Rich Little on Tour

A show business legend for over 50 years, Rich Little lives up to his reputation as “The Man of a Thousand Voices” with performances that never fail to delight audiences. The master mimic returns to the Las Vegas Strip to present Rich Little Live!, an autobiographical one-man show at the Laugh Factory in the Tropicana Las Vegas.

The show features Little’s impersonations of many of the actors, singers and politicians he has known — and pretended to be — throughout a storied career that began in his native Canada. After honing his skills with his performances onstage, on radio and on television in Canada, he made his American television debut on The Judy Garland Show in 1964. He soon became a regular on TV shows and nightclub stages on both sides of the border.

Rich Little’s incredible repertoire of impressions includes Hollywood stars like Humphrey Bogart and his friend Jimmy Stewart along with many American presidents, starting with his iconic impersonation of Richard Nixon. They’re just a few of the special people that audiences will meet in Rich Little Live!, along with the man who’s as memorable as anyone he’s played.

Rich Little Background

Rich Little’s legendary career as a master mimic began in the late 1940s when he was a teenager in his hometown of Ottawa, Canada, where he entertained himself during his job as a movie theater usher by imitating the actors on screen. After finding fame as a comedian and impersonator on Canadian television and radio, Little came to the attention of American audiences when he landed a guest spot on The Judy Garland Show in 1964. He soon became a regular performer on such shows as The Dean Martin Celebrity Roast, The Julie Andrews Hour and The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson.

Little also became one of the top entertainers in Las Vegas, performing at such fabled venues as the Golden Nugget, The Sands and Caesars Palace. Little’s later shows on the Strip included The Kopykats, an impressionist revue performed at the Sahara, and The Presidents, a show at Paris Las Vegas and the Suncoast that featured the incredible range of presidential impressions beginning with Little’s spot-on take on Richard Nixon.

Since 2015, Little has shared stories of many of the famous actors, singers and politicians he’s known in his career in Rich Little Live! at the Laugh Factory in The Tropicana Las Vegas.
