Hillsdale Brewing Company will host a comedy night Oct. 24. Calli Townsend | Collegian

Hillsdale Brewing Company will host a comedy show with headliner Billy Reno and opener Ronnie Rohrbeck Oct. 24. 

The doors open at 7 p.m., and the show will run from 7:30 to 9 p.m. Tickets are $20.

“If you have a sense of humor and love to laugh, this show is for you,” Reno said. “While the content will be geared towards adults, we’re not vulgar or overly explicit. I adapt to the vibe of the crowd and, as a bar comic, I thrive in that kind of atmosphere.”

According to Reno’s post, he started in the Detroit comedy scene, and he now travels across the country. He was a finalist at the Detroit to LA Comedy Competition and a finalist at the Border City Comedy Festival in Windsor, Ontario. He released his first comedy album, “Can’t Handle the Thought,” in October 2019, which spent three weeks at the top of Apple iTunes charts.

“Hillsdale offers the charm of a small town with a touch of big-city energy,” Reno said. “Honestly, I often prefer performing in small towns over big cities.”

Rohrbeck, of Shelby Township, Michigan, has opened for comedians such as T.K. Kirkland, April Macie, and Ian Fidance. According to Reno’s Facebook post, Rohrbeck lives with cerebral palsy and pursues comedy to turn challenges into punchlines. 

“I’m thrilled to be heading to Hillsdale, Michigan, for my upcoming show,” Rohrbeck said. “I can’t wait to connect with the audience and share some laughs. It’s going to be a great night of comedy.”
