Born in Kentucky, raised in Kansas, and currently based in Los Angeles, Rob Riggle is perhaps best known as the tough-talking correspondent on THE DAILY SHOW who reported from Iraq, but in addition he is a trained Method actor, was recently promoted to the rank of lieutenant colonel in the Marines, has a master’s degree in public administration, and cites Harvey Keitel and Tony Robbins as two of his heroes. Riggle is also a stand-up comedian who was a longtime member of the Upright Citizens Brigade and was on SNL during the 2004-5 season, and he will be bringing his routine to Comix for four shows over two nights, December 4-5. Expect lots of military-related jokes from Riggle, who has appeared in such films as THE HANGOVER and such TV shows as THE OFFICE and GARY UNMARRIED.
