Jon Reep Overview:
Comedian and Last Comic Standing winner Jon Reep describes himself as a "metro jethro"; that is, he's a small town boy bringing those small-town ideals to the big city (in his case, Los Angeles). Reep's comedy is high energy and filled with characters, most of them variations on some sort of small-town Southern hillbilly. Though not officially a Blue Collar comedian, Reep's style and comedy make him a good fit amongst the other Blue Collar comics.
