Larry the Cable Guy-"Git-R-Done!"

This is the catch phrase of the church-going, strip bar-going, know-it-all comedian Larry the Cable Guy.

He was the voice of Mater in the Disney/Pixar film "Cars" as well as the star of the movies "Witless Protection", "Delta Farce" and "Larry the Cable Guy: Health Inspector."

Born and raised on a pig farm in Pawnee City, Nebraska his family then moved to West Palm Beach, Florida. Like many comics he began his career on a dare at a local comedy club in 1986. He was immediately hooked. In 1988, he quit his day job as the funniest bellhop at The Ramada and hit the road. It wasn't long before he was wowing comedy club crowds with his high energy one liner style of stand up and soon made appearances on "Evening at The Improv" "Comic Strip Live", Comedy Central, MTV and Showtime.

Receiving critical acclaim, he performs over 200 nights a year to sell-out audiences throughout Europe, New Zealand, Canada and The United States. He is one of few performers to sell out multiple, renowned theatres including Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, Brooks Atkinson Theatre, New York City Center and the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
