PORTALES—Jon Reep, otherwise known as "The Hemi Guy," will perform his standup comedy routine at 8 p.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 7, in Ground Zero in the Campus Union Building.
Reep is known to millions as the loveable redheaded redneck in the Dodge Ram commercials who leans out of a beat-up car and utters the now famous line: "That thing gotta Hemi?" Reep has also been seen on CBS's Star Search and NBC's Late Night.
Before Reep hit it big, he was already one of the funniest comics in America, selling out clubs and getting standing ovations at college after college across the country.
His show is supersonic energy filled with non-stop characters, dead-on impressions, and super clever writing.
His show is free and open to the public. For more information, call 505.562.2631.
