Tater Salad All Year Long
Ron White will be hitting the road with his signature whiskey, cigar and stool until late December, with dates throughout the South, Midwest and West Coast.
You can hardly even call it a new tour, since "Tater Salad" has been on the road basically all year and he'll have only a two-week break between his September 3 show in Loveland, Colo., and the start of the new dates.
White's tenacity is nothing new. The comedian has been performing around the country almost non-stop for the last few years, as a headliner and on the Blue Collar Comedy Tour with friends Jeff Foxworthy, Larry The Cable Guy and Bill Engvall.
This fall's dates are mostly in large theatres and arenas, with some casinos on the books for December.
White first stumbled into comedy while working as a window salesman in the mid-1980s. Last year, he told Pollstar about his humble beginnings.
"Some guys at work had gone to an open mic night at a club that had just opened. They came back and said, ‘Ron, you're funnier than these guys. You ought to give it a try.'"
He took their advice and ended up meeting Foxworthy on his very first night at the club, starting a working relationship that would continue through the highly successful Blue Collar tour and a solid presence on Comedy Central.
