SALAMANCA — Three years after he stopped in Salamanca on what was then his final tour before an announced retirement, legendary comedian Ron White will return to the Seneca Allegany Event Center stage at 8 p.m. Nov. 7.
Tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. Friday, starting at $50. This is an adult show only for audiences 21 and older.
White, affectionately known as “Tater Salad,” is a cigar-wielding comedic icon who first skyrocketed to fame as part of the legendary Blue Collar Comedy Tour alongside Jeff Foxworthy, Larry the Cable Guy and Bill Engvall. His sharp wit, laid-back demeanor and no-holds-barred humor quickly made White a standout, earning him a dedicated following.
In 1986, White began performing comedy and was quickly opening for legendary comedians, such as Sam Kinison and Foxworthy. In 2000 as a comedy club headliner, he joined the Blue Collar Comedy Tour as a founding member.
Since then, White has amassed multiple Grammy nominations and No. 1 comedy albums, along with a reputation as one of America’s most celebrated and enduring comedians. His hit specials, including “They Call Me Tater Salad” and “You Can’t Fix Stupid,” shattered Comedy Central records, cementing White’s place in comedy history.
White, who lived in metro Atlanta for several years, told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution in early 2022 that he was retiring from the stage by the end of that year.
“I don’t think it really makes sense to anybody but me,” said White, 66 at the time. “I’ve been doing this 37 years. I’ve loved the whole ride. I just feel like it’s time to put it down. I have a big year coming and that’ll be it.”
But in late 2023, White announced he was going back on the road. In addition to his stand-up success, White is also a bestselling author. His book, “I Had the Right to Remain Silent… But I Didn’t Have the Ability,” offers a glimpse into his signature humor in print, showcasing his sharp observational style and candid storytelling.
White has also had notable roles in several films, including “Horrible Bosses,” “Sex and the City 2” and “Jayne Mansfield’s Car” as well as a standout performance in Cameron Crowe’s Showtime series “Roadies.”
