SUMMARY:Etta May: Still Kickin’
LOCATION:The Sharon Performing Arts Center\, 1051 Main Street\, The Village
 s\, FL 32159
DESCRIPTION:Etta May has performed her brand of clean-comedy on Oprah\, Sho
 wtime\, Comic Strip Live\, MTV\, and as a guest commentator on “CBS Sund
 ay Morning\,” Winner of the prestigious American Comedy Awards “Female
  Comic Of The Year\,” and so much more. In addition to television\, Etta
  May is a regular on Sirius-XM Comedy Channels and the syndicated Bob & To
 m radio show. Born and raised in Bald Knob\, Arkansas\, Etta May grew up a
 longside nine older brothers\, who referred to their baby sister as “the
  human sacrifice.” Etta May’s parents – her father\, a potpourri far
 mer\, and her mother\, bedridden by constant childbearing – didn’t rea
 lize she was a girl until she needed a training bra. She met her husband\,
  Delbert\, an aspiring truck driver\, at a friend’s kegger. From across 
 the yard\, their eyes locked in a loving look\, you know that stare that l
 asts a moment too long. Nine months later\, she was blessed with a boy\, a
 nd three more kids followed. “That’s where my comedy comes from. I jus
 t wait for my husband or kids to do something stupid\, and then I write it
  down.” Before finding success as a stand-up comic\, Etta wandered from 
 dead-end job to dead-end job\, including a 10-year stint as a school bus d
 river. She says she learned how to handle unruly kids by Armor-Alling the 
 seats and slamming on the brakes all the way to school. Her theory: “Kin
 d of hard to pick a fight with the kid in front of you when you’re just 
 holding on for dear life.” Then she decided to take a chance on herself 
 and follow her dream. Lots of hard work and drive\, and a few years later\
 , she wins “Female Comic Of The Year” at the American Comedy Awards. I
 t’s the American Story we are all told\, that you can become anything yo
 u set your mind to in this great country\, and for Etta May\, it worked!\n
