Carl Hurley, Jeanne Robertson team up for laughs
Their differences are apparent. He's 5-foot-6 standing on tiptoe. She's 6-foot-2 with her hair mashed down. He grew up swapping homespun stories in the hills of eastern Kentucky. She's a former Miss Carolina who finds humor in everyday life.

On Tuesday, Carl Hurley and Jeanne Robertson will count on the trait they have in common -- making people laugh -- when they team up for a show designed exclusively for senior adults at the Tivoli Theatre.
Both performers, who mine comic gold from their day-to-day experiencess, are featured on the comedy channels of Sirius/XM satellite radio. Both have worked as convention speakers.
Hurley has 15 comedy recordings and is the author of a book about growing up in Appalachia titled "We Weren't Poor... We Just Didn't Have Any Money."
Robertson has released six DVDs, three books and has logged more than 8 million hits on YouTube, including more than 3.5 million for her "Don't Send a Man to the Grocery Store" story about her husband, Jerry, better known as "Left Brain," for his different way of thinking.
