Bill Engvall – Here’s Your Sign Live

Bill Engvall has sold more than two million comedy albums, including the certified-platinum Here’s Your Sign. He has released six comedy CDs, starred in several television series and written the book You Don’t Have To Be Dumb To Be Stupid. He was one of the headliners on the hugely successful Blue Collar Comedy Tour and starred in the follow-up hit film. Captured live in this dynamic stand-up performance, Engvall is at his smart-talking, sidesplitting best.

Bill Engvall mines one of the classic veins of comedy–family life–on Bill Engvall: Here’s Your Sign Live, and comes up with some fresh, funny spin on old gags. His general recommendation for surviving marriage: Relinquish power to wives; that way, one gets to be just a “guy” instead of nominal head of the household. One of the funniest bits concerns linkage of real and imaginary marital crimes. “‘If you’re lying to me about smoking,'” Engvall quotes his suspicious spouse, “‘how do I know you’re not sleeping with other women?’ Not even Evel Knievel could have made that leap.” On keeping sex fun after 21 years of domestic bliss: “As soon as I try something new, she’s screaming, ‘Where’d you learn that?!'” Engvall has some choice stuff about his kids, too, including a good story about traveling cross-country with his teenage son and stumbling into topless steakhouses. –Tom Keogh
