Rob Little's outlook on life can be summed-up in two words: Pure Optimism. Rob's ability to see things in a positive light, coupled with his desire to make people laugh, has served him well. While working in a lucrative position as a computer programmer for IBM, he decided to take a huge risk.

He now enjoys an incredibly successful career as a stand-up comedian along with an impressive and growing portfolio.
Having established himself as one of the funniest, most progressive, comedians in the country, it's easy to understand why The Detroit Free press selected him as the "Best up and Coming Comedian," and he was selected as a feature performer at the Chicago and Boston Comedy Festivals. Rob was excited to be named Budweiser's "Real Man of Comedy". Last Comic Standing on NBC named him, "The Happiest Comic in America". Campus Activities Magazine

When The Eagles stopped to catch their breath a few decades ago, having sold over 100 million records, collected six Grammy's, and enjoyed six #1 albums, Hotel California began a pioneering journey through their history-making music that has taken them around the globe and thrilled hundreds of thousands of Eagles fans. It's been a journey they could never have imagined back in 1986, but their dedication, unique musical gifts, and an obsessive commitment to doing this legendary music true justice in performance, set them apart from the many Eagles bands that came after them. Hotel California toured relentlessly from the 80's straight through to today, setting the standard for world-class tribute productions as they went, and sharing stages with the likes of The Doobie Bros., Lynyrd Skynyrd, Gretchen Wilson, REO Speedwagon, and many more. From Japan to Dubai, Toronto to Texas, Hotel California has boldly taken the tribute band where none had gone before them, and changed an industry's collective mind about how good a "tribute" band could really be.
Today Hotel California continues to tour internationally, and their stage show has evolved into one of the most impressive and popular productions on the North American soft-seat and festival circuits. Featuring original members within their strongest lineup to date, the band is enjoying what they do today more than ever - and it sure sounds like it! It won't take you long to hear why legions of Eagles fans come back to see them time after time, and the top venues & festivals have them back again and again. The easy-going warmth that comes from the band onstage exemplifies the Southern California sound of the 1970's. The experience of a Hotel California show isn't just about the band - it's about celebrating the music and the memories, and the band gets the audiences involved and on their feet! Close your eyes and you're right back there...
Drawing their name from Def Leppard’s fifth studio album (which debuted at No. 1 on both the UK Albums Chart and the U.S. Billboard 200), ADRENALIZE – The Ultimate Def Leppard Experience recreates the chart-topping, chest-thumping anthems that made Def Leppard the iconic and dominant force in arena rock of the ‘80s and beyond.
You'll hear the hook-laden radio and MTV mega-hits like "Foolin'", "Rock of Ages," “Photograph,” “Hysteria,” "Rocket," "Animal," “Armageddon It,” "Love Bites," and "Pour Some Sugar On Me," along with deep cuts like "Wasted," "High 'n' Dry," and "Switch 625!"
Def Leppard, inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2019, is one of the world’s best-selling music artists, having sold more than 100 million records worldwide. They also hold the honor of being the top UK hard rock touring act, grossing $514 million worth of tickets since July 1980. This places them as the highest UK rock band earner in the last 42 years ahead of Iron Maiden.
No rock band epitomized the spirit of the ‘80s more than Def Leppard. Fusing the hard edge of heavy metal to a melodic pop sensibility, the British rockers dominated that decade with two classic albums- 1983’s Pyromania and 1987’s Hysteria- whose massive sales were fueled by the band’s near-constant presence on MTV.
See the road tested and accomplished stage performers of ADRENALIZE – The Ultimate Def Leppard Experience embody the swaggering, electrifying stage personae of the Lads from Sheffield, and their undeniable intensity will captivate you and leave you singing, fist pumping, and screaming for more!
