JJC Alumni Comedy Night
When: March, Fine Arts Theatre, Main Campus
In 2008 the JJC Alumni Association hosted the Southern Fried Chicks Tour starring
Etta May and featuring Trish Suhr, Beth Donahue and Sonya White is the top-grossing
all female comedy tour on the road today.
The Southern Fried Chicks is the story of four different women and their hilarious
take on life, love and the pursuit of happiness. Think Blue Collar Comedy Tour with
better hair and bigger attitude! Life and love in the USA has never been funnier
as when the original "desperate housewives" give their point of view. You'll leave
the theatre wiping your eyes, holding your sides and waiting for you next helping
of the Southern Fried Chicks.
