Two-time “Comedy Magician of the Year,” Chipper Lowell, continues to be one of the top favorites among theater-goers, young and old! His original blend of side-splitting comedy, highly original magic, mentalism, hilarious audience interaction, and more, has been entertaining audiences for the last 25+ years!
Chipper has appeared multiple times on The Tonight Show, The Disney Channel, America’s Funniest People!, Street Magic, Show Me the Funny!, Don’t Blink!, That’s Incredible, America’s Funniest People, Everybody’s Talking, two Christmas Magic! specials, as well as 50+ guest appearances on all ten seasons of the CW’s hit series: Masters of Illusion. Described by the press as a “Cyclone of high-energy wit & laughs, and jaw-dropping magic!”, Chipper has performed all over the world, including the U.S., Canada, Mexico, England, Malaysia, Bahamas, Australia, and New Zealand.
Chipper most recently received the prestigious Senator Crandall Award for “Excellence in Comedy” and was nominated three times in the past 8 years for “Stage Magician of the Year!” by the Academy of Magical Arts (aka The Magic Castle in Los Angeles). He was also named as one of the “Top Funniest Magicians” performing today by Magic Magazine and honored with “Specialty Act of the Year!” from the Tahoe Daily Tribune and the Sacramento Bee. In addition to his solo tour dates of his critically-acclaimed solo show – The Chipper Experience! – Where Comedy & Magic Collide! – he has starred in several international stage productions and touring companies, including The Illusionists, Unbelievable!, The HITS!, Moon River & Me, Masters of Illusion – LIVE!, and Circus 1903.
Audiences and critics alike continue to rave about his hilarious onstage antics. Chipper’s show is a nonstop, roller coaster of original magic, mentalism, bizarre juggling stunts, and edgy yet corporate-clean comedy, peppered with rapid-fire ad-libs, improv, and audience participation. Truly a laugh-filled and memorable experience of absolute fun for all!
Almost 50 years ago — on July 6, 1974 — Garrison Keillor hosted the first broadcast of A Prairie Home Companion, and the perennially popular weekly radio show remained on the air until July of 2016, with its music, comedy sketches, and accounts of life in tiny Lake Wobegon (where the women are strong, the men are good-looking, and the children are all above average). Since the show ended, the author and humorist has continued to take the stage at venues nationwide — much to the delight of legions of fans.
In the coming months, Keillor takes A Prairie Home Companion’s 50th Anniversary Tour across the U.S. Joining Keillor are charming singer-actor Christine DiGiallonardo, dazzling vocalist Heather Masse, the ever-popular Royal Academy of Actors (Tim Russell, Sue Scott, and sound-effects wizard Fred Newman), music director/keyboardist Richard Dworsky, and others to be announced.
Born in 1942 in Anoka, Minnesota, Garrison Keillor developed a love of writing in childhood. “I started out with a No. 2 pencil and pads of paper, then acquired an Underwood manual typewriter with a faint F and a misshapen O,” he says. Five years after getting a job in public radio “doing the 6 a.m. shift Monday to Friday, because nobody else wanted to get up so early,” he wrote a piece for The New Yorker about the Grand Ole Opry and got the idea to launch A Prairie Home Companion.
These days, his in-person humor-filled shows are a treat for folks young and not-so-young. He has written dozens of books —including novels, a book of sonnets, a collection of limericks, a memoir, a political homily, and most recently, Cheerfulness. His biweekly online column can be found on Substack.
Come join us and our selection of talented Comedians and Judges for an evening of guaranteed laughs!
Reggie Black, our comedic host, and the 1800 Drayton team will be providing a unique and fun experience right here in Spartanburg. You will be a part of the show so come on down and vote for your favorite act!

Rodney Carrington on Tour
One of America’s most popular comedians and an actor and author to boot, Rodney Carrington shows just what kind of good times can happen when country meets comedy.
Since the breakthrough success of his first major-label release Hangin’ with Rodney in 1998, Carrington has been a favorite of audiences all over the world thanks to his enjoyably raucous take on the best things in life, starting with whatever’s in the bottle in front of him. With signature songs like “Just One Beer,” “Wish She Would Have Left Quicker” and “Put Your Clothes Back On,” he proves that some jokes just go better when combined with the twang and swagger of a country tune.
In addition to being one of America’s Top 10 highest-grossing comedians, Carrington headlined his own ABC sitcom with Rodney and co-starred with Toby Keith in the feature film Beer For My Horses. In 2017, his special Here Comes The Truth brought his blue-collar brand of stand-up and musical comedy to Netflix. His 2020 tour of venues across the U.S. and Canada follows the release of his latest album, Get Em Out, which hit No. 1 on the iTunes comedy chart.
Rodney Carrington Background
Rodney Carrington has been providing proudly blue-collar audiences something to laugh about ever since his earliest days as a performer at local venues and on radio shows in his native Texas in the ‘90s.
After years of touring nationally, Carrington’s breakthrough came with the 1998 release of Hangin’ With Rodney, a CD that introduced listeners to the combination of comedy and country music that fast became his trademark. In 2000, he scored his first Top 20 album on Billboard’s country chart with Morning Wood, an equally raucous collection that included such fan favorites as “A Dozen Roses” and “Older Women.”
Along with earning platinum sales as a recording artist, Carrington’s achievements include starring in the ABC sitcom Rodney (2004-2006) and co-writing and co-starring with superstar Toby Keith in the feature film Beer For My Horses (2008). In 2007, he made the jump to the publishing world with his first book, Coming Clean. His Netflix special Here Comes the Truth debuted in 2017. Get Em Out, his eighth comedy album, was released in 2019.
