Rocky LaPorte has been performing on the road
as a top-notch, in-demand and enormously popular comedy club headliner,
accumulating a trunk full of TV appearances from Cheers, Caroline's Comedy
Hour and his very own The Rocky LaPorte Show, a pilot for CBS.
In addition to club and television work, Rocky
LaPorte is a huge hit on the corporate show circuit utilizing his clean
material and likeable style to win-over even the most conservative audiences.
Rocky LaPorte's family came to this country
from Brooklyn, when his father was deported for drag racing midgets.
The family then moved to Chicago so Rocky could play for the Chicago
Cubs during their championship reign in the early 70's. While playing
for the Cubs, Rocky pitched twelve no-hitters and maintained a batting
average of 700. During baseball's off season, Rocky served in Vietnam
and was highly decorated with Agent Orange. After returning from the
war, the Cubs traded Rocky to the New York Knicks for six hot dogs and
a VCR. There he played center for nine and a half years shattering, many
records and tapes.
Changing from a career in sports to the opera,
Rocky LaPorte moved to Cleveland. While in Cleveland, Rocky sang opera
and that is where he and other opera stars got interested in mountain
climbing. He is most proud of conquering some of Ohio's tallest peaks.
Bored with opera, he got into Karaoke where he won the nationals and
got to meet Billy Ray Cyrus. Upon moving to Nashville, Rocky wrote many
famous country songs and is still a legend in Tennessee to this day.
Rocky LaPorte then moved to the west coast, where he alone was totally
responsible for reuniting The Eagles. He now tours the country as a stand-up
comedian because he loves people.
