Al has over 4,000 comedy shows under his brass-buckled belt. Coast to coast, border to border, he's logged performances at more than 500 different venues! On the air, Al's TV appearances include "48 Hours" with Dan Rather and "ABC's Home Improvement" with Tim Allen, as well as featured performances on "Night Shift" and PM Magazine's "So You Want to be a Comedian." And IN THE AIR, Al Aprill was Continental Airline's -- and the world's -- first in-flight comic, drawing notices from all the major networks and wire services. High comedy, they called it. In concert, Al has appeared with such greats as the late Count Basie, Kennie Rankin and Dave Mason. In competition, he was named a 1990 & 91 Johnnie Walker National Comedy Search finalist in Detroit and Miami. In 1995, Al was finalist in the Vail Comedy Invitational Competitions in Dallas, Detroit, Indianapolis, Kansas City and St. Louis. The guy gets around. Originally from Michigan, Al began professional life as a sales engineer. His comedy career was officially launched on a 1980 business trip to L.A., when friends dared him to take the open mike at the Comedy Store. He's been entertaining ever since. Off-stage, Al is also a businessman. He markets his original line of BIGGIES, CULT TAPES, and his first published book, AUTONYMS. Al has worked with all the top comedians, he's written for some of them. In addition to clubs, he performs at golf functions, sales meetings and business conventions. We say, meet Al Aprill, himself. He's one terrific headliner. The class choice for great comedy!
