Carl LaBove - Headliner
Carl LaBove’s unique show centers on an engaging conversation in which he incorporates quick-witted improvisation and physical reenactments of his tales. “I’ve written my show to be like a movie experience. I grab the audience and take them on an action packed adventure.” In the case of Carl LaBove, it can be said that he is a combination performance artist and stand-up comedian. He is definitely in a league of his own.
The night he stepped on stage for the very first time he meet another aspiring comedian, Sam Kinison, who was also performing for his first time. The two bonded and the assault on comedy was on.
Carl and Sam moved from Houston to Los Angeles and worked as doormen at the world famous Comedy Store until Sam got a break on Rodney Dangerfield’s HBO Young Comedians Special. Kinison became a comedy sensation and he and Carl joined forces. Carl became his special guest on all tours and collaborated on three comedy albums and several specials. They also formed the Outlaws of Comedy, a band of comedic outlaws on and off stage, that Carl headlined. Carl lived every comic’s dream, performing three hundred seat rock clubs to seven thousand seat arenas for eight years. The friendship and collaboration tragically ended in April of 1992 when Sam and Carl were in route to a gig in Laughlin. The death of Sam Kinison closed an important chapter in Carl’s life.
After taking a year off to regroup, Carl landed four appearances on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno as well as being cast in a comedy sketch that Jay wrote with Carl in mind. Carl was also cast as a series regular on Roseanne’s late night sketch comedy show, Saturday Night Special, opposite Saturday Night Live.
After the show’s run, Carl had guest starring roles on Seinfeld, Roseanne, and The Parenthood, and film roles in Ace Ventura: Pet Detective and independent films.
