Bill Engvall, who is best known for the “Blue Collar Comedy” tour and his appearances in film, will be hitting the H. Ric Luhrs Preforming Arts Center on Thursday, Nov. 5.
Engvall, a Grammy-nominated comedian, is also known for his numerous TV show appearances, such as “Dancing with the Stars,” “The Bill Engvall Show” and “Blue Collar TV.” Along with his TV appearances, he is also known for his comedy specials such as “Aged and Confused” and “15° Off Cool.”
Engvall got his start in comedy when he was at a nightclub in Dallas, Texas, and decided to try stand-up comedy. He found out he was good at making people laugh, which prompted him to move to Los Angeles.
Once in Los Angeles, he starred in a Showtime special, was on the “Late Show with David Letterman” and co-starred in “The Jeff Foxworthy Show.”
Engvall is also a multi-platinum recording artist. His first album, “Here’s Your Sign” held the No. 1 position on the “Billboard” Comedy Chart for 15 weeks. “Dorkfish,” his second album, was also a No. 1, along with “Aged and Confused” and “15° Off Cool.”
Engvall is also a writer, his most notable book being his autobiography, “Bill Engvall — Just A Guy.”
