There's only one drink that's appropriate to have before (or during) this comedy show: scotch. Texas-born comedian Ron White famously downs a few glasses of his favorite drink during all of his stand-up sets — sometimes while making his way through a cigar, too. But drinks and smokes aside, White is also famous for his appearances on the Blue Collar Comedy Tour with Jeff Foxworthy, Larry the Cable Guy and Bill Engvall, as well as his own career as a Grammy Award-nominated comedian and New York Times best-selling author.
White brings his new stand-up show, "A Little Unprofessional," to the Auditorium Theatre (875 E. Main St.) on Thursday, February 21, at 7:30 p.m. Tickets cost $39.50-$59.50 and can be purchased through ticketmaster.com or by calling 1-800-745-3000. For more information visit rbtl.org.
