Tall Tales Goes Classy with Dinner & Comedy at Refinery Hill on Thursday, February 20, 2020

Tall Tales is getting a bit classy on February 20, 2020, with a live stand-up comedy show and dinner at Refinery Hill in McDonough, Georgia.  With an evening of dinner, drinks, and comedy by some of the nations funniest touring acts, you do not want to miss this event.

Tickets are on sale now HERE.

Headliner: Roy Haber
Born In Israel, Roy had your average beginning. Then, as if the confusion of his roots wouldn’t eventually turn this little fella into a skewed man, his parents pulled a mean trick, deciding to raise him in Kentucky.

Whether it’s making fun of his height (5’2), tackling personal issues, slamming an analytical magnifying glass on world events and society in general, or sharing a story from his travels – Roy’s comedy is live, direct, and playfully honest.

Fan’s rave of his wit, and all who have seen him appreciate his will to speak his mind. Though he often leads his audience to the very edge, he shows great tact in realizing where it is and attempts to tread past the threshold only when necessary and never for the cheap, yet often sought-after, “shock value” laugh. His set material focuses on self-deprecation, hypocrisy in politics (is that redundant?), double standards in culture, and his ability for story telling of topics that all audience members can enjoy. Not only will Roy’s show have you doubled over with laughter, but it will also undoubtedly move you to thought and reason. No, really.

Roy has performed throughout the USA and Canada, and for the United States troops, both abroad and on U.S. soil. He’s shared the stage with the likes of Jim Breuer, Tommy Davidson, Don Rickles, Kevin Nealon, Iliza Shlesinger, Tom Arnold, Tim Wilson, Tom Green, and many more. He was also a semi finalist in the prestigious International San Francisco Comedy Competition (past competitors include: Robin Williams, Ellen DeGeneres, Sinbad and Dana Carvey, to name a few). He was also recently a participant in the San Luis Obispo (SLO) Comedy Festival. So, come on out to the show, warm up your face muscles, and prepare your tear ducts for an evening of hilarity. You’ll be sure to have BIG fun with this little dude! (courtesy of http://royscomedy.com/biography)

Featuring: Devon Gollinge
Devon first began his comedy career in his hometown of Myrtle Beach, SC, in 2010. He gained valuable experience working for a year as the house emcee in a local club. In 2012, Devon moved to Atlanta to take advantage of the growing comedy scene, in which he has become a favorite among both his peers and audience members.

In 2014, Devon performed in the Accidental Comedy Festival in Cleveland and the Scruffy City Comedy Festival in Knoxville, TN. 2017 found Devon at the first annual Cola Comedy Con in South Carolina, and 2018 he was a performer in the 9th annual Cape Fear Comedy Festival. He also performs at various clubs throughout the country. Likable and quick-witted, much of Devon’s comedy explores what it’s like growing up as a self-proclaimed nerdy introvert who never quite fit in. Fortunately, college was where our lonely little caterpillar broke out of his cocoon and developed a personality. Whether looking back on his video game addiction or detailing his sexual misadventures, Devon has been described as a “smart storyteller.” Simply put, Devon is hilarious, and you’re missing out if you haven’t seen his show.

Host: Tim Gonzalez
A comedy veteran, Tim Gonzalez combines random life experiences from his travels and habitations across the U.S. into a style of humor that sneaks across social, racial, and class borders.

His comedic perspective is a witty look at everyday life taken from his thoughtful observations as a “terrible excuses for a Mexican Jesus” and interactions with people across all lots of life—spanning from redneck trailer-dwellers to unemployed minorities and everyone in between.

Tim has the unique ability to relate to his audience, regardless of their age, ethnicity, or social standing, and include them in his performance. His insightful and entertaining inquiries of the ever-present media outlets are audience favorites in venues throughout the Southeast, where he has been performing over the past 9 years.

Check Tim out in comedy clubs, festivals, charity events or spend an evening at one of his “Tall Tales” events that mix stand-up comedy from touring comedians with road stories from celebrities.

General admission tickets $20.00
All tickets include dinner buffet and dessert bar.

Take 2: Tall Tales Host Tim Gonzalez and Wrestling Legend Raven Discuss ECW, Road Stories, and the Tall Tales Brand

Part two of Wrestlezone’s interview with former WCW/ECW/TNA/WWE superstar Raven and creator and host of Tall Tales, Tim Gonzalez.

