Ron "Tater Salad" White


Since it's been a while since I blogged on a semi-regular basis, there are some stories I never got to.

Back in the fall I got tickets to see Ron White over at the Tropicana. Out of the Blue Collar Comedy Tour bunch he is without a doubt the funniest. Jeff Foxworthy, other that the "you might be a redneck" stuff...not funny. Bill Engvall......absolutely not funny. Even Larry the Cable Guy's act can feel stale after about a half hour.

Here's what I like in my comedians.

1) Sarcasm...and the more of it the better.

2)a feeling that it's the two of us sitting around and telling funny stories.

3) No "what's the deal with airline peanuts jokes"!!!! Be creative. I paid good money for this.

If you've never seen Ron White's act. You must be living in a cave. Comedy central pretty much puts it on and hits the repeat button once a month.

Ron has all three of the above categories taken care of. And as an added bonus he appaers to be drunk. Which adds a certain class to the festivities. I used to think the"drinking" was an act, but he is starting to really get that "i Drink Too Much look".

The whole show was good. One of the highlights was that there were these two seats right in the middle....empty. It's a sold out show. So about 30 minutes into it. Two people come in and guess where there seats are? Yep, those two seats. Now i don't know about you. But if I had those seats for a comedy show I would not show up late. You're going to be ridiculed. Sure enough they head for the seats. Ron stops what he was talking about......says"Oh! Hey ! Glad you could make it!! Is the anything I can get you?...........LIKE A FUCKING WATCH!!!!" Bang!!! The whole crowd erupts.

Anyway, if you haven't seen his act find one of his DVDs. Sit back and get ready to laugh. I promise you won't be dissappointed.

PEACE!!!
