“Dr. Etta: Family Specialist” is a one-woman, show that is a hilarious heartfelt look at the breakdown of the American Family. “The family of the 21st century is deathly ill and I have the cure” Says Dr. Etta. “I decided I needed to set up my own therapy practice because Dr. Phil and Dr. Laura don’t know jack!”
No matter what your problem is, Dr. Etta has already had it - Real life. real problems. real prozac. The star of “The Southern Fried Chicks” has become a family specialist – with a family you’ll be so thankful is not yours.
Dr. Etta has made quite a name for herself in the comedy world. She was named Female Comic of the Year at the American Comedy Awards; performed at the Aspen Comedy Festival hosted by Jerry Seinfeld and starred in a CMT special Southern Fried Chicks; has been invited to perform at the 15th anniversary of The Comedy Story hosted by David Letterman and featured in the special Greats of Country Comedy hosted by Jeff Foxworthy.
With a make-up free face and a bandanna to cover her hair, Etta May is certainly a haggard beauty, who offers a different kind of comedy. With a sassy southern accent and the ability to get away with saying anything that flies into hermind, Etta May’s stand up provides a fun evening filled with belly laughs. She touches at the heart of what it means to be a middle class woman struggling to make her way in the world, and she does so with humor and cleverness that can make even the most stoic face crack a smile.
“Dr. Etta: Family Specialist” will take the stage at the Foundation Performing Arts Center on Friday, April 1 at 8:00 PM. Tickets are available for purchase online at www.FoundationShows.org, the venue box office or charge by phone at 828-286-9990. Tickets are $25.
