CHARLOTTE, N.C. — This morning in our Entertainment Spotlight on Charlotte Today, Eugene sat down with Comedian, Shaun Jones.
When asked how his new Amazon Prime Video Special "Now You Know!" came about...Jones joked with Eugene saying "I spoke it into existence...as the old people would say."
No stranger to comedy, Jones has been performing for 29 years.
His new special was recorded at the Dakota in Minneapolis. Jones tells us he is the first comedian to perform at the legendary jazz venue, since 1985.
Jones is currently on tour with Rickey Smiley, a tour they've been on the past couple years.
Always looking forward to his next gig, his next show, his next project, in the Fall: Jones will be touring with Bo Dacious, and Daniel Dugar - with Armed Forces Entertainment. The tour named: "The Dapper Dons of Comedy," and Jones tells us...he hopes to bring the old school look and feel of entertainment back...similar to shows in the "Rat Pack" era.
When asked what people tuning in can expect...Jones tells us he's over 50, so it's a show everyone can relate to... he talks about getting older...and the everyday lifestyle.
Again the special is called "Now you know!"
