Metropolis fan favorite "Uncle Lar" brings his wise-cracking humor to Metropolis Performing Arts Centre for An Evening with Larry Reeb and Friends March 25, 2022.

Known as "Uncle Lar", Larry Reeb is the wise-cracking, wacky relative everyone knows. Like any concerned relative, "Uncle Lar' wants to help, so, in his own way he does, or at least tries. "Uncle Lar" gives tips on everything from dating, to driving, to children. "Uncle Lar" has been voted Chicago Comedian of the year, twice. He has won the Las Vegas Comedy Festival, the Dubuque 10K festival, and he was a finalist in the Great American Comedy Festival. "Uncle Lar" has appeared on Billy Gardell presents Road Dogs; HBO Opening night at Rodney's, hosted by Rodney Dangerfield; NBC's Last Comic Standing; and has made numerous appearances on the Bob and Tom radio show.

With special guest, Michelle Krajecki! A native Chicagoan, Michelle performs all over the Midwest and beyond. She has traveled and is a core member of The High Fiber Comedy Show, The Three Doe Show, 2 and 1/2 Comics and Flashback Funny Forward, a Vaudeville review. She can be seen at comedy clubs and corporate events. Her unique brand of humor has been described as 'observational', 'relatable' and 'hilarious'.
