Sonya White
Sonya White headlines the Sunday Funday show at the Paramount Center for the Art, Bristol, Tennessee, Sunday Oct. 6 at 3 p.m.
White combines Southern charm with city-wise street smarts to create a show that won her multiple appearances on Star Search (CBS), promo spots on Last Comic Standing (NBC), featured role and national tour in Southern Fried Chicks (CMT), nomination for “Best Female Performer” by Campus Activities Magazine, appearance on “Girls Behaving Badly” (Oxygen), on “Comedy Spotlight Roadtrip” (Comcast), and performances at the “U.S. Comedy Arts Festival” (HBO, E!, Comedy Central).
Her comedy is peppered with spot-on impersonations and sound effects. Her stand-up comedy show and her one woman show “Airing Dirty Laundry” are based on real life experiences, interactions with friends and family, and reflections of the world at large. Her TV credits also include a “Spring Break” promo (MTV), late night’s “Night Shift” (Fox), a very colorful character on “The Jerry Springer Show,” an appearance on “Big Brother Jake” (Family Channel) and voice-work for “Pick Your Shorts” (Cartoon Network).
The Sunday Funday also features Big Jake Hovis from Louisville, Kentucky and local favorites Shawn Carter and Grampy. Tickets range from $19.53 - $25 and can be purchased at www.ParamountBristol.org.
