REXBURG — A Rexburg entrepreneur is trying something new by bringing tried and true comedians to town and hoping locals and the university community will take the opportunity to “laugh out loud.”
LOL! Rexburg is a new venture by Aaron Perkins, who has already lined up three well-known comedians to perform at the Romance Theater in Rexburg.
Comedian Nick Hoff will take the stage this Saturday, Oct. 22, at 7 p.m., just one day after he’ll record his first special for Dry Bar Comedy in Provo.
Hoff has been featured in Netflix’s Comedy Festival and on MTV and is a co-host for a weekly show on SiriusXM radio, according to the event website.
Perkins says Hoff was personally selected by comedians Jeff Foxworthy and Larry the Cable Guy as an opener for their “We’ve Been Thinking” tour.
“If you’ve got an A-list comedian like Jeff Foxworthy or Larry the Cable Guy and they’re handpicking Nick Hoff to open for them, then you know you’ve got a good quality comic,” Perkins says.
Brigham Young University-Idaho’s improv comedy troupe, Unscripted, will open the show.
According to Perkins, Hoff is looking forward to his Rexburg debut.
“He is so down to earth,” Perkins says. “He is excited about this.”
Tickets are available online until the show starts.
