Jeanne Robertson is absolutely not a comedian. Says so in her bio and in the press release for her upcoming appearance at the Lakewood Theater, where many comedians–but not Robertson, because she isn’t one–often perform. Couldn’t be clearer: “Jeanne Robertson is a professional speaker who specializes in hilarious humor based on her life experiences.” You may call Robertson many things, like “sassy” or “brassy” or other choice, adorably southern psuedo-compliments for women who talk about things other than babies and iced tea, but please, no comedy innuendo. After all, she is the winner of a Golden Gavel Award from Toastmasters International. Sure, Robertson tells humorous anecdotes with a topic, premise and punchline, but once again, we repeat, she is not a comedian. Because they don’t put comedians on the cover of Speaker magazine. Polish up your decorous amusement bone and see Robertson speak–not perform–at the historic Lakewood Theater, 1825 Abrams Pkwy. this Friday at 7 p.m. Tickets are $28.50. Visit LakewoodTheater.com.
