Garrison Keillor

Garrison Keillor, creator and longtime host of A Prairie Home Companion, spent four decades delighting audiences with his gentle humor, storytelling, and the fictional town of Lake Wobegon—where all the children are above average. A prolific writer of fiction, comedy, memoirs, and verse, Keillor remains creatively active in retirement, working on new books, a musical, and a Lake Wobegon screenplay, while continuing The Writer’s Almanac, delivered daily to subscribers worldwide.

Beloved for his warm, low-key style, Keillor’s live performances bring audiences together with laughter, music, and a sense of small-town intimacy. As critics note, his shows have the rare ability to make listeners feel instantly at home—comfortable, connected, and part of the story.
