Comedy Of Ginger Billy

Ginger Billy is a hillbilly turned comedian and has been recognized as a heartthrob because of his incredible physique. He is shirtless, tattooed and gives viewers a humorous look into life. For years, he was a respiratory therapist, but one day, after the retirement of Dale Earnhardt Jr., he thought he’d make a video, and his popularity on social media launched his comedy career.

Tickets: VIP seats $50 | Tier 1 $35 | Tier 2 $25 + Fees

May 20-21: Dennis James on The Mighty Wurlitzer: Keaton & Lloyd, 7 p.m.; May 20, 2:30 p.m., Coleman Theatre

Dennis James will delight the audience as he performs the score to accompany Buster Keaton and Harold Lloyd, two classic comedy stars. James selected a short Keaton film to showcase Keaton’s style in The Balloonatic, which finds Keaton walking through an amusement park and eventually floating away in a hot air balloon. He lands in the forest, where he encounters a woman, and the gags mount as they try to survive in the wilderness. James will then follow with the physicality of Harold Lloyd in Safety Last, a vehicle for Lloyd’s continuing study of ambition in America. As The Young Man Out to Make His Name in the World, Harold lands a job as a department store clerk and sends glowing letters and lavish gifts to the girl back home, leading her to think him suddenly wealthy and in need of financial, and marital, guidance. Upon her unexpected arrival, Harold enters into his elaborate ruse to impress the girl, climaxing in a now-famous aerial publicity stunt.

Tickets - Adults: $20, seniors: $17, students: $12 plus tax and fees. May 29: 2023 Memorial Day Ceremony, 10:30 a.m., GAR Cemetery, 2801 North Main Street. Call 918.541.2288 for information
