Reno Collier - A biography
Reno Collier, a former P.E. teacher and West Virginia native, has built a reputation selling out comedy clubs and colleges nationwide. With an infectious laugh, Reno's observations find him recalling mishaps of his West Virginia cousins, his Scottish heritage, unruly in-laws and alien abductions.
Reno's journey began at the Punchline Comedy Club in Atlanta, where he tended bar to supplement his day job. One night he found himself on stage during the weekly open mic night. His unique outlook on life was instantly popular and provided a platform to launch a career as a comedian.
His national tour credits include theater and arena tours with the legendary Jeff Foxworthy, Bill Engvall and Ron White. He joined Larry the Cable Guy in 2004 and again in 2007 for his wildly successful arena tours spanning the United States and Canada. He also toured with Jeff Foxworthy, Larry the Cable Guy and Bill Engvall on the “Them Idiots Whirled Tour,” which was filmed as a special on CMT and aired in 2012.
Reno was the host of the NBC primetime show, “The Great American Road Trip.” His past television credits include "The Comedy Central Roast of Larry the Cable Guy,” TBS’ "Blue Collar Comedy: The Next Generation,” Comedy Central's "Premium Blend,” NBC's "Late Friday,” and "The Martin Short Show.” Reno had his own "Comedy Central Presents” half-hour special.
Reno has twice headlined the "Comics on Duty” tour for American troops stationed in Iraq. He is a regular fixture on the Bob & Tom syndicated radio show and Country Music Television (CMT), hosting various specials for the network. He has performed at the prestigious HBO Comedy Arts Festival in Aspen and the Montreal Comedy Festival. Reno also made an appearance in the feature film "Witless Protection.”
In addition to opening for Larry the Cable Guy and Bill Engvall on tour, Reno can be heard during his weekly call-ins to the Blue Collar Comedy Channel on Sirius Satellite Radio and seen on his new comedy and fishing show “Top Hooker,” premiering on Animal Planet in June.
