We also saw Bill Engvall a few years back at the Crystal Grand in the WI Dells. He had a good show, but did most of the same stuff he did on the Blue Collar Comedy Tour. I don't like Ron White because I don't think he fits in with the others and he comes off as just being a drunk. I can't stand to listen to Larry the Cable Guy either, but that's because my husband has a friend who sounds like him, dresses like him and acts like him. We've known him since high school and I didn't like him then either. He is a bachelor and a logger by trade and is THE "poster child" for Redneck! He even kept a fawn in a box in his living room once until it got too big and then he let it go...then he probably shot it that fall when he went deer hunting!
