The Literacy Council of Buncombe County will hold “Beauty and the Bee,” an adult Spelling Bee, on April 3, 2019 at The Mothlight in West Asheville. Beginning at 6 pm, fifteen teams of three adults each will compete in the themed, spirited, and zany word challenge.
While the word list is challenging to even the most advanced spellers, this event is not a traditional, stilted spelling bee. Audience members are encouraged to cheer on their favorite teams and can even purchase opportunities to cheat on the spellers’ behalf. Spellers and audience members are encouraged to wear costumes in homage to this year’s beauty-pageant event theme: Beauty and the Bee.
Spelling Bee teams are fielded by local businesses, non-profits, community associations, colleges, book clubs and friends. This year’s teams include the 2018 winning team, Malaprop’s Bookstore/Café; the 2017 highest fundraising team, Chestnut/Corner Kitchen; and more.
Funds raised by the Beauty and the Bee Spelling Bee support the Literacy Council of Buncombe County’s programs that provide basic literacy and English language services to 2,200 people in Buncombe County.
A musical, pictorial and live stage presentation of Jesus’ last days based on a cantata by Dallas Holmes. The choir and cast of the Tallulah Falls, GA outdoor passion drama bring a glimpse of “His Last Days” from their 35 years of summer enactments of Jesus’ life. Not just an Easter story- but a continual timeless narrative of faith.
Growing up gay in Fargo, North Dakota was never easy, but it did provide Drew with an abundance of material to sling off about his family, sex education, the big move to NYC, and what it means to be “Midwest nice.” He hosts two monthly shows at West Side Comedy Club in NYC, “Bottomless” and “Homo You Didn’t,” and just premiered a third, “Haus Party,” at Chelsea Music Hall. He’s performed at West Side Comedy Club, Gotham Comedy Club, Broadway Comedy Club, and Greenwich Village Comedy Club in NYC, and recently made his international debut at “The Comedy Mix” in Vancouver. When Drew’s not fighting the police with tap shoes, his “easy confidence and stage presence” has been likened to “being on a dinner date that’s going really well.” (Theatre Jones,TX). Credits: Memphis Comedy Festival, Dallas Comedy Festival, Laughing Devil Comedy Festival (NYC), Sacramento Comedy Festival, and The World Series of Comedy at Laugh Boston. (top 6)

Tim Northern is 6’3″, 200 pounds of manly man with what is often described as an obscure sense of humor. He is articulate, smart and deceptively witty, but most importantly he’s funny. The combination of his gruff exterior and his easy on the ears style could be catastrophic, but this mixture works well.
His opening line ‘I love y’all’ leaves audiences wondering what’s next. They soon realize he’s sincere.
Tim is a regular performer on the national comedy club circuit. He performed as the opening act for Rodney Carrington in Honky Tonks all over the country from February 1999 through July 2000.
Tim performed at the Chicago Comedy Festival 2002 as part of the Fresh Mugs Showcase, and showcased for the 2003 Montreal Just For Laughs Comedy Festival. In the spring of 2003 Tim was chosen to appear on CBS’s Star Search where he advanced to the Finals.
