bill-engvallBill Engvall was the first headlining comedian I had ever experienced — I was 33 years old at the time. It was at the Improv Comedy Club at the end of 1992 (the comedy club died the next year).

I laughed so hard that night my ribs were sore for two days.

That single event set the level of laughter that I wanted to achieve in my own stand-up comedy career.

Now Bill Engvall has become one of America’s top comedians and has scored #1 albums earning platinum and gold status, out-selling super star comedians like Chris Rock, Adam Sandler and Jerry Seinfeld.

He has also starred in “Blue Collar TV” and the Blue Collar Comedy Tour movies, whose original documented the most successful comedy tour in years.

Bill recently participated in the final installment of the Blue Collar Comedy Tour, appearing on the One For The Road CD and DVD. His newest CD and DVD,15º Off Cool, filmed at the Paramount Theatre in Austin, TX, features all-new material.

As a new or aspiring comedian, Bill Engvall is a comedy master to study and lean from, especially if you use the newer, harder hitting, conversational style of stand-up comedy as detailed in the Killer Stand-up Online Course.