From Wrestlezone:

Wrestling legend Raven recently spoke to WrestleZone’s Kevin Kellam on a variety of professional wrestling topics while promoting his appearance with comedian Tim Gonzalez and fellow wrestling veteran Johnny Swinger tonight.

The group will be sharing TALL TALES live at Doc Holiday’s Saloon in Griffin, GA on Thursday, May 30. Proceeds will benefit Operation Lunchbox, which helps children in need get extra meals around their school lunches.

Is there a road story that people always ask to hear about?

“The slip-n-slide. There’s one with a naked slip-n-slide. In a nutshell, [Perry] Saturn and I and two strippers—all four of us naked—make a homemade slip-n-slide in the hallway of a hotel—motel? hotel, motel, something in between. But we slip-n-slided and there were a lot more shenanigans involved, but suffice to say we got thrown out of the hotel for it.”

How many hotels have you been thrown out of?

“Not that many. I’m pretty good about getting thrown out. I am still currently banned for life from National Car Rental.

I didn’t do anything. The lady tried to charge me for the car—or a bill that was already paid, I forget, this is 25 years ago—but suffice to say we got into a [war] of words, I used a ‘C’ word I believe, and she called headquarters and had me banned for life.”

What is it about being ‘edgy’ in wrestling that makes a lasting impression?

“ECW is because it was so influential. Bob Dylan is still talked about today because he was so influential, same with The Beatles, same with The Rolling Stones. [ECW] also went into legendary status because it is no more, so there’s always [that feeling of] ‘we missed it’ or caught a moment in time. People that watch Game Of Thrones—let’s say they don’t make another [series on that level]—people are still going to have that touchstone, like Seinfeld. Because things end, they have more resonance and meaning.”

Tall Tales’ Creator Timothy Gonzalez and WCW/ECW/TNA/WWE Legend RAVEN Join Wrestlezone’s Kevin Kellam to Discuss AEW, Comedy, and Tall Tales

Tall Tales’ creator and host, comedian Timothy Gonzalez, recently sat down with Tall Tales headliner and former WCW/ECW/TNA/WWE superstar Raven to discuss AEW, comedy, and the Tall Tales show with Wrestlezone.

From Wrestlezone:

“Wrestling legend Raven recently spoke to WrestleZone’s Kevin Kellam on a variety of professional wrestling topics. Raven was asked if the business is starting to feel how it used to during his heyday given all the current big promotions and groups around. He also discussed All Elite Wrestling (AEW) and what the promotion has that separates them from the pack, and what other promotions are lacking.

Does the business feel like it used to during his heyday with all of the current big promotions and groups around:

“I think it will once AEW gets on TV. It hadn’t, without somebody else having the national slot on a powerhouse station, it was never going to be the same. But now with AEW going on TNT, I think it’s really going to crank things up.”

What does AEW have that separates them from the pack:

“Youth. They’re not relying on a bunch of guys that have been on top for 20 years. Not that WWE is either—you have the younger guys that are going to be behind the scenes as well, they’re going to be willing to listen. Let me re-phrase this. The youth behind the scene means new ideas, fresh ideas, young ideas. Obviously, they’re going to have some veterans there for psychology reasons. It’s gonna have a more—it’s gonna have a flavor you’re not gonna have in a company that’s run by guys that are much much older, who don’t interact with pop culture as much.”

Do other promotions not have their finger on the pulse the way AEW does

“I don’t watch current wrestling, but I [keep up enough] with it. I think that’s been the big problem with wrestling always, is they don’t keep up with what’s current. That’s why Paul E [Heyman] was such a great booker because he understood what was popular and zeitgeist. He was able to use that and correlate that and make his stuff seem so trendy, but in wrestling, generally, people behind-the-scenes are in a bubble. They’re in a wrestling bubble, just like politicians are in a bubble and they only see the political lens.”

See Raven with comedian Tim Gonzalez and fellow wrestling veteran Johnny Swinger as they tell TALL TALES live at Doc Holiday’s Saloon in Griffin, GA on Thursday, May 30. Proceeds will benefit Operation Lunchbox, which helps children in need get extra meals around their school lunches. (Wrestlezone).”
