFUL AND VERY FUNNY. I'VE WATCH HIM ON TV AND SEEN HIS CARTOON BUT SEEING HIM IN PERSON WAS VERY EXCITING FOR ME. THE CASINO PUT US IN THE BINGO HALL. I DON'T KNOW, I JUST DIDN'T LIKE THE ROOM THEY STUCK US IN. THE REST WAS VERY NICE. I WOULD GO AGAIN. I HAD A GOOD TIME.
I went to this show with my sister who LOVES Louie. It is her favorite comic. I was pleasantly surprised at his show. Very funny and incorporated his standard material with current and new material. It was very entertaining and I enjoyed the show. I just wish more people had shown up.
I saw Louie ANderson years ago in Las Vegas & again last night and I am happy to report that he remains as good as ever. His act is such that anyone in their teens and above would not only get but enjoy. I would highly reccomend Louie Anderson to anyone looking for an enjoyable night out. You will laugh & have a good time and you cannot ask much more than that from a comedian.
We had a great time. We've seen Louie in Vegas, we've caught his HBO specials. It was so great to be able to see him LIVE this close to home. Ceasars Windsor was a great venue to see him at. A great show as always. Keep of the great work, we love you Lou.
Louie Anderson is fabulous! I laughed from the time he started talking until he walked off the stage. His whole act is so true to life. I love the way he talks about his parents, and how he jokes about his weight. I talked about his show for days afterward. My husband and I are still using lines from it. "I looked down, and I was going 7 mph!"
I will admit that when we planned going to this event, I wasnt sure if I was going to like it or not. Well...... after 2 minutes into the show, I was so thankful I went. Louie has to be one the funniest people around. So much of his material just hits home, no matter what he has to say. I laughed, I cried and sighed...... It is a show for ALL to attend. My husband and I took my parents and this is the first time EVER I got to see both Mom and Dad laugh their butts off. I want to thank Louie for one of the greatest times Ive had in a long time. A MUST SEE!!
Still unbelievably great..even with a bum knee he entertained through the pain
Louie Anderson at Casino Windsor was a fantastic show, I have not laughed so hard in a long time. He did a lot of new materiel as well as some classic Louie materiel. I love his materiel about his parents.
From the time Louie takes the stage you laugh out loud until the show ends. His humor reflects your own family situations and leaves your sides aching from all the laughter. Thanks for a great night.
Louie is like your favorite uncle at a family reunion. He tells it like it is about family and causes a few eyebrows to be raised. He must be seen with someone so that you can glance over for eye contact and nod your head in recognition of his truth.
