ROCKY LaPORTE

The former Chicago truck driver and dock worker started his standup career in the Windy City back in 1988. After winning some local comedy competitions, Rocky went on to win The Johnnie Walker National Comedy Competition, beating out over 1100 contestants in 10 cities! He then went on to do numerous television shows like Cheers, Pat Sajak, Comic Strip Live, a CBS pilot entitled "The Rocky Laporte Show" and his very own half hour special on Comedy Central.

Performing on The Tonight Show, "Took only 16 years of sweat and toil, but who keeps track of that kind of stuff?" said Rocky in a recent interview. He mentions that he's most proud of the fact that he was voted one of the funniest guys in his class at a recent G.E.D. reunion.

At the Las Vegas Comedy Festival, where 40 of the top comedy clubs around the country were polled to name their favorite male and female comedians, Rocky received the "Best Male Club Comedian of the Year ", and he was presented the award by George Wallace and Andy Kindler. Recently Rocky found out that his "Just For Laughs" set he performed at the prestigious Montreal Comedy Festival (hosted by the legendary Carl Reiner) was being shown on Air Canada flights. Rocky responded by saying " Man, I'm having a good week!"

Along with his busy schedule of corporate work and touring all major cities, Rocky even went overseas to entertain our men and women troops in bases all over Iraq.

Rocky has become a favorite everywhere in the U.S. and one of the most sought after comedians in the country. His clean observations and humorous take on life have made him a favorite in all the top comedy clubs, at corporate events and on television shows. Rocky's likeability and every-man style gives him an unparalleled universal appeal that any audience can enjoy and relate to.

Rocky has opened for the likes of Louie Anderson, Garry Shandling, Drew Carey, Tim Allen, Hootie and the Blowfish and the Righteous Brothers, just to name a few. In addition, he has done an enormous amount of charity work, including St Jude's for Children, various N.F.L. charities, homeless shelters, cancer research, and police and fire department fundraisers.
