About Rocky LaPorte
The former Chicago truck driver and dock worker started his stand-up career in the windy city back in 1988. After winning some local comedy competitions LaPorte went on to win The Johnnie Walker National Comedy Competition beating out over 1,100 contestants in 10 cities! He then went on to do numerous TV shows like Cheers, Pat Sajak, Comic Strip Live, a CBS pilot titled “The Rocky LaPorte Show” and his very own half-hour special on Comedy Central. His clean observations and take on life have made him a favorite in all the top comedy clubs, corporate events and television shows. LaPorte has opened for the likes of Louie Anderson, Garry Shandling, Drew Carey, Tim Allen, Hootie and the Blowfish and the Righteous Brothers.
About Denise Ramsden
Ramsden is an innovative comedian, as she blends biting sarcasm and bold humor with personal experiences. A native of Chicago, Denise’s Irish Catholic upbringing is an easy target for her hilarious wit. She has performed comedy all over the United States in clubs, colleges, train stations, bowling alleys and even a church basement. A recent appearance on the Bob and Tom radio and TV shows has enabled Denise to amass a fan base that stretches throughout the country. For two years, she was selected to participate in CA’s Funniest Female Contest which chooses only 100 women throughout the country. While a favorite among female audiences, her natural, honest sense of humor also greatly appeals to men, and no one is safe from the infectious laugh infused throughout her act. Denise discusses familiar topics and situations, which give her an accessible quality few comics share, but it is a combination that all audiences remember …or whatever…
