Cowboy Bill Martin – Headliner
Comedian Cowboy Bill Martin has built a loyal following of fans from coast to coast the old fashioned way – by working the road and bringing the funny. The Texas native has toured with some of the biggest names in country music including George Jones, George Strait, Brad Paisley and Rascal Flatts and has headlined some of the most prestigious clubs and theaters across the U.S. and Canada.
But don’t let the name fool you. Critic Punch Shaw of The Fort Worth Star Telegram says, "Martin is not your typical country-cowboy comic. There’s no talk about trailer parks or inbreeding. Sure he wears cowboy garb on stage and he speaks with a Texas accent but his comedy touches people of all cultures. In performance, he’s apt to remind you of Gary Busey with an edge. That is especially applicable, especially when Martin flashes a toothy grin and gives a gee-whiz shrug of his broad shoulders."
What makes Bill different on stage is that he isn’t scared to go outside of his comfort zone. “After Blue Collar hit, it seems like every comic out there was trying to be them – and ‘Redneck it’ up”, says Bill, “and I didn’t want to do that. But when you have a name like Cowboy Bill, peoples expectations are that you are going to be just like them.”
Speaking from the heart and tackling issues that other "country" comics wouldn’t dare to venture, don’t miss your opportunity to experience the creative and entertaining, Cowboy Bill Martin – you will leave pleasantly surprised.
Sean Peabody – Host
Sean Peabody is an energetic up and coming comic from the San Francisco Bay Area and one of Tahoe Comedy North’s favorite comedians. Sean was raised in Vallejo California and jumped on the comedy scene in Fairfield California. He has performed in clubs and colleges up and down the west coast and has worked with comedians such as, John Witherspoon, D.C. Curry, Will Durst, Andres Fernandez, John Diresta and more.
Rowie – Guest Spot
Rowie has been entertaining audiences with his wit, material and impressions since birth. A multi-dimensional entertainer, Rowie takes the crowd on a ride delivering razor sharp lines of deadpan cynicism with things you’ve thought but never had the guts to say. His clean and current topics are truly a refreshing experience.
Born and raised in Sacramento, Rowie spent his winters skiing and racing in Tahoe at Alpine Meadows. Rowie left Sac for Lake Tahoe in the 80’s to coach for the Squaw Valley Ski Team and chase the extreme skiing scene which was just taking off. Along with skiing he’s an avid golfer which keeps him busy year round.
He has opened for some of America’s biggest comedians. With fans throughout the country, Rowie’s act grabs your attention, keeps it, and makes you want to hear more.
Aaron Wilson – Guest Spot
Local funny man Aaron Wilson takes making people laugh seriously, "One thing I try to do is make people pee their pants, if I can do that I know I've done well. Getting his start in Elko, Aaron hosted pig auctions then moved on to funerals and finally got his big break at an open mic in Sparks. Since then he's appeared several times with Tahoe Comedy North in the Crown Room at the Crystal Bay Club and Tahoe Gal. "Eventually I'm going to go back and buy that dang pig farm!!" Look for Aaron on Comedy Central and HBO.
