Earthy humourist, singer coming

He might be considered a Renaissance Man if only his albums weren’t called Morning Wood, Nut Sack and C’Mon Laugh You Bastards.

The earthy humour of Texas standup comedian, actor and country music artist Rodney Carrington will be heard during two shows on Sunday at Red Deer’s Memorial Centre.

Carrington is known for mixing comedy and music on six major-label studio albums, starting from Hangin’ With Rodney in 1998 to El Niño Loco in 2009.

The 44-year-old has also starred in the TV sit-com Rodney and in the 2008 film Beer For My Horses. And he appears in music videos for If I’m the Only One, More of a Man and Dancin’ With a Man.

Tickets to his 4 and 7:30 p.m. Laughter’s Good concerts are $58.35 from the Black Knight Ticket Centre.
