Born in Galveston, TX, Bill Engvall was a night club DJ in Dallas until the call to funniness became excessively impregnable to deny. After startling amateur-night audiences at respective local clubs and a abbreviated stint in St. Louis, Engvall arrived in Los Angeles in 1990. He hosted the Geminate of Jokers cable special with Rosie O'Donnell and also appeared on Evening at the Improv and The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. In 1992, he was awarded Best Male Standup at the American Comedy Awards, and affected into sitcom TV with an appearance on Designing Women and a regular role on the transitory Delta. Signed to Warner Bros. in 1996, Engvall released his rustic debut album, Here's Your Sign -- also the title of his near celebrated bit -- in 1996. A spell with like-minded everyman laughable Jeff Foxworthy was side by side; that in turn light-emitting diode to a part on Foxworthy's sitcom that was as brief as the show itself. The Dorkfish LP followed in 1998, and Engvall saw both it and his debut achieve gold-record status. His seasonal drive, Here's Your Christmas Album, appeared that same year. In mid-2000, Engvall released At present That's Awesome and embarked on the Blue Collar Comedy Tour, once again with Foxworthy, and also with two former comics they'd recruited, Larry the Cable Guy and Ron White. The quartet's act proven to be very popular, and the hitch continued over the adjacent several geezerhood, spawning several albums, a moving-picture show, and a cable television set show along the way. Despite Blue Collar's collective succeeder, Engvall continued releasing material on his own as well. Inexpensive Drunk: An Autobiography appeared in 2002, followed a year later by album issue six, Here's Your Sign Reloaded. A roundup of some of Engvall's topper material was released in the decrease of 2004, entitled A Decade of Laughs, before his adjacent all-new album, 15° Off Cool, surfaced in February 2007.
