Reserved seating for the Friday, January 16, performance of the Southern Fried Chicks Comedy Tour starring Etta May at The Clayton Center has SOLD OUT, and the venue has added a limited number of Standing Room Only tickets for sale. This is the second sell out in Clayton for the wildly popular comedy tour. The “Chicks” first appeared at The Clayton Center in January 2006.
Starring Etta May and featuring Sonya White and Karen Mills, The Southern Fried Chicks is the story of three different women, all from the South, and their hilarious take on life, love and the pursuit of happiness. It is where the Old South, the New South, and the Deep South come together for an evening of clean, clever story-telling for every generation. Life and love in the USA has never been funnier as when the original “desperate housewives” give their points of view.
Etta May has been described as “Minnie Pearl with a migraine.” May was born in Bald Knob, AR; her family didn’t realize she was girl until she was wearing a training bra. Etta May is married to a truck driver, and they have four unruly kids. Etta’s comedy career began when she was calling BINGO one night and ball sucker got stuck. Forced to entertain a room of angry Catholics, Etta May realized she could make people laugh.
Since then she has won the prestigious American Comedy Awards Stand-up Comic of the Year. She has appeared on “Oprah,” “Arsenio Hall,” “Comic Strip Live,” and MTV. May is an audience favorite on syndicated radio shows, The Bob and Tom Show and The Rick and Bubba Show. She also serves as the headline comic on CMT’s new series “CMT Comedy Stage,” the second highest rated program in CMT history. May was also the subject and first female comic ever on the biography show, “Comedy Club.” She joins the elite comedy company of Ron White, Larry the Cable Guy, and Jeff Foxworthy, as the only comedians featured on this CMT program.
The Southern Fried Chicks Comedy Tour is presented as part of The Clayton Center’s 2008-09 season. Next up, The Clayton Center will present juggler Mark Nizer on February 1 at 4 p.m. for an unforgettable afternoon of family fun.
