RIALTO THEATER
DOWNTOWN LOVELAND
Jon
Reep is one of the hardest working comics in America,
selling out clubs and getting standing ovations
at college after college across the country for
nearly a decade. His show is supersonic energy
filled with non-stop characters, super clever writing,
and, of course, the one talent that separates him
from all other comedians in the world: He's the
best dancer since Elvis.
Jon has been on Comedy Central's "Premium Blend" & the half-hour
special "Comedy Central Presents." As well as TBS's "Pit Stop
Comedy," NBC's "Late Friday," and the ABC Sitcom "Rodney" as
Officer Gerald Bob the dim-witted cop. More recently you have seen him on “Last
Comic Standing 5” where he took America by storm and ultimately became
the Last Comic Standing! Look for Jon next summer in the feature film “Harold & Kumar
go to Amsterdam.” You have also seen Jon as the loveable redheaded redneck
from Dodge's popular ad campaign as the "Hemi guy."
Don’t miss your chance to catch him live and in person at the Rialto
Theater on Thursday, December 6th. The show will begin at 7:30pm and doors
open at 6:45pm. All ages are welcome. Please note that the show contains some
adult content. Tickets are $29 and go on sale Friday, October 26th at 1:00pm
and are available by calling (970) 962-2120 or by visiting http://www.ci.loveland.co.us/rialto/rialto.htm

FROM THE BOB AND TOM RADIO SHOW
D.C MALONE
Hitchhiking
over 40,000 miles in the early 70’s and traveling
extensively around Europe and the Orient, D.C. has
gathered life experience that shows in his work. Whether
expounding on the trails and tribulations of marriage
and the complications of subsequent single life, or
talking about his childhood, singing questionable
camp songs, or maybe blasting into his blues classic
“Upper middle class, white ass suburban just
moved to the better part o town blues”, D.C.
Malone has put together an incredibly entertaining
show filled with hilarious songs and stories directly
inspired by his own fascinating life.
SUNDAY AUG 12, 2007
OPENED FOR GEORGE LOPEZ, ARSENIO HALL
Jimmy
taught grade school for ten years. The bulk of his
act comes from his years in the classroom. You get
two perspectives; his years of being a student and
as being a teacher.
From his bio:
"My
hope is that any emotional scars my students may have
suffered while I was their teacher have healed. Mine
have not. Your homework never ends, kids. Life is
a roller coaster. Keep your hands inside the car,
scream, laugh and even cry. But, whatever you do,
ENJOY THE RIDE!"

Comedian
Dwight York is not just a funny character with and
an unforgettable style; he has great jokes. A seemingly
endless store of original and clever jokes the St.
Paul Pioneer Press calls “best one-liners this
side of Stephen Wright.” Audiences agree. He

a kind showman. Dwight York is truly a stand out among
stand-ups!

Bengt
Washburn (pronounced "bent") is a self proclaimed
unaccomplished Mormon. His act has been described
as intelligent, whereas Bengt himself is usually described

of the “carefully crafted series of unfortunate
decisions” that are his life.
A
prolific comic, he has produced a DVD, “Mormon
Meets World”, and two CDs, “Get Bengt”
and “Hell Bengt”. Both CDs can be heard
on XMRadio.
Bengt
is a former winner of the prestigious San Francisco
International Comedy Competition. He has also been
heard on “the Bob and Tom Show”.
His
ever evolving act is sometimes topical, often autobiographical,
at times poignant, mostly true and of course very,
very, funny. A one-of-a-kind gem on the American comedy
landscape.
