The
Mirage Hotel & Casino will host the seventh annual “Ron White’s Comedy
Salute to the Troops” Wednesday, March 4 at 7:30 p.m. The one-night show will
take place at the Terry Fator Theatre with proceeds benefiting the Armed Forces
Foundation.
Ron
White is best known as the cigar smoking, scotch drinking funnyman from the
“Blue Collar Comedy Tour.” He has established himself as a star in his own
right with multiple comedy albums and videos including Drunk In Public, They
Call Me Tater Salad and You Can’t Fix Stupid.
“I
look forward to spending the evening with some of my closest comedian friends
as we do our best to raise these soldiers’ spirits, and at the same time, raise
funds for a great cause,” said White. “I consider it an honor and a privilege
and I believe that it’s the duty of each of us to give back to those who give
so much – the bravest men and women on this planet. My friends and I are
thrilled to be able to do it.”
White
will be joined on stage by a lineup of hysterical comedians for an evening of
laughter, good times and giving back. This year’s roster of quick-witted talent
will be announced in the coming weeks.
The
show will be recorded in front of a live audience and will air on Country Music
Television (CMT) at a later date. This is the fifth year White and CMT have
partnered to air the special.
