CAROL BURNETT ...An Evening Of Laughter And Reflection

The one and only...CAROL BURNETT comes to Long Island at The Tilles Center for 2 exciting shows, October 22 & 23.

AN EVENING OF LAUGHTER AND REFLECTION WHERE THE AUDIENCE ASKS QUESTION.

During "An Evening of Laughter and Reflection," Burnett will take questions from the audience, show video clips from her shows in a format that harkens back to the legendary openings of The Carol Burnett Show where her studio audience had an unfiltered opportunity to engage Carol with questions and receive spontaneous answers. "I love the spontaneity of these evenings" said Carol, " I never know what anyone is going to ask, or say, or do, so it keeps me on my toes!"

Carol Burnett, award-winning actress and best-selling author, is widely recognized by the public and her peers for her work on stage and screen and most notably The Carol Burnett Show.

"Carol Burnett is one of the all-time greats of television comedy. Her wit and talent set the bar for women in entertainment," said Jeffrey P. Jones, executive director of Peabody. "Suffice it to say there would be no Gilda Radner, Julia Louis-Dreyfus or Tina Fey without her blazing the trail. We are pleased to celebrate the many contributions of a beloved TV icon."

This is not the first time Burnett has been recognized by the Peabody org. She earned a Peabody for her work as a performer in 1962. That was well before she began her storied 11-year run on CBS with her variety sketch comedy "The Carol Burnett Show" in 1967. Burnett was also a Peabody Award winner in 1979 as part of the cast of "Friendly Fire," the ABC tele pic about the effect on the Vietnam War on one family.

Time: 7:30 pm - 9:00 pm.
