Chonda Pierce has a few things on her mind, and she’d like to get them off, thank you.

The Southern comedian will do just that when she visits the Tivoli Theatre on Saturday, April 6, for “The Traveling Talk Show.”

The unscripted show will feature Pierce, who’s been called “The Queen of Clean Comedy,” in a talk-show format created to show off her razor-sharp wit, down-home charm and, occasionally, musical talent.

“I’m so excited about being in Chattanooga,” she said earlier this week.
