Pierce has been making people laugh for more than two decades with her winning combination of fierce wit and Southern charm, a news release said. The Recording Industry Association of America’s best-selling female comedian of all time, Pierce has six Platinum DVDs, three Gold DVDs and five Daytime Emmy Award nominations to her credit and has been ranked among Pollstar’s top-selling live performers. She has appeared on the iconic Grand Ole Opry twice in 2017, with another performance scheduled for this fall. In addition, she recently filmed a segment for CNN’s “History of Comedy” series.
Earlier this year, the premiere of her second Fathom Events/Fuseic Entertainment one-night documentary “Chonda Pierce: Enough” garnered the highest per screen average of all nationwide theatrical releases that day, the release said. The film’s debut and encore presentations were viewed on a combined total of more than 1,500 screens around the country. “Enough” follows Pierce’s 2015 award-winning documentary, “Laughing in the Dark,” which chronicled her life in the wake of her husband’s death.
