Hurts” and “Breeder,” that can
be heard on Sirius Satellite
Radio and 24/7 Comedy
Radio. He is also author of the
book “Happiness Isn’t Funny.”
Opening for Rutledge will
be comedian Travis Nelson.
It’s not often the world spits
out a 6-foot-9 softcore misan-
thrope with a heart of gold; in

kind in that regard.
Travis has been featured on
Rooftopcomedy.com and has
worked with nationally known
commedians, such as Shane
Mauss and Ryan Stiles.
