Comedian Tim Hawkins is the scheduled entertainer for the annual SBTC Senior Adult Luncheon at noon Wednesday, Feb. 17 at the Arlington Convention Center.
Hawkins has been accused of being equally gifted and twisted. His parodies, musical and otherwise, are making him a household name as they receive thousands of hits on the online video site YouTube.com.
His arsenal is unique: high-energy stand up, physical comedy, slick guitar skills, myriad impersonations, improvisational chops, and a singing voice that adapts from hair band shrieking to country songster to a parody of the generic music minister.
“People think I live a rock-star life,” quipped Hawkins. “Believe me, Mick Jagger never gets lost in a Hertz parking lot looking for his Ford Focus.”
A former college All-American baseball player, he traded the sports stage for the comedy stage and never looked back. The St. Louis native taught himself to play guitar and tested the waters at area comedy clubs, launching a full-time comedic career in 2002.
His art form was honed primarily in churches, with a brief 6-month stint performing in prisons.
Tickets are $10 and seating is limited. To register, visit sbtexas.com/evangelism and click through the Senior Adult Luncheon tab under “Upcoming Events.”
