An Evening with Rob Riggle

Garden State Author Talks is thrilled to launch its very first event with comedian, actor, and veteran Rob Riggle. Best known for The Daily Show, Saturday Night Live, and films like Step Brothers, 21 Jump Street, and The Hangover, Riggle has built a career as one of the most recognizable comic voices of the past two decades. This evening will showcase Riggle not just as a performer, but as a storyteller. With humor and candor, he’ll share highlights from his journey—spanning military service in the U.S. Marine Corps to breakout roles in Hollywood—and the lessons he’s learned along the way. Expect plenty of laughs, but also surprising reflections on resilience, reinvention, and risk-taking. Riggle’s career proves that comedy is more than entertainment—it’s a way to connect and spark deeper conversations. Whether you know him for scene-stealing movie roles, his sharp comic timing on television, or countless guest appearances, his mix of wit and warmth makes every story unforgettable. This event also marks the official debut of Garden State Author Talks, a new nonprofit dedicated to bringing nationally known voices to communities across New Jersey. Our mission: to create engaging cultural experiences while supporting the state’s bookstores, venues, and arts organizations. Join us in Montclair as Rob Riggle helps us kick off a new series that will celebrate authors, comedians, and public figures in conversation. It’s a chance to see him up close, unfiltered, and full of the humor and insight that have made him a beloved figure on screen and stage.
