Larry The Cable Guy Tickets Information

Larry The Cable Guy
Dan Whitney a.k.a Larry - the cable guy, was born in Nebraska, moved to West Palm Beach, Florida when he was 16 where he attended The King's Academy. His father, a cleric who once played guitar with the Everly Brothers, was the principal of the nearby King's Academy elementary school.

Whitney played an instrument in the King's Academy pep band and worked at Wendy's until 1985 when he began with slapstick comedy alongwith other West Palm Beach locals like buddy Jamie Porter. He continued his career at the Comedy Club in Blue Springs, Missouri, on amateur nights with the support of friends and coworkers. In 1991, he began doing radio comedy, where he would call into stations as fictional characters. The "Larry" character was created after a friend from one of the stations asked him to call in as a cable installer.

Dan Whitney claims he was born in the back of an El Camino during a Foghat concert. His drawl may sound Southern, but Larry was raised on a pig farm in Pawnee City, NE. His rearing was traditional and churchgoing. Larry used his entertaining comments to fascinate his friends, who pushed him to try his luck at standup. Started off in 1986 and the audience loved his his slow, approachable style. Two years later, he surrendered his title as funniest bellhop at the Ramada Inn and set out for a career in comedy.

His one-liner-filled act soon caught tittle-tattle in the South and brought him to the attention of television. Appearances on Evening at the Improv and Comic Strip Live increased his fan base across America, but it was on the nationally syndicated Bob and Tom Show on radio that Larry got the most publicity. His success with radio continued when he became a regular on Jeff Foxworthy's Country Countdown Show and Larry soon started syndicating his "commentaries" to 14 markets across the country. In 2000 Foxworthy invited the humorist to join his Blue Collar Comedy Tour, along with Bill Engvall. The successful tour earned $15 million, sold more than 1 million copies when released on DVD, and turned Larry into a megastar. His debut CD, Lord, I Apologize, appeared in 2001 and remained in the Top 20 for two years running.

Larry the Cable Guy: Git-R-Done became his first solo DVD in 2003, and a year later Larry, Foxworthy, and Engvall turned their tour into the highly-rated television show Blue Collar TV. Wearing his redneckness as a badge of honor while hating political-correctness and racism equally made Larry a hard target for cynics, but he made news with a 2004 appearance on the morning talk show The View. Clay Aiken fans overran the show and disclosed their disliking for his statement, "I'm on the Clay Aiken diet. That's where you pop in a Clay Aiken CD and try to keep food down."

Ignoring the "controversy," Larry spread holiday cheer at the end of the year with his new CD, A Very Larry Christmas, and appeared on Blue Collar Comedy Tour Rides Again. The Right to Bare Arms appeared in March after that. The year 2006 saw Larry starring in his own feature film, Larry the Cable Guy: Health Inspector, and supplying the voice of Mater in the animated Disney/Pixar film Cars. He also appeared on the CD and DVD Blue Collar Comedy Tour: One for the Road that year, before returning to his solo career in early 2007 with the album Morning Constitutions.

Larry the Cable Guy has also been protested on at Ball State University in February of 2007, comprising of a student protest, which included signs and slogans, was covered in the university newspaper. Protest organizer Landon Knepp, a college radio DJ, was quoted as saying, "We're pretty passionate about how not funny he is...We're just going to try to be out there and spread the awareness that he's not funny." The newspaper also recorded those protesters Knepp and Andrew Carey said they take offense to the intolerant humor used by Whitney.
