Oct. 2 @ 7:00pm
With Special guest Warren Barfield
Evansville, IN ~ Chonda Pierce is fully mobilized with tour bus, stocked with stacks of funny
new material from her just released I’m Kind of A Big Deal DVD and ready to disarm her
audience with her “Live, Love, Laugh Tour on October 2nd at Victory Theatre. Tickets go on sale
Monday, August 20 at 10:00am.
Outfitted with an abundance of unpretentious Southern charm and laser sharp wit, Chonda has
long proven to have perfected the art of winning applause with hand-to-hand comedy.
Part of her affinity for getting to “preach to the choir” is Chonda’s deft talent for imparting
thought provoking gems of wisdom amid the laughter. “Within comedy you can get by with
saying things you could never say if you were preaching a sermon,” she noted in a recent
interview. “People are having fun and being entertained and all of a sudden I’ll see those telling
looks on faces in the audience…it’s ‘ha ha….pause…oh my…what she just said is SO true!’ I love
those moments!”
Her fresh approach to wholesome comedy has birthed a unique franchise. Her DVDs are
consistently strong sellers, both on tour and at retail. Four titles have already been certified
platinum with seven gold certifications for sales of over 100,000 to her credit. With an
increasingly busy booking event schedule at major churches across the U.S., Chonda has found
time to author half dozen best-selling books-including her latest-Laughing In The Dark (Simon
& Schuster). She is recipient of the 2009 ‘Comedian of the Year’ Visionary Award. With her own
CMT-TV comedy special This Ain’t Prettyville and regular appearances on XM and Sirius satellite
radio, her visibility has ushering in a growing base of dedicated Christians–women in particular-
-who love to laugh at the everyday circumstances of life that Chonda can suddenly transform
into the hilarious!
April marked the birth of Chonda’s latest comedy brain-child–the new comedy DVD christened
I’m Kind of A Big Deal–and filled with the zany musings and reflections of new laughs close to
her heart. As the nationally acclaimed darling of laughter to a legion of fans, there’s little that
Chonda Pierce can’t spin to the funny side. But explaining the title of her latest DVD, she struck
a serious moment. “To me the whole project says that as Christians we are a ‘big deal’–we can
run with the big dogs because of who our Daddy is. Looking back, it’s been an amazing story for
a girl who grew up on the second row as a preacher’s kid back in South Carolina.”
Special musical guest and host Warren Barfield joins Chonda on tour.
