Comedian Larry the Cable Guy brings act to Reno Events Center
With his signature catchphrase, “Git-R-Done,” Larry the Cable Guy is selling out theatres and arenas across the United States. Come see him perform on Aug. 23, 2008 at 8 p.m. in the Reno Events Center with opening act Reno Collier.
Larry was part of the highly successful concert <i>Blue Collar Comedy Tour</i>, which grossed more than $15 million and featured the ensemble cast of comedians, Jeff Foxworthy and Bill Engvall. The tour’s success led to <i>Blue Collar Comedy Tour, The Movie</i>, which premiered on Comedy Central in November of 2003 and at the time, was the highest rated movie in the channel’s history. The sequel <i>Blue Collar Comedy Tour Rides Again</i>, has sold more than three million units and is the third most watched telecast in Comedy Central’s history.
In March of 2006, the Blue Collar boys reunited to shoot <i>Blue Collar Comedy Tour, One For The Road in Washington, DC</i> at the Warner Theater. The movie had its world premiere on Comedy Central on June 4, 2006, again receiving some of the highest ratings. The soundtrack was also nominated for a 2006 Grammy award. His last special on VH1, <i>Larry The Cable Guy’s Christmas Spectacular</i> is a throwback to the old school Christmas variety shows and is currently available on DVD. The special stars Tony Orlando, Lisa Lampanelli, Jeffrey Ross, Vicki Lawrence, George Wallace, Flavor Flav and many more surprise guests.

Larry‘s DVD special <i>Git-R-Done</i>, has sold more than one million copies and has been certified platinum.The special aired on Comedy Central and gave the network their second biggest Sunday night ratings in the channel’s history. Larry also starred in <i>Blue Collar TV</i>, a sketch comedy series for The WB network which premiered in 2004.
Larry’s comedy CD <i>Morning Constitutions</i> was released in April 2007 and also debuted at #1 on the Billboard Comedy Charts. His previous release, <i>The Right To Bare Arms</i> (Jack Records/Warner Bros. Records) debuted at #1 on the Soundscan Comedy Chart, #1 on the Country Chart, and #7 on the Top 200 Chart. This marked the first time in the history of Soundscan that a comedy album charted at #1 on the Country Chart. It has been certified gold (500,000 units) by the RIAA and also received a Grammy Award nomination. His first Christmas CD, <i>Very Larry Christmas</i> has also been certified gold (500,000 units.)
