Rolan Whitt is a national headliner. He plays rooms all over the country and draws some of the most enthusiastic crowds you’ll see in a club. Whitt is a Louisville native who is now based out of Sin City, Las Vegas. He has worked with some of the biggest names in the business, including work as a writer for former host The Tonight Show Jay Leno.
While Stand-up is his forte, he is a versatile performer who also does improvisation and hypnosis, apart from his comedy. And when he’s not on the road he owns and runs a small independent film studio in Las Vegas. And for the record “independent film studio” is not code for “Adult Entertainment” or “porn” – just in case your mind easily goes to dark places.
This weekend Whitt is going to be returning to his hometown of Louisville. On-stage at The Bard’s Town he will be hosting a showcase highlighting some of the best talent the city that launched his career, has to offer. It’s a way of giving back to the comedy community that hatched him. Besides Whitt the show will also feature:
Jeff Davis – Jeff started in comedy thirty years ago, when the club scene was the coolest place on earth. He rose through the ranks as a headliner and just before blowing-up he took a detour into the business world. A few years ago he returned to the stage he’d left behind.
Jennifer Starr – Has been kicking around the comedy scene for quite some time, and is one of the funniest women to come out of Louisville, ever.
Doug Wiley – Is a fresher face, only having been circling the comedy drain for half-a-decade or so.
Pete Wolynec – One of the dry-est, sardonic comedians you’ll find this far east of The Cellar Door.
The show will be at The Bard’s Town, April 17th @ 8PM. Tickets are $10.
