Southern Momma & Friends

Bang Productions presents the Southern Momma & Friends Comedy Tour featuring Comedians Red Squirrel and Gary Cargal hosted by Robin Phoenix.

Originally from and still residing in Alabama, Darren Knight is the fastest-rising comedian in American History. Darren is one of the biggest stars in southern comedy, with a massive online following across multiple social media platforms of over 4 million worldwide and was named one of “10 Comics to Watch” by Variety Magazine.

His character, Southern Momma, became a household name due to his hilarious viral content, which led to his headlining a nationwide comedy tour. Raised by his southern mother, Southern Momma is wildly relatable to his followers yet hysterically entertaining for everyone. When Darren isn't touring, he resides in rural Alabama with unique hobbies. Along with creating viral videos, this consummate host lives a rockstar lifestyle by throwing lavish parties on his historic property. Darren is an avian expert, and his property is home to a variety of birds. Both on and offstage, Darren's energy and audacious humor brings laughter to anyone surrounding him.

Comedian Red Squirrel has been entertaining nationally for over 11 years with her country twang and out-of-control energetic stage presence. She’s performed at the Golden Nugget, The Ryman, Choctaw Casino, Imperial Palace Casino, and The Majestic, to name a few. As a formerelementary school teacher in Alabama for over 27 years, it's hard to give up her former profession. Red Squirrel’s audience is now the students, and the subject matter is adult-rated. Her twist on personal subjects involving the relationships between men and women is hilariously relatable. Thankfully her husband, Phil, is a lawyer who helps to keep her grounded, out of jail, and not considered employable at the strip club.

Comedian Gary Cargal is everyone’s Southern Dad or Grandpa who brings a good, stiff drink to the comedy world. Gary’s laudable stage performance based on his wife and two sons has been touring nationally for six years.

Originally from Ohio, Robin “Phoenix” Johnson is the hardest-working comedian in comedy. After serving over 20 years in the Army, Robin’s new mission is healing people, organizations, and communities through Heal*arious Comedy for Mental Health with her company Best Medicine Brigade. She was voted Charleston’s Best Comedian in 2022.
