Rodney Carrington on Tour
One of America's most popular comedians and an actor and author to boot, Rodney Carrington shows just what kind of good times can happen when country meets comedy.
Since the breakthrough success of his first major-label release Hangin' with Rodney in 1998, Carrington has been a favorite of audiences all over the world thanks to his enjoyably raucous take on the best things in life, starting with whatever's in the bottle in front of him. With signature songs like "Just One Beer," "Wish She Would Have Left Quicker" and "Put Your Clothes Back On," he proves that some jokes just go better when combined with the twang and swagger of a country tune.
In addition to being one of America's Top 10 highest-grossing comedians, Carrington headlined his own ABC sitcom with Rodney and co-starred with Toby Keith in the feature film Beer For My Horses. In 2017, his special Here Comes The Truth brought his blue-collar brand of stand-up and musical comedy to Netflix. His 2020 tour of venues across the U.S. and Canada follows the release of his latest album, Get Em Out, which hit No. 1 on the iTunes comedy chart.
Rodney Carrington Background
Rodney Carrington has been providing proudly blue-collar audiences something to laugh about ever since his earliest days as a performer at local venues and on radio shows in his native Texas in the ‘90s.
After years of touring nationally, Carrington's breakthrough came with the 1998 release of Hangin' With Rodney, a CD that introduced listeners to the combination of comedy and country music that fast became his trademark. In 2000, he scored his first Top 20 album on Billboard's country chart with Morning Wood, an equally raucous collection that included such fan favorites as "A Dozen Roses" and "Older Women."
Along with earning platinum sales as a recording artist, Carrington's achievements include starring in the ABC sitcom Rodney (2004-2006) and co-writing and co-starring with superstar Toby Keith in the feature film Beer For My Horses (2008). In 2007, he made the jump to the publishing world with his first book, Coming Clean. His Netflix special Here Comes the Truth debuted in 2017. Get Em Out, his eighth comedy album, was released in 2019.
The show was awesome. It was one laugh after another. We thought it was well worth going to.
Great show, but don't go unless you want laugh. Funny, funny man!
can't remember a better show! i have seen most comedians & none do it any better.
Rodney carrington was hilarious! I was laughing so hard throughout the whole show!
Content was even better than expected! Go see him if he comes anywhere near you! Des Moines Civic Center needs to check the audio. Sometimes so loud you couldn't understand his words.
This show was so funny !! The only thing that bothered me was the the audio was a little loud- sometimes it it was hard to understand the song lyrics and the rest of the audio. Other people around me were saying the same thing. The show itself was fantastic !! So funny.
WOW!!!! Drove 2 1/2 hours to see him and it was worth the time and Gas money. Rodney didn't disapoint. his act is top of his game! FUNNY!!!
I haven't laughed so hard in years ... one of the funniest guys around!!
I have been a Carrington fan for a very long time. I was def. expecting alot from this show. The show was above and beyond what i expected. I cant wait till he comes back to my town again. I will def. be attending! Great Job!
From the moment we sat down to the moment we left to go home we were laughing non-stop! One of the best comedians I have ever seen. Would definately see him again!!
He makes me laugh at myself, my marriage, kids, and life in general. I can so relate to his stories of going to church, arguing with my spouse, and disciplining my children. I had difficulty hearing the words sometimes. This, of course, made it difficult to understand a few of the punch lines and songs. But, overall, I loved it!
Rodney Carrington is an amazing comedian. From one-liners to jokes with a setup, Rodney knows how to deliver! The songs were a big hit.
This was the first time we had seen Rodney Carrington on stage. He was just as funny in the show as he is on the cd's & dvd's. I would recomment this show to anyone who enjoys a good laugh at everyday events and the hilarious way that Rodney presents them.
I thought he was freakin' hilarious, but should not enter on a racist Obama joke. I can't stand Obama, but the racism jokes are a little overplayed for an Iowa audience. Other than that, great show! Maybe get a few new songs.
I was suprised I was getting good parenting tips from him during the show. He made me laugh my butt off.
Seeing Rodney Carrington live for the first time was fantastic - so much better than seeing him on cable where they bleep out the adult language. We had a non-stop laughing experience; such good medicine, especially in times like these! Thank you Rodney for such a great show!!! We'll be seeing you again!
I've been waiting a long time to see Rodney live and was not disappointed
I would .go see him again. He has a great voice We all laugh alot He is very handsome and down to earth kind of guy
IT was a really goood show. We were unsure if we'd know all the material or not beings that we are big fans but he had alot of really good new material!
I thought it was a very good show. The only way it could have been any better was to have been longer. Rodney is a great performer.
