Rob Riggle has a manic professional talking head style of hilarity that can crack anyone's smile, make them proceed directly to giggles, and lead them promptly to gut laughs. His successful jump from sketch comedy to Stand-up came in 2006, when he toured nationally with now famous John Oliver and other Daily Show writers. Sarcasm is his middle name, and his delivery never falters. You may have also seen him on Saturday Night Live circa 1994/5, among the many other TV appearances and roles he's played. Rob Riggle Jr. has also appeared in several box office success films including 'The Hangover'.
He's known for tying in jokes and skits about his actual role as a Lieutenant Colonel of the U.S. Marine Corps. He uses his knowledge to act as the 'Military Analyst' on the Daily Show with John Stewart, a character that gets endless mileage and laughs. His stand-up videos indicate he's a top-notch story teller. His life leaves him no shortage of fascinating things to talk about, including the 'first draft' of his hypothetical Academy Award Acceptance speech with lines like "the world is my toilet".
Riggle was born in Midwest United States, and his go-to topics include Sports, the Military, Politics, and the News. His hilariously written stories about real and fake happenings have kept the Riggle fan-base growing from his early 90's work to his current stand-up. His role with Will Farrel in the film Step-Brothers didn't hurt much either. Comedy geeks may remember UCTB (The Upright Citizens' Brigade') in which Riggle and his hilarious partner Rob Huebel performed their two-man show 'Kung Fu Grip'. Riggle also appeared often with his partner on Late Night with Conan O' Brien for comedic sketches during the '90's. He's worked with the best.

His recent projects have included a collaboration with long-term partner Robert Huebel and Paul Sheer, including Seasons one and two of HBO's Designated Driver and Death Hunt 2010 and 2011. With organizations like NFL, HBO, SNL, Comedy Central, CBS, Nascar, Bravo, and the Marine Corps on his resume', Riggle has shown his mass appeal, and longevity through many outlets. He's just five years into traditional stand-up, but decades in comedy. This is one of the funniest observational comedic sarcastic writers and character comedians around. His insights are original and familiar at the same time. Riggle's three night stent at Paris will be a brush with a professional long-term comedian, who has avid fans throughout the United States, plus his name, Rob Riggle, is super fun to say. May 10-12, 2012. Empire Comedy at ParisLasVegas.com, $39.99-$59.99, (702)777-7776.
Video of Mon Dre performing at Sapphire Comedy Hour by Frankie Tease. I finally found a show as raunchy and classy as I like it, and it's at the world's largest strip club, Sapphire Las Vegas. The club is well-known in town, for topless entertainment and great bottle and V.I.P. service. It also just opened a topless (pastied) pool and dayclub which is very fun. But even more new, they have been rolling out a show in the state-of-the art (wicked comfortable) Sapphire Showroom a few feet from the main entrance. I attended the Media Night for Sapphire Comedy Hour , hosted by the Producer/Director of the show Brett Feinstein (son of the owner). Feinstein's associates are Decade-Long Las Vegan, Douglas “Lefty” Leferovich who is creative director, magic consultant, and featured entertainer, while Philip Peredo, head of Tickle Me Entertainment, books the majority of the comedians and brings up the third slot in this pyramid of power. Peredo, Feinstein, Le...
I was invited by the headliner to interview him at a new to me comedy show in Vegas. I understood this, it was a comedy show at a strip club. Being an ex-stripper, I liked the idea right away. Little did I know it was star-studded with variety acts and comedians. Awesome. I walked through the strip club. Not just any, it's the largest strip club in the world which also features male strippers. Topless dancers were working to my left as I was escorted by the concierge to the showroom separate from the main floor. The showroom was huge. This is the room that houses the male review at 10pm, but preceding it was the comedy show which is a weekly Friday 8:00pm show. A local comedian Ricky Byrne (Host of Mood Comedy Dinner Show at the Artisan Hotel Las Vegas) was the feature of the show and started things off with some urban humor. I guessed he was Puerto Rican, and definitely too good looking to be a comedian, yet also funny. He gave way to variety act Set...
The largest topless strip club in the world just got larger, and it decided to go outside to expand. The club was 70,000 feet before and boasts topless dancers, and an all male review for the ladies in a separate showroom. It even has a comedy and variety show. Several stages, 400 entertainers and open 24 hours, many could ask how that could be improved. Enter the great outdoors. The $8 million day club is pretty swanky. The cabanas are lush and plenty. Comfort? Yes. Completely separate but visible VIP? Yes. On-site grill, tons of shower fountains and also lovely water falls mixed with a full bar and amazing service will obviously be one of the hottest new and lasting clubs in Las Vegas. The 800 capacity pool area will be a go-to spot, especially after the launch they have planned. What sets it apart? Dancers are not necessarily doing lap dances, but they will be making new friends and lounging at the pool in their off times says Shai Cohen one of the organ...
