GARRISON KEILLOR AND ERICA RHODES: THE CRAZY UNCLE AND HIS SENSIBLE NIECE
Garrison Keillor did A Prairie Home Companion for more than forty years, wrote fiction and comedy, and invented a town called Lake Wobegon, where all the children are above average, even though he himself grew up evangelical in a small separatist flock where all the children expected the imminent end of the world. Since the public radio show wrapped up in 2016, author and humorist Keillor has written a memoir and other books, and — in his 80s — has forged a career in stand-up comedy. His biweekly online column can be found on Substack. And his podcast and email newsletter The Writer’s Almanac is sent out daily to internet subscribers (free).
“Fans laughed, applauded and sang along throughout Sunday night’s two-hour show” —Jeff Baenen, AP News
“His shows can, for a couple of hours, transform an audience of even so-called coastal elites into a small-town community with an intimacy only radio and its podcast descendants can achieve” —Chris Barton, LA Times
“[Keillor is] an expert at making you feel at home with his low-key, familiar style. Comfortable is his specialty.” —Betsie Freeman, Omaha World-Herald
Erica Rhodes is a comedian and actor who has appeared on America’s Got Talent, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Don’t Tell Comedy, ABC’s Modern Family, HBO’s Veep, Fox’s New Girl, @midnight, NBC's Bring the Funny, CW’s Howie Mandel Comedy Extravaganza, and Fox’s Punchline. Erica voiced the scene-stealing character of “Dotty” in the hit Netflix animation series A Tale Dark & Grimm and starred in the ABC Digital series The Off Season.
Erica was chosen as a New Face for the 2018 Just for Laughs Festival and has performed at JFL Bermuda & Vancouver, Netflix Is A Joke, Moontower Comedy Festival, and San Francisco Sketchfest. Her most recent album, Ladybug, was released in 2023, and her albums Sad Lemon and Ladybug hit #1 on the iTunes comedy charts. Her one-hour comedy special, La Vie en Rhodes, was produced as part of the Tribeca Drive-In Fest and can now be viewed on Amazon Prime. Her Dry Bar special, Love You More, has more than 2 million views on YouTube and can also be viewed on Amazon. Sofia Vergara proclaimed Rhodes "the best comedy act she has ever seen on AGT." Bring the Funny judge Jeff Foxworthy described Erica as “the best-defined comic voice of the competition.” Erica was a semi-regular performer/writer on public radio’s A Prairie Home Companion, and recurred on the Audible series Dr. Katz: The Audiobook.
