WellRED comedy tour: Akron (during the RNC lunacy!)

WellRED comedy tour: Akron (during the RNC lunacy!)

at Musica

You’ve laughed along with Trae Crowder’s “Liberal Redneck” videos on Facebook and you’ve watched his interview on MSNBC and profile by Fusion, but now see what happens in person when he and his wellRED buddies Drew Morgan and Corey Ryan Forrester do their “Sundy Best” on a Saturday night in Akron on July 16, the eve of the Republican National Convention in Cleveland.

The show starts at 7 pm and doors open at 6:30 pm with a couple of surprises lining up too. Tickets are just $20 and seating is limited. These guys keep selling out shows all over — for good reason — and so consider this fair warning: We expect them to do the same in Akron because you can’t see them perform within 300 miles of here, unless you plan to wait a while.

Brought to you by our friends at The Devil Strip and Unbox Akron.

Trae Crowder: @traecrowder
Recently earning national attention (or notoriety, depending on your viewpoint) for his “Liberal Redneck” series of viral videos, Trae Crowder has been performing his particular brand of Southern-fried intellectual comedy in the Southeast and beyond for the past six years. Trae is also a writer and is currently a member of NBC Universal’s Talent Infusion Program after being invited to their prestigious Late Night Writer’s Workshop in 2015.

Drew Morgan: @averagedrew
Hailing from rural East Tennessee, Drew draws on his experiences as a small-town son of a preacher man who has lived in Africa, Australia, Miami, Boston, and (currently) New York City. Weaving his stories together with observations on culture, religion, and identity, he’s like Mark Twain on acid, or maybe just a confused Southerner pretending to have his shit together. He is a good dancer.

Corey Ryan Forrester (CoFo): @coreyfcomedy
Corey has been writing and performing stand up comedy since the age of sixteen – before he could legally work in a comedy club. His North Georgia roots have given Corey an affinity for Southern wit and storytelling. He may often wear a PBR hat, but don’t assume there is anything blue collar about him. CoFo has thoughts on everything from race to religion, politics and gender. He loves women and cheese. All dairy, actually.
