According to Dixie, if it doesn’t lead to you doing something where you have to scroll through your photos from last night to find who you need to bake apology cupcakes for, then if you squint in just the right way and change your focus, you’ll see the glory in you that makes you the remarkable person you are.

WHO IS DIXIE?
Why, Dixie Longate is the fast-talking, gum chewing, ginger-haired Alabama gal who has her audiences howling with laughter with her outrageously funny tales, heartfelt accounts, audience participation and a little bit of empowerment and homespun wisdom. She hails from Mobile, Alabama where she lives with her three kids who she’s almost sometimes ever proud of: Wynona, Dwayne and Absorbine, Jr. She started selling Tupperware as part of the conditions of her parole back in 2001. Within a few years, she became the top selling Tupperware representative in the US. When a friend of hers told her she should turn her living room party into a theatrical show, she laughed so hard at the idea, she almost had to put down her drink.
Dixie’s Tupperware Party opened off-Broadway in 2007 to raving fans and rave reviews. The show earned Dixie a Drama Desk Award Nomination for Outstanding Solo Performance. She lost to Laurence Fishburne. Really. Look it up.
The following year, with plastic bowls in hand, she embarked on a small tour to some theaters in the US. Twelve years later, that tour was still running and had become one of the longest-running Off-Broadway tours in history. COVID put a halt to the live shows for the time being, which meant Dixie had to go back to her trailer in Mobile to spend time with her kids 24/7.
Dixie’s Happy Hour is her third major show from America’s Sixth Favorite redhead.
In the meantime, she wanted to give everyone a big hug even though she can’t do that in real life. You’ll find that hug in Dixie’s Happy Hour. Enjoy! For more information about Dixie’s Happy Hour, log onto http://DixiesHappyHour.com.
