 Comedian Ed Bassmaster is set to entertain Popful Kentucky at the Appalachian Center for the Arts. I started on YouTube back in 06 doing hidden camera pranks. I was the first prankster on YouTube. I started going on the road doing live shows about four years ago, right before COVID hit, and then I was sidetracked for a while. And it's kind of been like off and on, hasn't been like real steady. So this is like unofficially the last tour and we're winding it up with Tennessee and Kentucky and Missouri. Super excited. I know a lot of people have been hit me up in those areas to come through. When my baby was born, it was magical. And as she grew, having a hospital close to home with advanced healthcare and specialized physicians being there along the journey was important. And along that journey, many special doctors touched our lives. And then one day, my baby became a woman and a mother herself. Pikeville Medical Center caring for every moment in life. With an impressive following of nearly three million subscribers on YouTube, Bassmaster's live performance promises to be an unforgettable experience. Well, I take the show that I do on YouTube on the stage, which is, you know, different characters. I come out as myself and open the show, you know, sort of, it has like a lineup of me and then usually like three to four other characters, sometimes more depending where and how much time we have. Unlocked traditional comedy routines, Bassmaster keeps each show fresh and exciting by incorporating exclusive content filmed in each city he visits. It's fun. It's, you know, nothing I'm doing up there is I'm not like a mean spirited comic. So I'm not up there like angry or, you know, making people feel uncomfortable. It's a good time. We always have a good time. We always have a good show. We always have a fun time. Couple of people that are a little too drunk don't end up getting thrown out, but I hope to see y'all there. The show is scheduled for Friday, August 25th, starting at 7 p.m. To purchase tickets, visit theapparts.org. Reporting for Mountain Top News, I'm Ethan Miller.
