Rocky LaPorte

Saturday, June 4 at 7 & 9 p.m.

Rocky LaPorte’s appeal comes from his everyman, streetwise style of comedy. Delivering laughs in his trademark Brooklyn accent, he has become one of the most sought after comedians in the country, and he just recently appeared on season eight of NBC’s Last Comic Standing. Rocky received fifth place out of ten contestants.

A former Chicago truck driver and dock worker, Rocky has accumulated a slew of performances throughout his career, including being a featured comic on Showtime‘s The Godfathers of Comedy, a special starring five of America’s most hilarious Italian-American comics. On the big screen, he has been seen in two Tim Allen movies: Crazy on the Outside and The Shaggy Dog.
