Have a laugh with Ron White at MGM Grand at Foxwoods

December 26, 2012 11:00 pm • Last Updated: December 26, 2012 2:15 pm

The Auld Lang Syne Chortle Factor should be through the roof Monday when comic Ron White headlines the MGM Grand Theater at Foxwoods.

His newest DVD, "A Little Unprofessional," is now available at Wal-Mart on an exclusive distribution deal, but don't fear the chain's conservative reputation has watered down any of White's damned funny and frequently obscene material.

(Does he discuss Viagra and pat-downs at airline security points? Of course he does!)

But White has also recently expanded into acting, with roles in the Kevin Spacey/Jennifer Aniston film "Horrible Bosses" and the upcoming Billy Bob Thornton/Robert Duvall movie called "Jayne Mansfield's Car."

Ron White, 9 p.m. Monday, MGM Grand Theater at Foxwoods; $58, $88; 1-800-200-2882, foxwoods.com.
