Reep
and Wymer set to take the stage at the
High Point Theatre on Friday, September
23
"High Point, North Carolina – A native of nearby Hickory, North
Carolina, Jon Reep has never forgotten his roots. In fact, they’re one of his
main sources of material. His unique blend of cleverly crafted characters and
witty writing makes him a hit in comedy clubs around the country. MollyAnn
Wymer has become an internet sensation with her video clips on “Drama-mine” and
“Protection Guns.” An evening of laughter, enlightenment and just plain
silliness will ensue when the pair takes the High Point Theatre stage on
Fri., Sept. 23. Show starts at 8 PM.
A 1997 graduate of NC State, Reep’s
talents earned him a win in season five of NBC’s “Last Comic Standing,”
nationwide fame as the Dodge Ram “Hemi Guy,” numerous appearances at Comedy and
Arts Festivals, and on cable channel stand-up shows including TBS' “Pit
Stop Comedy”, NBC's “Late Friday”,
CMT's “Comedy Club” and “Comedy
Stage”, Comedy Central’s “Premium Blend” or his own half-hour special,
“Comedy Central Presents: Jon Reep.” Reep has built a gut-busting routine out
of the comedic contradictions between his small-town upbringing and his current
life in Los Angeles, California; memories of cruising in his brother’s 1985
IROC Z-28 Camaro; the people you’ll meet at the county fair; and a host of
other fun takes on American life. 
Since creating her
first video in June 2014, Wymer, a preacher's daughter and single mother of
five children from Greensboro, North Carolina, has become a viral sensation on
social media, where her "dumb blond" humor addresses everything from
Krispy Kreme donuts to gun control. With
120,000 Facebook followers and five of her 20 YouTube videos hitting more than
22 million views, Wymer says she is amazed that about 70 percent of her fans just
don't understand that her "hick from the sticks" persona is all an
act.
“We are so fortunate to
be able to bring these two talented North Carolina natives to the Theatre for
an evening of sidesplitting hijinks,” says High Point Theatre Director David
Briggs. “With Jon’s zany characters and MollyAnn’s fresh and sassy approach to comedy,
the audience will never forget this laugh-out-loud entertainment experience.”
Tickets are $30-$45, available online at www.highpointtheatre.com or through the Theatre box office by calling (336) 887-3001.
