Stand-up comedian Reno Collier will come to Murfreesboro for a Saturday, Nov. 23, show at Hank’2 Doors Down.
A former P.E. teacher, Collier has endeared himself to a wide range of audiences. His journey in comedy began at the Punchline Comedy Club in Atlanta, where he tended bar to supplement his day job. One night he found himself onstage during the weekly open mic night. His unique outlook on life—mixed with a six-pack—was instantly popular and provided a platform to launch a career as a comedian.
In 2004 Collier joined Larry the Cable Guy on the hugely successful Tour of America. Following the success of that tour, in 2005 Reno taped his own Comedy Central Presents half-hour special. Collier has continued to build a reputation by selling out comedy clubs and colleges nationwide. Collier’s other national tours include theater and arena tours with the legendary Jeff Foxworthy, Bill Engvall and Ron White. From 2007–16, he re-joined Larry the Cable Guy for his wildly successful arena tour spanning the United States and Canada.
Collier’s TV credits include NBC’s Late Friday, The Martin Short Show, TBS’s Blue Collar Comedy: The Next Generation, his own Comedy Central special, and The Roast of Larry the Cable Guy. He also appeared in CMT’S holiday special, Larry the Cable Guy’s Hula Palooza Christmas Luau and the 2012 special Them Idiots. Reno also made appearances in the feature films Witless Protection (2008) and Jingle All the Way 2 (2014).
Through the years, Reno has headlined the Comics on Duty tour for American troops stationed in the Middle East and Africa. He is a weekly correspondent on the Bob & Tom Show and regular guest on the Big D and Bubba syndicated radio shows and Country Music Television, hosting various specials for the network. He was a co-host on the Sirius Satellite Radio show Chewing the Fat with fellow comedian Leanne Morgan for three years.
Reno is also the national spokesperson for A Soldier’s Child, an organization that serves the children of fallen military personnel.
The Saturday, Nov. 23, show will begin at 7 p.m. Find tickets, for $35, on Eventbrite. Hank’2 Doors Down is located at 2333 Memorial Blvd.
