Don Rickles will be performing his unique style of comedy at 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday, June 9 and June 10, at Chinook Winds Casino Resort in Lincoln City.

As one of comedy's most famous funnymen, Rickles has been entertaining crowds since 1948. Rickles has comically "insulted" the likes of Jackie Cooper, Danny Thomas, Bob Newhart, Lena Horne, Dean Martin, Ernest Borgnine, Don Adams, Ricardo Montalban and Pat Boone to name a few. His adlib style has followed him through the years and delighted audiences along the way.

A small step forward in Rickles' career occurred in 1957 at a small Hollywood nightclub. One night, Frank Sinatra wandered in to see the then-unknown Rickles perform and became a part of the act while sitting in the audience. Sinatra doubled up laughing and became one of Rickles' biggest fans. Having Sinatra in his corner made Rickles the "in" comic among the Hollywood stars who started flocking to his nightclub acts to become the targets of his "insults."


In 1967 Rickles appeared on "The Dean Martin Show," his first major appearance on a major prime-time variety show, and he scored a major success. Immediately following his first appearance on the show he was asked back for a second appearance. Not knowing who he would be "insulting" Rickles' adlib performance was talked about for weeks.

Rickles' most memorable line was his remark to Bob Hope during the Vietnam War. Rickles snapped, "What's Bob Hope doing here? Is the war over?" Lines like these are what endeared him to audiences across the country.

Ticket prices range from $10-$30. To purchase tickets, or for more information, call 1-888-MAIN-ACT (624-6228) or 541-996-5775. Chinook Winds Casino Resort, located at 1777 NW 44th St. on the beach in Lincoln City, is owned and operated by the Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians.
