Chad Prather — 8 p.m. February 15
Chad Prather
Prather is known for his way with words. He is a comedian, armchair philosopher, musician, and observational humorist. He is often referred to as “the modern day Will Rogers.” He is a fast-talking combination of Lewis Grizzard and Jeff Foxworthy.
Prather was entertaining audiences on television as early as two years old. The desire to be onstage started early. He began acting at the age of six and by the age of 20 he was traveling all over the world – using his communication skills to influence international leaders with humor and inspiration. Back home in America as “the preacher that makes everyone laugh” he was leading churches and non-profit organizations. Eventually Prather’s communication skills opened doors for him to move into the corporate arena of motivational speaking and writing.
Prather has made numerous appearances on Fox News, CNN, A&E, The Blaze, MSN, and has been featured in magazines from Southern Living to Nash Country Weekly. He is the host of Ride TV’s It’s My Backyard. And just recently finished his wildly successful 2016 Kings of Cowtown Comedy Tour. Prather has sold-out theaters all over America and is one of the country’s fastest rising and talked about comedians and entertainers. Tickets start at $28.
The Stiefel Theatre box office is open noon-5 p.m. Monday-Friday and at 5 p.m. on weekend show days. Call or stop by the Stiefel to buy direct 785-827-1998. You also can get tickets on-line at stiefeltheatre.org.
