Carol Burnett Brings Solo Performance to Providence

Elite Entertainment Inc. announced that Legendary Comedian and Actress, Carol Burnett will perform at Providence Performing Arts Center on Saturday, October 19, 2019 at 7:30 pm.

Tickets go on-sale to the public on Saturday, May 4 at 10am at www.ppacri.org, the PPAC Box Office, or Charge by Phone (401) 421-2787.

After a sold-out 2016 engagement, Carol returns to Providence by overwhelming demand. During "An Evening of Laughter and Reflection," Burnett will take questions from the audience and show video clips from her shows in a format that harkens back to the legendary openings of 'The Carol Burnett Show' where her studio audience had an unfiltered opportunity to engage Carol with questions and receive spontaneous answers. "I love the spontaneity of these evenings," said Carol. "I never know what anyone is going to ask, or say, or do, so it keeps me on my toes!"

Carol Burnett, award-winning actress and best-selling author, is widely recognized by the public and her peers for her work on stage and screen, most notably The Carol Burnett Show. Named in 2007 by TIME magazine as one of "100 Best Television Shows of All Time," The Carol Burnett Show ran for 11 years, averaged 30 million viewers per week, and received 25 Emmy Awards, making it one of the most honored shows in television history. But it is Ms. Burnett's artistic brilliance, her respect and appreciation of her fans, and her graciousness, integrity, warmth, and humor on and off screen that have made her one of the most beloved performers in entertainment and one of the most admired women in America. As a highly acclaimed actress, Ms. Burnett has been honored with Emmys, Golden Globes, People's Choice Awards, the Horatio Alger Award, an Ace Award, and the Peabody.
