Rahn Hortman Hits Side Splitters Comedy Club this Weekend

Appearing THIS weekend:

Rahn Hortman Nov 23 & 25 - 27

Rahn Hortman never thought that one day seasoned veterans of comedy would give him personal praise for his own stage show being "refreshing" and "a departure from the norm". But fittingly, nothing about Rahn's journey to the world of stand-up comedy has been normal. Born September 27th in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Rahn credits his 5th Grade Teacher as the first to nurture his natural urge to entertain. Impressed by Rahn's good grades, but frustrated by his penchant to distract classmates with his jokes, the comedian-in-training was granted the last fifteen minutes of class to do "his show" as long as he composed himself during the first forty-five! "From there I was hooked", he says wistfully.

Since relocating from Milwaukee to Tampa, Florida, Rahn Hortman has become a crowd-favorite at comedy hotspots such as The Improv and Sidesplitters. He is the champion of the W-MOR TV Channel 32 Comedy Challenge, and finished first out of seven finalist in the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Jokers Wild Contest. His reputation for clean material has allowed him to perform for church functions, private engagements, and even corporate events.

With jokes aside, two of Rahn's children suffer from the devastating condition of sickle-cell anemia. Rahn would like to use his gift of comedy as an outlet to educate the masses about the disease, and has a goal to become its National Spokesperson.
