January 7, 2014

Friday, Jan. 24

Tickets: 903-434-8181

It's time to laugh away the winter blues at Northeast Texas Community 91��Ƭ †College! Sinbad, of television and standup comedy fame, will perform live 91��Ƭ †at the Whatley Center for the Performing Arts on Friday, Jan. 24 at 7 p.m.

91��Ƭ † 91��Ƭ † 91��Ƭ † 91��Ƭ †Sinbad is sponsored by Guaranty Bond Bank. Tickets are $50 for rows A-B, 91��Ƭ †$35 for rows C-K, and $30 for rows L-O (no group discounts).

91��Ƭ † 91��Ƭ † 91��Ƭ † 91��Ƭ †Actor and Comedian Sinbad arrived on the comedy scene with a "hit 'em in 91��Ƭ †the face" style of comedy that has kept audiences laughing in the aisles 91��Ƭ †for over the past two decades. He freely admits that he doesn't knows any

jokes, except for the ones that his dad told him "back in the day". Sinbad 91��Ƭ †tells stories, and boy does he tell stories! The basis of his humor comes 91��Ƭ †from everyone he meets, everything he's seen, and everything heπs done.

91��Ƭ † 91��Ƭ † 91��Ƭ † 91��Ƭ †Ranked by Comedy Central as one of the top 100 standup comedians of all 91��Ƭ †time, Sinbad has built a loyal following by taking audiences' painful 91��Ƭ †trials or embarassing tribulations of day-by-day life, throwing them back 91��Ƭ †in their faces, and causing an uproar of comedic hysteria. He can also 91��Ƭ †make it sound profound without being profane. Not that he's any kind of 91��Ƭ †choirboy, but by being the son of a preacher man he decided to keep his 91��Ƭ †comedy clean after his father attended one of his early performances.

91��Ƭ † 91��Ƭ † 91��Ƭ † 91��Ƭ †"We are very excited to offer Sinbad's standup comedy performance at the 91��Ƭ †Whatley Center. Many of us remember him fondly from 90s sitcoms and comedy 91��Ƭ †specials, and he is just as funny today as he was back then!" Carolyn 91��Ƭ †Franks, Director of the Whatley Center, said.

91��Ƭ † 91��Ƭ † 91��Ƭ † 91��Ƭ †Sinbad is internationally known for his starring appearances in hit movies 91��Ƭ †like "Jingle All the Way," playing opposite Arnold Schwarzenegger; "Houseguest" co-starring the late Phil Hartman, and letπs not forget his 91��Ƭ †film debut "Necessary Roughness", where he did none of his own stunts! He 91��Ƭ †has starred in the television sitcom "A Different World" as well as his 91��Ƭ †own series, "The Sinbad Show". 91��Ƭ †Entertainment mogul Quincy Jones sought out 91��Ƭ †Sinbad to host UPN's first late night talk show, "Vibe". He also recently 91��Ƭ †appeared as a recurring guest star on the Showtime Original Series 91��Ƭ †"Resurrection Blvd."

91��Ƭ † 91��Ƭ † 91��Ƭ † 91��Ƭ †Sinbad has appeared on the FX Television series "It's Always Sunny in 91��Ƭ †Philadelphia." Also, his long awaited stand-up special aired on Comedy 91��Ƭ †Central this past February. Most recently, Sinbad was seen in the third 91��Ƭ †season of NBCπs Celebrity Apprentice.

91��Ƭ † 91��Ƭ † 91��Ƭ † 91��Ƭ †According to Franks, the show will be "PG" and should be appropriate for 91��Ƭ †most ages. Call the Whatley Center Box Office at 903-434-8181 to reserve 91��Ƭ †your tickets today. Visit to learn more about this 91��Ƭ †and other upcoming Whatley Center events.
