Two comedy acts should add some laughs to all the sounds tonight at Downstream Casino.

Williams and Ree will perform their brand of country music comedy, and the Pow Wow Comedy Jam will feature four Native American comedians.

Williams and Ree got their start in 1968 at Black Hills University in South Dakota. Known as “The Indian and White Guy,” the duo regularly played the Comedy Store in Los Angeles and toured with acts such as the Oak Ridge Boys.

The Pow Wow Comedy Jam is composed of comedians J.R. Redwater, Vaughn Eaglebear, Marc Yaffee and Jim Ruel. The group has performed at colleges, casinos and clubs across the country, including the Hollywood Improv.

The show begins at 7:30 p.m. in the Pavilion at Downstream Casino. Tickets are $15 each and available in the casino’s gift shop.
