TIFTON — Viral comedy sensation Andy Gross will be bringing a mix of magic, laughs, and mind-boggling illusions to Tifton later this month.

The comedian is set to make at stop by the Friendly City along his “Are You Kidding Me?” tour to perform live at the Tift Theatre May 17, where he’s eager to leave local residents amazed, ecstatic, and laughing their socks off.

A man of many talents and boasting quite a storied career, Gross operated as a professional racquetball player for some time, practicing magic, comedy, and ventriloquism as a hobby, before leaning into entertainment as a full career once the sport began falling out of popularity. Since then, he’s been performing gutbusting jokes, stunning magic tricks, and impressive ventriloquism acts across the country for over twenty-five years.

Those interested in his upcoming performance can expect to see him show off these skills and more when he takes the stage and might even have a chance to get involved with the show through plenty of audience participation.

Gross has asserted that the show will be family friendly and that anyone can come out to the theatre and enjoy it.

The live show will begin at 7 p.m., with doors opening at 6. Tickets may be purchased for $40 general admission and $30 for seniors and children by visiting purplepass.com/tifttheatreandygross. For more information, contact (229)-386-5150.
