Both comedians have a reputation for clean and clever comedy that is inspirational and uplifting.

Rader is also a motivational speaker and author who has been featured on NPR's "Talk of the Nation," Sirius satellite radio and "Who's Laughing Now." He is a winner of the Branson Comedy Festival and the author of "Let it Go, Just Let it Go."
Tickets: $20. Proceeds will go toward the theater's capital campaign for a new building on land donated by Mercy Hospital. Stained Glass Theatre's former building was destroyed in the May 22 tornado.
