The Rivers Casinos in Pittsburgh and Pennsylvania on Wednesday heralded the coming arrival of Larry the Cable Guy and Ed Bassmaster in the next few weeks.
Larry the Cable Guy is a multiplatinum recording artist, Grammy nominee, and one of the best known comedians in the country thanks to numerous tours both as a solo comic and part of the Blue Collar Comedy Tour. He has his own line of merchandise and continues to sell out theaters and arenas across the United States.
Larry has won several Billboard awards, including 2005 Comedy Artist of the Year and Comedy Album of the Year, as well as 2006’s Top Comedy Tour award. He is a bestselling author, and his book “Git-R-Done” (2005) debuted at No. 26 on the New York Times bestseller list. Larry was named to Forbes Celebrity 100 list in 2006, 2007, 2011 and 2012, which lists the hottest and most successful people in the entertainment industry.
He also created “The Git-R-Done Foundation,” which was named after his signature catchphrase, and has donated more than $7 million to various charities.
The Event Center at Rivers Casino Pittsburgh will welcome Larry on Saturday, October 23, at 7 p.m.
“There’s no denying Larry the Cable Guy is hilarious,” Shannon Redmond, vice president of marketing at Rivers Casino Pittsburgh, said in a statement. “Pittsburgh comedy fans are in for a treat. We can’t wait to welcome Larry to Rivers for the first time.”
