Parris Funeral Home ‘Funiest man’ performs Thursday night at Joy For over two decades, the unforgettable caricature of veteran comedian James Gregory, dubbed the "funni- ' est man in America" has stood grinning: his shirt un- tucked, his arms out- stretched, a carefree welcome to a down-home hilarious comedy experi- ence. The trademark caricature is the essence of James Gre- gory's comedy rib-tickling reflections on life from the front porch. The Kings Mountain Lit- tle Theatre and Joy Per- forming Arts will bring Gregory to Kings Mountain Thursday for a 7 p.m. sold out show at The Joy and a second show, by popular demand, at 9 p.m. General admission tickets for the 9 p.m. show are $26.50. « James does not tiptoe through life as if he's walk- ing on broken glass or egg “shells. That style is evident on stage as well. He is not politically correct. Much of his humor is centered on brilliant observations. of people obsessed with the slightest change in weather conditions now referred to as global warming. He de- lights in poking fun at rela- tives, modern sensitive parents and out of control environmentalists. Gregory has been quoted as saying, "If you want me to be con- cerned about endangered species, you need to con- vince me that we're about out of chickens." The James Gregory show turns the clock back to a time when life was sim- pler; to a better time, before the death of common sense; a time when people sat on the front porch and actually talked to each other without a cell phone in their ear. His unique brand of humor has packed the crowds. ‘will run in the newspaper. notes. each. Obituaries begin at $25. DEADLINES THE KINGS MOUNTAIN HERALD © 700 E. Gold St. » PO.
