MANAGERS CHOICE Carl Labove toured with Sam Kinision & The Outlaws for 16 years until Sam's death.

His act senters around a unique storytelling style in which he incorporates quick-witted improvisation with physical reenactments of his tales. "I'm a scene-ist. I do comedy scene work. I bring up a subject and then I perform it. It's no jokes." In the case of Carl LaBove, it can be said he is a combination of both performance artist and stand-up comedian.
