WILMINGTON — Downtown’s Wilson Center is bringing an Oklahoma comedian to the stage as part of his Grow Up Comedy Tour.
Trey Kennedy began his comedy climb while attending Oklahoma State University and posting bits on the video mobile app Vine; he gained more than 2 million followers.
Today, after touring and selling out shows stateside, Kennedy still utilizes social media to grow his 12 million followers. He often posts on Instagram, TikTok and YouTube, where he released his self-produced comedy special “Are You For Real?”
Many of his bits consist of impersonations of moms: sending kids back to school, new moms and dog moms.
“Any time I say I don’t like dogs, a white girl pops out of a bush: ‘What did you say, what was that, what did you say? Say it to Winston’s face, I dare you. We don’t deserve dogs.'”
He’s clear the dog mom and human mom aren’t comparable.
“My mom gave me a kiss on the cheek; you dog moms are at home making out with your fur baby,” he said in his YouTube special.
Tickets to his Sept. 29 show at Wilson Center start at $35 and go on sale Friday, June 30, 10 a.m., here. They can also be purchased through the box office at 2 p.m. daily by calling 910-362-7999.
