Nashville’s own Billy Wayne Davis has been tapped to join the Dirt Poor Comedy Tour line-up. Open auditions were held at comedy clubs across the country, and producers selected B.W. along with Dustin Chafin, Ricky Peardon, Big Kenny, Etta May and J. Scott Homan to perform at a show to be taped for television on March 20th & 21st in Knoxville, TN, at the Bijou Theater. If you’d like to see Billy Wayne perform right here in Nashville, he’s the middle act for Ralphie May at the Ryman on March 2nd @ 8 p.m.
The son of Terry Bradshaw and Dolly Parton, Billy Wayne Davis was born at Dollywood wearing a Cosby sweater and a full set of teeth. Having a tremendous lineage to live up to, he chose the only way out, stand up. Getting his start at Zanies Comedy Showplace in Nashville, TN, he has had the honor of working with Colin Quinn, Kathleen Madigan, Bruce Bruce, Earthquake, Lisa Lampanelli, Louis CK ,and the late Mitch Hedberg. He has since been on the road with Ralphie May, featuring for the headliner on stages like the Columbus FunnyBone, the Miami Improv, The Punchline in Atlanta, Seattle’s Moore Theater, The Tennessee Theater in Knoxville, and The Laff Stop in Houston, TX. With an approach that is laid back with a bite, Billy Wayne waxes philosophic about college life, homophobes and why his first born will be named after garnish. Audiences love his quick wit and southern drawl, and always leave wanting more.
