Chippewa County, Wisconsin: Local activities & entertainment
In 1976, Larry Heagle left his job as a junior high English teacher and pursued performing full time without looking back. Over forty years later, he is still going strong – making people laugh and forget their troubles, even if it is just for a short time. Drawing on years of personal experience, Larry’s humorous (and sometimes musical) insights on life in Wisconsin will have you laughing out loud. Larry is a veteran of nightclubs, comedy clubs, and as an opening act for such stars as Jay Leno, Ray Charles, Emmy Lou Harris, Johnny Cash, and many others. He has performed at Milwaukee Summerfest, State Fairs, and television. “There is nothing better than laughter to ease a person’s ‘blues,’” Larry notes. “The ultimate compliment is when an audience member tells me, ‘You made me laugh so hard that now my cheeks hurt!’ ” Downsville native Larry Heagle is a comedian, musician, actor and now author of his recently released memoir, Not Really Sane, Not Really Sorry: Tales of an Itinerant Performer.
