Bill Engvall to Appear at EPC

The Effingham Performance Center announced a show has been added to the 2021-22 Season.

Comedian Bill Engvall will be performing his farewell tour “Here’s Your Sign – It’s Finally Time” at The EPC on Friday, April 8 at 7 p.m. The show is sponsored by Joe’s Pizza & Pasta.

This will be Engvall’s final tour, as he had announced his upcoming retirement last month. Engvall will hang up his microphone and stop touring after over 40 years in the entertainment industry, where he has succeeded as a comedian, actor and author.

“When we learned that Bill Engvall would be going out one more time before retiring, we knew we wanted one of the stops on his tour to be in Effingham,” said Kim Jansen, executive director of the performance center. “Our patrons love the Blue Collar comedians, and Bill Engvall is no exception. It is going to be a great show.”

Bill Engvall, who is a Grammy-nominated and multi-platinum selling recording artist, is best know for his “Here’s Your Sign” routine. He also was part of the Blue Collar Comedy group that included Jeff Foxworthy, Larry the Cable Guy, and Ron White. Most recently, he appeared with Foxworthy and Larry the Cable Guy on the “Them Idiots Whirled Tour.”  He also appears as Rev. Paul on Tim Allen’s “Last Man Standing” and was a contestant on ABC’s “Dancing with The Stars.”
