Outback Presents, in cooperation with The Robinson Grand Performing Arts Center, is bringing blue collar comedian Rodney Carrington to downtown Clarksburg on Friday, Jan. 20, 2023, at the historic Robinson Grand Performing Arts Center.

 

Carrington is a multi-talented comedian, actor, singer, and writer playing sold-out shows around the world as one of the Top 10 highest-grossing touring comedians for the past two decades. A platinum-recording artist, Rodney’s recorded eight major record label comedy albums, followed by three albums on his own record label, Laughter’s Good Records. Rodney is fresh off the release of his latest album, Get Em Out, (released 2019) which hit #1 on iTunes. His album Here Comes the Truth (released 2017) climbed to #3 on the comedy charts, accruing tens of millions of streams on Spotify and even spawned a Netflix special.

 

“We couldn’t be more excited to have Rodney Carrington headed to Clarksburg,” said Jason A. Young, the Robinson Grand’s Program Manager. “We are also very excited to be working with Outback Presents, another wonderful promoter with whom we hope to build a wonderful relationship.”

 

Over the years, he’s starred in his own TV sitcom, Rodney, which ran for two seasons on ABC, co-wrote and co-starred with Toby Keith in the feature film, Beer for My Horses, which won the Tex Ritter Award from the ACM, and starred in his own Netflix special Here Comes The Truth. Rodney’s also appeared on countless other TV shows, including the ACA (American Country Awards), hosting the American Country New Year’s Eve Live show on FOX, and won “Supporting Character of the Year” from the CMT Music Video Awards for his appearance on Trace Adkins’ music video “I Got My Game On.”

 

“Rodney Carrington’s show is definitely for mature audiences only,” said Young. “But if you are up for a little blue in your comedy, you are in for a great night.”
