Does anyone know if this is the only time Paul Harris will be playing in Branson this year or will he be coming back?

I saw Paul Harris on Tuesday, the 17th. For the first 20 minutes he was alone on stage interacting with the audience and he kept everyone laughing so hard I could see most of the crowd wiping tears from their eyes. He is a master at capturing different accents and then has a storyline to go with each of them. He said while he is in Nashville he is working on his comedy routines and is touring around different comedy clubs. Next, he brought out Steve Wilkerson on dobro, Steve Wilkerson, Jr., on upright bass, and Bruce Huffman on fiddle. Paul picked up his guitar and they started in producing some great bluegrass picking and the vocal 3-part harmonizing was amazing. They played for just over 30 minutes and included some songs I haven't heard in years. Then the band left the stage and Paul continued with more comedy and audience interaction. Their was no intermission and by 9:15 the show was over. It was short but everyone was worn out from laughing so hard I don't know if they could have taken any more. It was great to see him in Branson again and I think he was sincere when he said he was happy to be back filling in for Clay Cooper. He said he still has his home here. When his wife finishes school in Nashville, who knows where he'll go.

By a show of hands, 80% of the audience had seen Paul's show before.

Thanks, Bob, for the great review re: Paul Harris! I've been wondering who would be with Paul on stage or if he would be doing a one-man show! Paul is our all-time favorite in Branson. We were hoping to make it down this week end in time to see him, but can't get there till Friday. By chance, did he tell how to find out where he's appearing in Nashville at the different comedy clubs? I haven't seen any info on his website! Thanks again for the info!

He didn't say anything specific about his schedule.
