Engvall to perform at Orange Peel

Wednesday, August 2, 2006

Blue Collar Comedy Tour star Bill Engvall will perform at Oklahoma State University’s Orange Peel on Sept. 30.

Engvall is a comedian, actor and author. He starred with Jeff Foxworth and Larry the Cable Guy in the sketch comedy show "Blue Collar TV" and the film "Blue Collar Comedy Tour: The Movie" based on their successful concert tour.

Engvall wrote the book “Here’s Your Sign” based on his stand-up comedy and his first album "Here’s Your Sign" has been certified platinum, selling more than one million copies.

His stand-up comedy will be a perfect addition to the show, according to Orange Peel executives. Also performing at Orange Peel this year is Grammy Award winner Alan Jackson.

Orange Peel celebrates the pride, spirit and tradition of OSU with a pep rally prior to the concert. This year, Orange Peel is partnering with Clear Channel Communications, and in its 11th year it is one of the largest student-produced concerts in the nation.

Orange Peel will be held at Boone Pickens Stadium. Tickets are currently on sale and can be bought online, by phone or at IBC Bank locations statewide. Tickets are priced at $28 for general admission, $38 for reserved and $58 for premium reserved or field seating.
