Why I am just discovering this comedy he freaking awesome

[@russelljr4026]

“Yes Ron..I mean Billy.” 😂

[@d.kyrstede3556]

I was on the Ronn Lucas Show starring Billy the Kid in 1972. Ronn and Billy were just starting out. They came to Austin, Tx and aired a show on the ocal CBS station. I think it was the CBS station. I was 7 at the time. I have an autographed photo of Ronn Lucas and Billy the Kid. It's a bit worn and stained. I thought I lost it, but my dad had it. My brother just gave it to me. He is executor to my dad's estate.

[@TyeDyeGuyRV]

Just saw him perform on a cruise last week, he's just as great as ever!

[@Shae29]

I saw him on a cruise in 2022! Super funny, I loved him❤

[@lawnmowermanTX]

He has a website. Google Ronn Lucas

[@NadaSurferTube]

Ron Lucas is the GOAT!

[@bb22602]

Best ever! wish we could see more of him.

[@weldrider1]

Way back then he had "Ricky Lane" Everybody thought Ronn Lucas was the "Dummy"....Ha Ha Ha.....He used to drive temporary teachers Crazy....He can "Through" his voice...(sounds like it comes from across the room).....God Bless Buddy.

[@A_random_NPC]

Your a legend

[@loristanford8724]

He is awesome. Made me laugh

[@CubsFan2023]

God, he is good singing a round with himself.

[@doriWyo]

I think it was Ronn who was part of a White House show, and had Billy flirting with Nancy Reagan. I would love to see that, again

[@Tarrabyte]

He definitely can compete with Jeff Dunham

[@IcaroSantosMello]

His puppet kinda looks like Bo Burnham

[@AladinComadin]

Brilliant, which song does he sing.

[@allijo514]

Row Row Row Your Boat done in a round

[@TheCaveman46]

Great, but he (they) should have done The Auctioneer's Song.

[@SumitShrey7]

🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@Shawn-bm8dp]

He is the funniest guy besides Jeff Dunham

[@FauxStalgia]

Now I know who inspired Jeff Dunham 🤌🏾

[@davidlalremruata]

Jeff Dunham or Ron Lucas, who came first? Have they ever performed together?

[@d.kyrstede3556]

Ron Lucas came first. He started his show when he was 21 years old. He is a really nice guy. I was on his show along with my 1st grade class in 1972.

[@frogdogink4415]

That would be awesome 😅

[@antekolak7336]

[@jessiehermit9503]

The what?

[@chivalryalive]

@@jessiehermit9503 Well.... He's got us curious. Doesn't he? :-D

[@Duskylaze]

The suspense is killing me

[@abrahamloch8682]

Jeff's better

[@CalebMcFarland]

Why does that matter? Why is it always this guy is better or worse? Like each guys can have value. And if we’re talking better Terry Fator blows the pants off of Jeff Dunham. But I like both. Don’t know why it’s always a competition.

[@abrahamloch8682]

@@CalebMcFarland i know, i was just shouting jeff out so that more people can experience him.

[@chivalryalive]

Mr. Dumham, caters to a more mature audience. Especially his older /nightclub work. He sometimes kinda got nasty! I really like it but my sister would have a fit if I ever showed Jeff's earlier stuff to my little nephews! :-D

[@lonnysimmons1889]

There's also Terry Fator, just saying. They're all good.

[@xavierpadilla5770]

jeff dunhams better

[@chivalryalive]

Mr. Dunham simply is geared for the older, more mature audiences. Keep in mind his early, night club work when he was playing to a crowd with cocktails in their hands.... Those crowds simply needed required different material. :-)

[@robruitenberg4064]

i friggin hate puppets. This isn't comedy

[@TheCaveman46]

Triggered by a puppet? Seek professional help, dude.

[@Ulowwxrld]

Why should that be someone else's problem instead of you

[@justinball5651]

It actually is. You hear that sound in the audience? That's called laughter.

[@allijo514]

One of my best friends is a professional puppeteer. I'm sure he's made more people laugh in his 27 years than you ever have or will.

[@robruitenberg4064]

@@allijo514 Sure people also eat mc Donalds drink starbucks and listen to love nicky minage The great Norm mc donald has some funny stuff on puppeteers just like clowns are anti- comedy we just have different standards. to meclowns and puppeteers are horrible and not funny at all punch and judy can be funny but that's also acting . anyways . . not funny not funny.
