Iconic southern storyteller Landon Bryant, known as “Landon Talks,” is coming to the Bologna Performing Arts Center at Delta State University for a one-night pop-up event Friday, October 18th, 2024 at 7:00 PM to discuss everything from mules to vegetables while unpacking phrases like “Take to the Bed,” “I’d Have to Feel Better to Die,” and his personal story of going to school at Walmart High. Don’t miss this very special evening where all will be discussed…kindly, of course!
Landon Talks, a talented comedian from Laurel, Mississippi, delivers a fresh and hilarious take on stand-up comedy that’s sure to entertain and have the whole family laughing out loud. With nearly 500,000 Instagram followers, Landon’s opening lines of “Let’s Discuss…” lead to engaging and tongue-in-cheek assessments on some of the most popular (and obscure) Southern-“isms.” His videos have amassed millions of views across all major social media platforms, engendering witty and at times droll reflections on life in the Deep South. Landon comes to Delta State in the midst of a national comedy tour, with shows popping up throughout the southeast as well as in California improv comedy clubs.
Opening for Landon is comedian Tara Brown, an award-winning comedian who performs clean and family-friendly comedy across the country. CharlotteFive.com named her as one of “The Standup Comedians You Need to Know in Charlotte;” while Queen City Nerve named her as “Best Comedian” for 2019. She is the most recent winner of Jeanne Robertson’s “Comedy with Class” Humor Competition. Tara can be seen on the 2nd season of the television show “Stand Up Nashville” on the Circle Network; on Dry Bar Comedy; and on the high seas performing for Carnival Cruise Line.
