JEFF DUNHAM TO HEADLINE FIRST YELL 2009
The Texas Aggie Yell Leaders are excited to announce that Jeff Dunham will be the headline entertainer for First Yell 2009. The 11th annual event will be held on Friday, September 4, 2009 at 8:00 p.m. in Reed Arena. In keeping with the First Yell tradition, the show will open with performances by some of the top student performers on campus.
The engine that drives Jeff Dunham is the sidesplitting roll in the aisles humor of Dunham and the comedic cast of characters he has created like Walter the grumpy retiree, Bubba J, Peanut, Jose Jalepeno and Achmed the Dead Terrorist. So when his fellow comic and friend Jay Leno says, “Jeff Dunham really is the best there is,” it’s no understatement indeed.
Dunham has proven himself a true entertainer over the last year, setting sales and TV ratings records, topping charts, consistently selling out shows, and most of all, keeping North America and the rest of the world laughing heartily with his sharp yet also humane and lovable humor. His DVD and CD sales, TV ratings, internet presence, live performance draw and merchandise sales don’t just rival those of any other comic but of any marquee talent overall, and the signs all argue well for even further successes in the year to come.
