Ron White

You won't get any nonsense from straight-talking, hard-drinking comic Ron White, who appears tonight at 8 at the State Theatre. White, who rose to fame on the Blue Collar Comedy Tour, embraces a redneck sensibility. A classic storyteller, he regularly talks about growing up in a small town in Texas. The guy's sold over 14 million albums (solo and with the Blue Collar Comedy Tour); he's also been nominated for two Grammys.
