"Call Jimmy and tell him to bring his cat…"

Rocky Laporte fans may recognize the above as one of the multitude of wildly funny lines in his act. And, in a recent article on Rocky in Cleveland Scene, we learn that, since his recent Tonight Show appearance (and his recent divorce), his life and career are on a roll.

Some of his latest material is about his recent divorce after 18 years of marriage. LaPorte has moved from Hollywood back to Chicago to be closer to his four kids. And for the first time in a long while, he feels that his life and career have come together. “It’s fun having no ties,” he reflects. “You come home, and no one’s yelling at you. Maybe it’ll wear off in a year or two. But right now, I actually like it. If I go where I’m supposed to go, everything falls into place.”
