Chonda Pierce

Stand-up comedian, television host, author, and actress Chonda Pierce was joined by fellow comedian Bone Hampton to deliver an evening of laughter to a packed house at First Baptist Church of Clarksville.

Pierce, known as the ‘Queen of Clean’, is funny and prolific, having released 10 albums and authored eight books. Her book Laughing In The Dark was recently made into a documentary. And, she has received five Daytime Emmy nominations for her work on the Total Living Network talk show Aspiring Women.

Pat Van Dyke, First Baptist Church of Clarksville’s Minister of Music and Pastoral Care was excited for Pierce’s return to Clarksville. “Chonda Pierce actually went to school at APSU, and currently lives in Ashland City. So, in addition to being hilariously funny, and a great encourager, she is a local lady as well.”

“Her message is always about hope and encouragement, as we face the difficulties of life. She tells so many funny stories, but they always have a point that is positive. Now is a good time for Chonda to be here. We need laughter more than ever, don’t we?”
