(ENGLEWOOD, NJ) -- Comedian Ron “Tater Salad” White first rose to fame as the cigar-smoking, scotch-drinking funnyman from the Blue Collar Comedy Tour phenomenon, but now as a chart-topping Grammy-nominated comedian and a feature film actor, Ron White has established himself as a star in his own right. White will perform at the Bergen Performing Arts Center (BergenPAC) on Friday, October 16 at 8:00pm. Tickets range from $49-99.
White has always been a classic storyteller. His stories relay tales from his real life, ranging from growing up in a small town in Texas to sharing stories of his daily life to becoming one of the most successful comedians in America. All 4 of his comedy albums charted #1 on the BillboardTM Comedy Charts. He has sold over 14 million albums (solo and with the Blue Collar Comedy Tour), been nominated for three Grammys, and over the past 9 years (since 2004) been one of the top three grossing stand-up comedians on tour in America.
Ron White began performing comedy in 1986 and was quickly opening for legendary comedians Sam Kinison and Jeff Foxworthy. After eventually becoming a comedy club headliner, in 2000 White was asked to join the Blue Collar Comedy Tour alongside Jeff Foxworthy, Bill Engvall and Larry the Cable Guy. White has since released comedy CDs, TV comedy specials, books, and has received 2 Grammy nominations.
Ron White has been a passionate supporter of the US military troops for more than 20 years, donating his time and resources. As an actor, Ron White had supporting roles acted in major theatrical films and is a co-Executive Producer of Bridegroom, a Linda Bloodworth–Thomason documentary, which debuted at the 2013 NYC Tribeca Film Festival and won the Audience Award.
Bergen Performing Arts Center is located at 30 North Van Brunt Street in Englewood, NJ. For more information visit www.bergenpac.org.
