Hyena's Fort Worth Comedy Nightclub is now located in Lone Star Live!

If Jon Reep's face looks familiar you may have seen him on "Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay," NBC's "Last Comic Standing," Comedy Central's "Premium Blend" or the half-hour special "Comedy Central Presents:  Jon Reep."  He's also appeared on TBS's "Pit Stop Comedy," NBC's "Late Friday," and the ABC Sitcom "Rodney" as Officer Gerald Bob the dim-witted cop.  Jon has been featured in Dodge's popular ad campaign as the "Hemi guy," and is known to millions as the redheaded hillbilly in the Dodge Ram commercials who leans out of a beat-up car and utters the now famous line:  "That thing gotta Hemi?"  Born in Hickory, NC, Jon moved to Raleigh to earn a Bachelor of Arts degree in theater at North Carolina State University.  In 2000, Jon was invited to perform at the prestigious Just for Laughs Festival in Montreal, Canada and has since been invited back to perform in the Best of the Fest and a Gala show.  Soon after he moved to Los Angeles to further his career as an actor and a stand-up.  Jon is one of the hardest working comics in America, selling out venues and getting standing ovations in clubs and theaters across the country.  His show is supersonic energy filled with non-stop characters, super clever writing, and, of course, the one talent that separates Jon from all other comedians in the world:  He's the best redneck dancer since Elvis.
