Rahn Hortman Hits Side Splitters Comedy Club this Weekend
by BWW News Desk - November 22, 2016
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.
