Finally, Clean, Southern Style Comedy that is real life!

On Saturday January 24 I went to see a new comedy show in Statesboro GA. The show was held in a historic theater which I thought was a new concept but, after attending the show I felt like it was the perfect setting because I realized how relaxed the setting and show were and it was a perfect fit! I was intrigued by the shows stars, a former professional wrestler Joey Thurmond and a star from the Moonshiners TV series Chico. After these two faked a curtain call, entered the theater through the lobby doors just like the audience, climbed on stage from the orchestra pit, and said "Hey Y'all, We're here" I knew this wasn't going to be the average stand up comedy routine. The first thing after taking the stage was to acknowledge any veterans of the armed services and as one said "Thank you for keeping my family safe and allowing me to live in the greatest country the world has ever known." The stage was simply set with a couple of coolers and stools of which the two used the coolers to sit and the stools as tables for their Mason Jars of Sweet Tea. From the very beginning it was evident these were just plain, good 'ole boy types that were more than happy to share their southern drawl and given the gift of gab! As the audience listed to stories of Professional Wrestling, Moonshining, Policing, Rodeo, and much more they were in a constant state of belly laughs and wiping the tears of laughter from their eyes. In what seemed like a visit with that uncle or cousin that everyone wants to sit near at family gatherings an hour and a half slipped by in what seemed to be only 20 minutes. Ending with an extremely inspirational note these two exited the stage to a standing ovation from the crowd. On the way through the lobby both stars were there shaking hands and taking pictures with the audience. Absolutely a class act and a wonderful evening!
