Comedian Ron "Tater Salad" White first rose to fame as the cigar-smoking, scotch-drinking funnyman from the Blue Collar Comedy Tour phenomenon, but now as a chart-topping Grammy-nominated comedian and a feature film actor, Ron White has established himself as a star in his own right. White has always been a classic storyteller. His stories relay tales from his real life, ranging from growing up in a small town in Texas to sharing stories of his daily life to becoming one of the most successful comedians in America. He has sold over 14 million albums (solo and with the Blue Collar Comedy Tour), been nominated for two Grammys, and has consistently been one of the top grossing stand up comedians on tour in America.
Ron White began performing comedy in 1986 and was quickly opening for legendary comedians Sam Kinison and Jeff Foxworthy. While eventually making the rounds as a comedy club headliner, in 2000, White was asked to join the Blue Collar Comedy Tour alongside Jeff Foxworthy, Bill Engvall and Larry the Cable Guy. The show toured for over three years to sold-out audiences in over 270 cities and grossed more than $35 million. In 2003, Warner Brothers filmed the show, Blue Collar Comedy Tour: The Movie for a theatrical/TV/DVD/CD release. The film premiered as the most-watched movie in Comedy Central's history. In 2005, the video Blue Collar Comedy Tour Rides Again was filmed and released on TV and DVD/CD.
In November of 2003, White released his breakthrough comedy CD Drunk In Public followed by his first one-hour TV comedy special They Call Me Tater Salad. The special had the highest viewership for a Sunday program in Comedy Central history. The DVD version reached #1 on the Billboard Comedy Chart. White's second one-hour special You Can't Fix Stupid aired on Comedy Central to 4.5 million viewers, making it the third largest audience in Comedy Central's history and the #1 show on primetime basic cable. The CD reached #1 on the Billboard Comedy Charts and remained there for 9 consecutive weeks. This success also earned White his first Grammy nomination. Ron received his second Grammy nod for the show Blue Collar Comedy Tour - One for The Road. In June 2006, Penguin Books released Ron's first book Ron "Tater Salad" White: I Had the Right to Remain Silent...But I Didn't Have the Ability, which landed him on the New York Times Best Seller List. In 2009, Ron released his 3rd album Behavioral Problems, which reached #1 on the Billboard Comedy Chart. In 2013 Ron's 4th album, A Little Unprofessional, also reached #1 on the Billboard Comedy Chart. Never one to rest on his laurels, Ron White partnered with Netflix to release his most recent effort- the highly successful comedy special, "If You'd Quit Listening, I'd Shut Up."
As an actor, Ron White has had supporting roles in the major theatrical films Horrible Bosses and Sex and the City 2. He also had a principal role in Jayne Mansfield's Car (written/directed by Billy Bob Thornton). He was a co-Executive Producer of Bridegroom, a Linda Bloodworth-Thomason documentary, which debuted at the 2013 NYC Tribeca Film Festival and won the Audience Award. In 2016, Ron White's acting talents were showcased alongside Luke Wilson, Carla Gugino, and Imogen Poots, in music-industry veteran Cameron Crowe's Showtime series, Roadies. White played road-tested tour manager Phil in a critically praised performance.
Live performances on a comedy stage remain the life-blood of Ron White, and after all these years, the fans still can't get enough. White maintains a rigid touring schedule, and plays to sold out crowds all over the country night after night. The industry also continues to take notice; in 2021, Ron White was nominated as Pollstar's Comedy Touring Artist of the Decade.
Very funny guy. A friend wanted me to order her a ticket, so I did. Then I happened to see Ron on a couple of Dr. Phil shows about 3 weeks ago, so I ordered myself a ticket. A lot of folks exiting the venue said he was the best comedian they'd ever seen. The opening act was good too.
Great artist, great timing and a real guy. However, he makes it clear it is his audience paying for his jet, scotch and great lifestyle. If he wants to maintain that lifestyle inwhich he has grown accustomed, he will have to play longer shows. For the price, a set that lasted just over an hour is not enough bang for our buck. When he announced he was ending around 45 minutes in, I was really surprised. He did an encore of sorts, grabbed his scotch and our money and RAN.
Couldn't stop laughing, not a lot of old material, lots of new stuff. Couldn't ask for a better performance from ol' Tater Salad, hope he comes back again soon.
I missed Ron White the first time he was in Winnipeg because I had to work. I got really excited when I found out he was coming back. It was every bit as good as I thought it would be. Even better. He is the funniest comedian I have ever seen.
This was simply the best stand up act I've ever seen!
The seats were great we had, the sightlines were perfect and Ron White was himself. Gut busting Funny. My wife and I enjoyed it very much and it was nice to hear all brand new material which made you wonder what was going to come out of his mouth next. I'm usuallly very disappointed in comedy shows because you can hear them all on Sirius/ XM Radio so this was a really nice change and it was nice to have sat beside Ron's Wife at the show too.
I saw Ron White at the Burton Cummings Theatre on Sunday May 9, 2010. Awesome time. I would recommend to anyone who has a chance to see him in concert. Very funny.
My cheeks are sore from laughing so much. Lots of belly laughs.
Loved him and would see him again for sure. My husband also loved the show. Todd Sawyer was also quite funny. This was our first time seeing a show at the burton cummings theatre and found it good. Could see well and wasn` t too squashed. Hope he comes back again next year.
Same great comedian ... he just wasn't into it. He threw some new stuff in too which was nice. My friends and I drove from Toronto to Erie, PA to see him. Don't know if it was the venue for him or what.
Pretty good night out. Heard a lot of the jokes a previous show, but still a hilarious act the second time around. Definately a fun night out!
My girlfriend and I drove 7 hrs from Ottawa to Atlantic City to see Ron White and it was worth every second. Ron is by far the best stand-up comic around today. Not only were the jokes hilarious but Ron seemed to be having just as much fun as the audience.
