Bill Engvall

In 1992 he was awarded as the Best Male Stand-up by the American Comedy Awards. After working in several shows, he gave his debut Here’s Your Sign, which were placed #5 in the Billboard country chart.

There was no turn backs after this for Bill. He became a part of the Blue Collar Comedy tour and reached great peaks with the team. In 2011 he started hosting a TV game show Lingo.
