Oak Grove, KY – A&S All Support held a comedy fundraiser at the Valor Hall Conference and Event Center in Oak Grove, Ky on Saturday night. The show featured Clarksville Native Big John Richardson and the Queen of Southern Sass, comedian Etta May.
“Big John” John Richardson has been a comedian for 10 years, and specializes in what he calls, “Clean Comedy for Dirty Minds.” Richardson was born the third of five children and uses his sense of humor to deal with situations he encounters in life. One of his funniest numbers involves parental discipline, “I brought you into this world, I can take you out of it!”
Etta May has been described as “Minnie Pearl with a migraine, and she lived up to this billing as kept the crowd rolling in laughter. In one number she talks about gaining weight as you age and she observed “You know you’re getting fat when you sit in the bathtub and the water in the toilet rises!” Born and raised in Bald Knob, Arkansas, Etta May grew up alongside nine older brothers, who referred to their baby sister as “the human sacrifice.” In fact, Etta May’s parents – her father, a potpourri farmer, and her mother, bedridden by constant childbearing, did not realize Etta May was a girl until she required a training bra.
The event raised funds for A&S All Support which was founded with the belief that all people with a disability have the right to work if they choose to. Over the past 4 years, they have been dedicated to bridging the employment gap for individuals with disabilities. A&S All Support works closely with our local business community to secure employment opportunities for our clients with disabilities.
