Ron White

The Blue Collar Comedy Tour star is one proud Texan

If you can’t tell by his accent that Blue Collar Comedy Tour star Ron White is from Texas, just listen to a few of his jokes: “If you come to Texas and kill somebody, we will kill you back. There’s a bill in the legislature right now that says if there are three witnesses who saw you commit a heinous crime and you get convicted, you don’t sit on death row for 15 years, you go straight to the front of the line. Other states are trying to abolish the death penalty; in Texas we’re putting in an express lane.” See White’s killer comedy at 7:30 p.m. Friday, 7:30 and 10:30 p.m. Saturday. Verizon Wireless Theater, 520 Texas. For information, call 713-629-3700 or visit www.livenation.com. $44.75.
Fri., Nov. 21, 7:30 p.m.; Sat., Nov. 22, 7:30 & 10:30 p.m., 2008

    I also never saw a news report about this. We were at the second show, and lets just say, yes, of course, Ron White joked about the woman falling from the balcony. He also ragged on the Verizon Theater for being a piece of crap. Doubt he will be back there either! I hope the lady and the one she fell on ended up okay. Unfortunately, it just gave him extra material for his next show.

    I hope to see an article this week about the woman that fell from the balcony during the Saturday 7:30 p.m. Ron White show. I did not see anything that I could report, only that the show was interrupted for a few minutes. This was the 1st time for me to see a performance of any kind at the Verizon Theater. Balcony seats and floor seats close to the stage are probably ok but floor seats from very far back are terrible. I doubt I'll return for any more performances to the Verizon. Ron White was pretty good and the opening act was also pretty good.
