comediansCHATTANOOGA — The popular stars of the Sirius/XM radio family channels Carl Hurley and Jeanne Robertson will bring their down-home humor to the Tivoli Theatre on Tuesday, Oct. 5 at 2 p.m.

Like sausage and grits, sunshine and flowers, and George and Gracie, these two comedians join forces to lighten hearts, lift spirits, and tickle funny bones, promoters say.

Carl grew up swapping homespun stories in the hills of Eastern Kentucky. Jeanne is a former Miss North Carolina who finds humor in everyday life. Among the things that make them a perfect match is that both performers specialize in clean, uplifting humor. They share the philosophy that audiences are for entertaining, not embarrassing.

Drawing from his roots in the tradition of American humorists like Andy Griffith and Garrison Keillor, Carl delights audiences with his reflections on life as viewed by a native of Appalachia with a singular sense of the absurd. Carl’s unique comedy style, coupled with a background in higher education, has earned him the title “America’s funniest professor.”

Named Miss Congeniality in the Miss America Pageant of 1963, Jeanne has since been awarded every top honor in the speaking profession, including the Toastmasters Internationals 1998 Golden Gavel Award. In 2005, Jeanne was named "Southern Lady of the Year” by Southern Lady Magazine.

Tickets are available by calling (800) 955-4746 or writing mike@carlhurley.com.
