Bonkerz Comedy Tour at the Island Resort & Casino

The biggest comedy tour of the year hits The Island Showroom this fall. You’ll get three times the laughs with three of the biggest performers working the comedy circuit today. Get ready! Jon Reep, Adam Ferrara and Carla Rea will leave you doubled over, gasping for breath.

You Can’t Dodge Jon Reep

You might know him as the “hemi” guy from the Dodge commercials. Soon, though, you’ll know headliner Jon Reep for his bottomless reservoir of hilarious stories. 

Jon’s appeared in Eastbound and Down, Black-ish and Harold and Kumar: Escape from Guantanamo Bay. In this last film, he played Raymus, the memorable pot-smoking farmer. 

Jon’s comedy draws heavily from his family life and the outrageous things his father has done over the years. He’s built a following through his numerous comedy specials and his winning appearance on the 5th season of Last Comic Standing.
