WABASH – Mi Tunes 101.9 and 105.9 The Bash Welcome “Thursday Night Comedy: Reno Collier (Live at the Eagles Theatre)” at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 14. The show, held on the stage of the remodeled 1905 movie house located in the heart of Wabash, is the final in the season’s three-show Thursday Night Comedy Series.

A former PE teacher from West Virginia, Reno Collier brings his unique comedic outlook on life to his act. As Collier regales tales involving mishaps by his West Virginia cousins, his Scottish heritage, unruly in-laws and alien abductions, audiences find themselves laughing uncontrollably, prompted by Collier’s contagious laugh.

Collier’s journey as an internationally-known comedian began in an unlikely way at the Punchline Comedy Club in Atlanta, where he tended bar to supplement his day job. One night, Collier found himself on stage during the weekly open mic night. His unique outlook on life – mixed with a six-pack – was instantly popular, providing a platform from which to launch his career as a comedian.

Collier has built a reputation by selling out comedy clubs and packing colleges nationwide. He has toured the world with the likes of Jeff Foxworthy, Ron White, Bill Engvall, and, most notably, Larry the Cable Guy, with whom he has twice criss-crossed the United States and Canada. In 2004, Collier joined Larry the Cable Guy on the hugely successful “2004 Tour of America” and rejoined Larry the Cable Guy in 2007 for a successful arena tour across North America.

Collier’s TV credits include NBCs’ “Late Friday,” “The Martin Short Show,” TBS’ “Blue Collar Comedy: The Next Generation,” Comedy Central’s “Premium Blend” and “The Roast of Larry the Cable Guy.” He also appeared in the feature film “Witless Protection.”

Collier has headlined the “Comics on Duty” tour for American troops stationed in Iraq. He appears regularly on the “Bob & Tom” syndicated radio show and Country Music Television (CMT), hosting various specials for the cable network. He has performed at the prestigious HBO Comedy Arts Festival in Aspen, Colo., and the Montreal Comedy Festival. He has appeared in his own “Comedy Central Presents” special and can be heard weekly on Sirius Satellite Radio’s Blue Collar Comedy Channel.

Collier’s appearance at the Eagles Theatre marks the comedian’s return to Wabash, where he previously has taken the stage at the Honeywell Center when he opened for Bill Engvall (March 2012) and Larry the Cable Guy (April 2013).

Tickets are $12 per show presale ticket, $15 day of the show. Tickets may be purchased at the Honeywell Center box office from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, by calling 260-563-1102 or visiting www.honeywellcenter.org.
