Nadine Lewington describes herself as an “international woman of mystery,” which sounds impressive until you realize that most of the mystery involves trying to determine exactly what she’s going to do on stage. Nadine reportedly originated in England. She also reports that some people believe she’s “a big fakey faker with a big fake mustache.” We have no idea what that means. After our experience trying to verify Tiffi Tool Time’s NCAA record, Tucker Pride has officially disbanded its investigative journalism department. So we’re going with England. What we do know is that young Nadine…

Next up in our Stand-Up for Pride lineup is Gloria White! Now, we’d like to say that Tucker Pride conducts a rigorous and highly professional vetting process for all of our performers. Unfortunately, Gloria made that difficult by spending her birthday week at Disney World instead of promptly responding to our interrogatory email. Apparently, “I’m celebrating my birthday at the Happiest Place on Earth” is now considered an acceptable excuse. Fine. Gloria is an Atlanta native and Tucker resident who has been performing stand-up since 2021. She’s performed at comedy clubs and venues around the…

Our next spotlight is on Maurice Thomas — and we have some concerns. Maurice asks you to imagine if Ruben Studdard couldn’t really sing, never went on American Idol, went to a Southern college to major in theatre and minor in Africana Studies, and worked at a Huddle House instead of a Waffle House because he couldn’t fight. Got all that? Well, Maurice sat next to that guy on the train. Hmmm… An Atlanta native, Maurice is a comic, actor, voice-over talent, and co-host of the podcast Blerds Guide to the Galaxy. On stage, he…

Before Tiffi Tool Time started making people laugh, she was making baskets. Tiffi Tool Time played Division I basketball and says she even made her way into the NCAA women’s record books. Can we independently confirm the record-book statement? No. But after conducting a comprehensive AI-assisted risk assessment, we have determined that arguing with a Division I athlete falls outside Tucker Pride’s risk tolerance. What we can confirm is that she knows considerably more about basketball than the gay men running Tucker Pride. So we’re hoping she’ll stick around after the show for a brief…

What do you get when you combine a gray gay in a midlife crisis, accidentally dating a priest (gurl, we’ve all been there!), a trip through nuclear power plants, an impromptu FBI interview, and enough life experience to develop a few Real Housewives taglines? Apparently, you get Drew Plant. An Atlanta-based comic, writer, and longtime voice in the LGBTQ+ community, Drew brings his particular brand of Southern sass to stories about sobriety, aging, reinvention, identity…and the occasional bad decision. And somewhere along the way, an audience member said he sounded like “Gay Cornbread.” Rather than…

Volunteers? Comedy co-conspirators? Or are we the guinea pigs? Honestly, we’re still working that part out. What we do know is that this incredibly talented group of comedians has generously volunteered their time and talent to help us raise funds for Tucker Pride—and we couldn’t be more grateful. Your emcee Robert Thompson will attempt to maintain order while Nadine Lewington, Tiffi Tool Time, Maurice Thomas, Gloria White, and Drew Plant bring the laughs! These folks are giving us their time. The least we can do is give them a great audience. Visit our comedy page…

We’re less than two weeks away from Stand-Up for Pride! And for those of you who haven’t bought your tickets yet, we thought we’d start revealing a little more about what—and more importantly, who—we have in store for you. First things first: somebody has to hold this whole thing together. We considered careful planning, organization, and good judgment. Instead, we got an emcee. Meet Robert Thompson, the man we’ve entrusted with a microphone, five comedians, and the responsibility of keeping the evening moving. He seemed like a good fit. We’re sticking with that decision. Robert…

If you enjoyed our Tucker Pride comedy shows in the past, you won’t want to miss this one! Saturday, September 26th, 7-9PM We’re bringing the laughs to a brand-new venue—Mama Debbie’s in downtown Tucker—for an evening of comedy, community, drinks, and some seriously good desserts. We’re curating a lineup of LGBTQIA+ comedians, along with an ally or two, guaranteed to tickle all our funny bones. You’ll see experienced performers take the stage—and maybe even catch a rising star or two along the way. Come early, grab a drink from the cash bar, enjoy a selection of…

Our Facebook page is our primary home on Facebook and the place where we post news, upcoming events, community updates, photos, and more. Maintaining both a page and a group has caused some confusion—and, frankly, a lot of unnecessary cross-posting—so we’re bringing everything together in one place. So, if you are still in our Facebook group, leave it. If you already follow our Facebook page, you’re all set. If you don’t follow our page (or you are not sure), head to our page and click the FOLLOW button. If the button says “unfollow”, don’t click…
