WABASH – Comedian Bill Engvall, one of the founding members of the Blue Collar Comedy Tour, will give two performances at the Honeywell Center in Wabash March 17 at 6 p.m. and 9 p.m. Sponsorship for this event is provided by Ceres Midland. What began as a shot in the dark at a Texas nightclub quickly launched Engvall to comedic superstardom when his attempt at stand up comedy turned into a successful venture. Then in 1996, Engvall released his first album, “Here’s Your Sign,” featuring the hit title track that spent 15 straight weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard charts. In January 2000, along with comedians Ron White, Larry the Cable Guy, and Jeff Foxworthy, Engvall set out with the Blue Collar Comedy Tour for a successful six-year run that launched a 2003 movie, a TV show and two more spin-off tours with a similar format. Tickets for this show are $27, $37, $47 and $75, and may be purchased at the box office from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, by calling 260-563-1102 or visiting www.honeywellcenter.org
