Ease those winter blues with laughter
From Turner Field to the
Gwinnett Arena, there’s a
lot of funny business going
on through the entire
month.
Ringling Bros, and
Bamum & Bailey presents
Bamum’s Funundrum
starting at Philips Arena,
where it will run from
Thursday to Feb. 21.
The show will then
move to the Gwinnett
Arena for Feb. 24-27.
They’ve got animals and
acrobats, unicycles and
motorcycles and, of
course, more than a dozen
clowns.
And when 1 say animals,
we’re talking zebras,
tigers, horses, goats and
llamas.
As the saying goes, go
big or go home. And since
1870, when P.T. Bamum
first debuted with his grand
traveling museum,
menagerie, caravan and
circus, going home has
never been an option.
Bamum joined forces
with James A. Bailey in
1881, w hen the duo pre¬
sented “the greatest show
on Earth.”
The Ringling Bros.
Circus joined the fun in

group has entertained fam¬
ilies across the country.
It’s been a much shorter
history for UniverSoul
Circus, which will run
through Feb. 27 at Turner
Field.
It was 1994 when Cedric
Walker wanted to turn the
traditional circus into “hip
hop under the big top.”
The circus has grown
ever since, now touring
more than 32 cities with
the 75-member crew of
trapeze daredevils, stilt
walkers, break dancers and
clowns.
Looking for some

Two comedians heading
to the Punchline and

may do the trick.
First up, Larry Miller is
at the Punchline. He’s one

A man who has seem¬

heading back to stand-up

I’ve never seen him live,
but he’s got a knack for
storytelling and good tim

On the other hand. Rich
Vos does not tell stories.
Vos, who will appear at
Funny Farm, is legendary
for his quick-hit one-liners.
He was on the first sea-

While he cleaned up for
TV, be warned, his live act
features much profanity.
He’s not what I’d call a
family comedian, but the
man can tell a joke. He’s
raunchy and sharp and has
gone off script during his
shows.

marriage at 12:30 p.m.

The bride is the

The groom is the son
of Melodie and Calvin
Burger of Chatsworth.
A rehearsal dinner
was given by the
groom’s family Dec. 18
few years back when there
was some drunk woman in
the crowd.
Apparently, because it
was her birthday, she felt
she could have a one-on
one shouting match with
the comedian. Instead of
letting security haul her to
a taxi, Vos decided to take
on the challenge.
He won by a landslide
and, in so doing, proved
he doesn’t need a pen and
paper to write good come¬
dy.

A reception was
given by the bride’s
