Brett Butler’s Sassy Stand-Up Comedy at Gold Strike Casino
TUNICA, Miss. – With her quick wit and down-home style, comedian Brett Butler leaves audiences in stitches. Butler will display her unique approach to stand-up comedy, live from Gold Strike’s Millennium Theatre, Friday, June 10 at 9:00 p.m.
Performing comedy since 1967, Butler is best-known for her role as Grace Kelly in the ABC series “Grace Under Fire,” where she portrayed a recently divorced mother of three facing the perils of single parenthood.
Named for Hemingway’s Lady Brett Ashley from The Sun Also Rises, Butler was born in Alabama and raised in Georgia; the comedian that some have dubbed “a Southern Lenny Bruce” grew up alongside four sisters whom Butler calls “all brilliant and funny.” “We were poor, but my mother was cultured and left-wing -- just the thing they admire so much in the deep South,” recalls Butler, who performed her first comedy routine during a school pageant at the age of eight.
At nineteen Brett Butler endured a brief and turbulent marriage, divorcing after three years. On her own again, she waited tables at a honky tonk in Texas, where Open Mike Night became a welcome outlet. Two years and a thousand shows later Butler had honed her act to a razor-sharpness, and at the urging of fellow comedian and supporter Robert Klein, she loaded up her 1969 Grand Prix and drove to New York City. It was the first time Butler had ever left the South.
“I had all these years of Southern white guilt, and then I moved to New York and found that people are the same everywhere,” says Butler, who calls New York “my brave new world.” Butler’s act translated well to the New York stage, and within two years she was performing for Johnny Carson on “The Tonight Show,” returning a mere six months later. She appeared as a guest star or performer on more than 70 series and specials before landing her own one-woman show, the highly rated Showtime comedy special, “Brett Butler: The Child Ain’t Right.”
Butler continues to take her comedy act on the road, a road that on June 10 brings her to Gold Strike. Tickets for Butler’s performance are $25.00 and may be purchased by calling Gold Strike’s box office at 1.888.24K.PLAY or online at goldstrike.com. Gold Strike Casino Resort is located 15 minutes south of Memphis in Tunica, Miss.
