Cowboy Bill Martin – Headliner

Comedian Cowboy Bill Martin has built a loyal following of fans from coast to coast the old fashioned way – by working the road and bringing the funny. The Texas native has toured with some of the biggest names in country music including George Jones, George Strait, Brad Paisley and Rascal Flatts and has headlined some of the most prestigious clubs and theaters across the U.S. and Canada.

But don’t let the name fool you. Critic Punch Shaw of The Fort Worth Star Telegram says, "Martin is not your typical country-cowboy comic. There’s no talk about trailer parks or inbreeding. Sure he wears cowboy garb on stage and he speaks with a Texas accent but his comedy touches people of all cultures. In performance, he’s apt to remind you of Gary Busey with an edge. That is especially applicable, especially when Martin flashes a toothy grin and gives a gee-whiz shrug of his broad shoulders."

What makes Bill different on stage is that he isn’t scared to go outside of his comfort zone. “After Blue Collar hit, it seems like every comic out there was trying to be them – and ‘Redneck it’ up”, says Bill, “and I didn’t want to do that. But when you have a name like Cowboy Bill, peoples expectations are that you are going to be just like them.”

Speaking from the heart and tackling issues that other "country" comics wouldn’t dare to venture, don’t miss your opportunity to experience the creative and entertaining, Cowboy Bill Martin – you will leave pleasantly surprised.

Quinn Dahle – Feature

With appearances on The Tonight Show, Comedy Central and Carson Daly, Quinn is a smart, clean and witty stand-up comic with impeccable timing. He has worked with such names as Robin Williams, Drew Carey, Tim Allen, Dane Cook, Dana Carvey, Norm McDonald, Jon Lovitz, Bill Maher, Frank Caliendo, David Alan Grier, John Witherspoon, Tommy Chong, John Pinette and Harland Williams.

According to Quinn “People told me I should do stand-up since I was a kid.” And it just happens that this talented young man comes from a showbiz family. Mr. Dahle Sr. played in the band Copperhead and had an album out in the early 1970’s. Mr. Dahle Jr. decided he would rather write jokes than songs.

Never afraid to jump in feet first, Quinn looks out for his fellow comics and actually saved another comic's life one time while on the road. “I was opening for some fat guy at a casino in Nevada early in my career. He was about 30 minutes into his act when he started choking on some rock salt from a shot of tequila. The room was packed with about 500 people and they thought it was a joke at first. Then he came backstage pointing to his throat. No one else knew the Heimlich so I gave it a try. I could barely get my arms around him because he was so overweight but it did come up eventually. He told me I saved his life but I just did what any hero would do.”

The future looks bright for Mr. Quinn Dahle. Projects in the works include touring his stand-up act, constantly writing new material and breaking into television and movies.


Sean Peabody – Host

Sean Peabody is an energetic up and coming comic from the San Francisco Bay Area and one of Tahoe Comedy North’s favorite comedians. Sean was raised in Vallejo California and jumped on the comedy scene in Fairfield California. He has performed in clubs and colleges up and down the west coast and has worked with comedians such as, John Witherspoon, D.C. Curry, Will Durst, Andres Fernandez, John Diresta and more.

Rowie – Guest Spot

Rowie has been entertaining audiences with his wit, material and impressions since birth. A multi-dimensional entertainer, Rowie takes the crowd on a ride delivering razor sharp lines of deadpan cynicism with things you’ve thought but never had the guts to say. His clean and current topics are truly a refreshing experience.

Born and raised in Sacramento, Rowie spent his winters skiing and racing in Tahoe at Alpine Meadows. Rowie left Sac for Lake Tahoe in the 80’s to coach for the Squaw Valley Ski Team and chase the extreme skiing scene which was just taking off. Along with skiing he’s an avid golfer which keeps him busy year round.

He has opened for some of America’s biggest comedians. With fans throughout the country, Rowie’s act grabs your attention, keeps it, and makes you want to hear more.

Aaron Wilson – Guest Spot

Local funny man Aaron Wilson takes making people laugh seriously, "One thing I try to do is make people pee their pants, if I can do that I know I've done well. Getting his start in Elko, Aaron hosted pig auctions then moved on to funerals and finally got his big break at an open mic in Sparks. Since then he's appeared several times with Tahoe Comedy North in the Crown Room at the Crystal Bay Club and Tahoe Gal. "Eventually I'm going to go back and buy that dang pig farm!!" Look for Aaron on Comedy Central and HBO.
