JOSH TURNER
Berglund Performing Arts Theatre
Known for his unmistakable, buttery baritone and timeless songs like “Long Black Train” and “Why Don’t We Just Dance,” Turner’s five No. 1 singles include “Your Man,” of which the official music video surpassed 233 million views. Currently, Turner has 6 billion career global streams. His debut album, Long Black Train, released 22 years ago and was certified Platinum by the RIAA with nearly 1.5M album sales, 1.4M track downloads, and over 331.2M life-to-date streams. The lead single of the same name was also certified 2x Platinum, making up over 1.1M track downloads and over 275.7M global streams. In July 2025, Turner celebrated the 20th Anniversary of his signature song "Your Man," and in 2021 released Your Man (Deluxe Edition) celebrating 15 years of Turner’s iconic double Platinum-selling album, as well as the reimagined video featuring his wife, Jennifer, who starred in the original video.
Turner's latest release on MCA Records, This Country Music Thing, has acquired 10M release-to-date global streams and debuted Top 10 on the Country Albums chart. From this project, he's released "Two Steppin' On The Moon," which garnered him an invitation to perform for NASA astronauts, on the International Space Station, from Mission Control at Houston's Johnson Space Center. He was also asked by NBC's TODAY to perform "Unsung Hero" for Veterans Day, a song he wrote about his granddaddy who served in WWII. This past May, Turner released the official music video for “Unsung Hero,” which debuted on CMT and the Paramount Times Square Billboard in NYC.
A native of South Carolina, Turner has been nominated for three GMA Dove Awards and won his first GMA Dove Award in 2021 for “I Saw The Light” featuring Sonya Isaacs, off his I Serve a Savior album. Grammy-nominated Turner has been awarded the Order of the Palmetto in his home state of South Carolina (2023), the highest civilian honor, and was inducted into the South Carolina Entertainment and Music Hall of Fame (2024). Turner released his first Greatest Hits album in fall of 2023 and is currently crisscrossing America on the This Country Music Thing Tour in support of his recent album release of the same name. To support music and arts education, he created The Josh Turner Scholarship Fund for the Arts to help students pursue their studies in these fields. More than 20 students have been recipients since the fund's inception. Turner and his wife Jennifer, whom he met when they were both students at Nashville’s Belmont University, have four sons.

Pound for pound, Brad Williams is the funniest comedian in the country right now and has become one of the most in-demand comedians working today. Williams started doing stand-up comedy as a teenager and has been touring successfully ever since, routinely selling out prestigious venues all over the country and world.
Williams has parlayed his live performances into a multitude of stand-up television appearances, including The Tonight Show, Dave Attell’s Comedy Underground, and Jimmy Kimmel Live. His first one-hour special, Fun Size, was the highest rated special on Showtime, and a year later, he followed that up with his second one, Daddy Issues, which was even more successful than the first. His third special in three years was an uproarious one, hosting some of the edgiest comedians in the country from the prestigious Montreal Just for Laughs Festival. His last groundbreaking special on Netflix, The Degenerates, garnered more huge ratings and rave reviews.
Also an accomplished actor, Williams has appeared on numerous TV shows and feature films, including FX’s Legit, Sam and Cat, Mind of Mencia, Pitboss, a recurring role on the Hulu original show Deadbeat, and memorable roles in a plethora of movies, including Little Evil, produced by Scott Stuber (Ted), as well as the Netflix original Christopher Guest film, Mascots, and most recently Reno 911: It’s A Wonderful Heist.
Recently, Brad became the first stand-up comedian to headline a Cirque de Soleil show in their 30-year history, when he agreed to launch—and do a three-month run of—their newest show Mad Apple, at the magnificent 1200 seat New York New York Theater in Las Vegas. The show became an immediate smash hit to rave revues, singling out Williams for his incredible ability to captivate his audiences with his extraordinary performances.
In addition to stand-up and acting, Williams co-created and co-hosted one of the most successful podcasts in the world, with friend and fellow comic Adam Ray, entitled About Last Night, which was always a mainstay on the iTunes charts during their five-year run. Additionally, he is also a regular contributor with a series of incredibly funny appearances on several national radio and podcast platforms, including KROQ’s Kevin and Bean Show and The Adam Carolla Show.
Williams’ humorous and inspiring observations on disability, relationships, sex, and race consistently win over audiences; proving anyone can overcome their shortcomings. His high energy live performances frequently produce standing ovations from audience members, which prompted the late Robin Williams to call him “Prozac with a head.”

Whitney Cummings first gained recognition as a stand-up comedian and has since become one of the most distinctive and influential comedic voices of the past two decades. She co-created and co-wrote the Emmy Award-winning CBS sitcom 2 Broke Girls, while simultaneously creating, producing, and starring in NBC’s Whitney. She currently hosts the hit podcast Good for You [podcasts.apple.com] and starred in Friends: The Game Show on Max, a fan competition series celebrating the 30th anniversary of the iconic sitcom Friends.
Known for her bold, observational humor, Cummings is currently touring North America with her Big Baby [whitneycummings.com] tour, delivering her signature sharp wit and fearless perspective on navigating the world as a single mom. Her latest material dives into the chaos of personal growth, the comedy of owning your mistakes, and laugh-out-loud reflections on raising a son. Her stand-up continues to blend personal anecdotes with incisive cultural commentary.
Cummings has released six acclaimed stand-up specials across Netflix, Max, and Comedy Central. Beyond the stage, she’s the author of the 2017 memoir I’m Fine...And Other Lies [barnesandnoble.com], which offers an unflinchingly honest and humorous look at mental health and resilience. That same year, she made her directorial debut with The Female Brain, which she also co-wrote and starred in.
