Tim Hawkins to perform LIVE at MVNU

MOUNT VERNON, Ohio — Comedian Tim Hawkins, known for his sharp wit, catchy songs, and family-friendly humor, is coming to Mount Vernon Nazarene University on Saturday, March 22, 2025, for two unforgettable performances at 1 p.m. and 7 p.m. in the R.R. Hodges Chapel/Auditorium. Both performances are sure to have the audience laughing from start to finish.

Over the past three decades, Hawkins has gone from open mic nights at regional comedy clubs to headlining 90-minute sets nationwide and performing 100 times per year in front of audiences numbering in the thousands. The Missouri native first began making a name for himself on YouTube where he posted anecdotes about homeschooling, marriage and real-life mishaps.

Hawkins has released eight full-length DVDs, as well as five albums, amassing fans thanks to countless song parodies like “Chick-fil-A,” where he proclaims his unadulterated love for the popular fast food chain; “Cletus, Take The Reel,” his ode to fishing loosely based on Carrie Underwood’s classic hit; and his most-streamed song, “Pretty Pink Tractor,” his original spin on a signature Jason Aldean track. His parodies have made him a YouTube sensation.

In addition to his stand-up show, Hawkins has recorded over a hundred episodes of his popular “Poddy Break” podcast and currently hosts “The Tim Hawkins” podcast, which also features his wife Heather, daughter Olivia and son-in-law Luke. A father of four and a grandfather of one, Hawkins’ main goal is to “make people laugh as hard as humanly possible.”
