Meet Rex Havens, a former lawyer and college professor who switched careers from the courtroom and lecture hall to the comedy stage. Rex found his true calling in making people laugh, turning his back on the legal world for the unpredictable but rewarding life of a stand-up comedian. With his career spanning over two decades, Rex has honed his craft in various comedy clubs, bringing a unique blend of wit and insight from his past that only someone with his diverse background could offer.

Rex Havens is not your average comedian; His journey in comedy began in the local scenes of central Illinois, eventually taking him to stages across the country. Rex's goal in comedy was simple yet profound: to avoid returning to the conventional 9-to-5 life. He sought to make a living by doing what he loves and bringing joy and laughter to audiences. Despite his success in comedy, he never aspired to late-night show fame or Hollywood stardom; but his satisfaction comes from the live connection with his audience and the joy of stand-up.
