“Chonda’s latest movie ‘Enough’ is MORE than enough,” says GRAMMY® Award-winning vocalist Sandi Patty. “It is hilarious, of course. It is also so moving, inspiring and hopeful. Chonda’s story has so much depth and you’ll love her even more after seeing this movie.”

Acclaimed actor Kevin Sorbo also says, “’Enough’ was moving and entertaining, Chonda doesn’t pull any punches,” while his wife, author Sam Sorbo, adds, “’Enough’ shows Chonda at her most real. A comic sage, combining wry humor with real-life profundity. I kinda wish she was my best friend.”

Earlier this year, Fathom Events/Fuseic Entertainment premiered “Chonda Pierce: Enough” in theatres around the country for one night, garnering the highest per screen average of all nationwide theatrical releases that day. The film’s debut and encore presentations were viewed on a combined total of 1,570 screens. “Enough” follows Pierce’s 2015 award-winning Fathom Events/Fuseic Entertainment box office hit “Laughing in the Dark,” which saw sellouts in more than 125 theatres around the country during its one-night cinema debut.

A stand-up comedian, television hostess, actress and author, Chonda Pierce has been making people laugh for more than two decades with her winning combination of fierce wit and southern charm. The Recording Industry Association of America’s (RIAA) best-selling female comedian of all time, Pierce has six Platinum DVDs, three Gold DVDs and five Daytime Emmy® Award nominations to her credit and has been ranked among Pollstar’s top-selling live performers.

Nashville, Tenn. (January 4, 2013) – LULU ROMAN, one of Hee Haw’s most iconic and memorable faces, is set to release her first-ever musical standards album titled, AT LAST.  The album is scheduled for a national sales release on January 15, via Homesick Entertainment.

The 12-track pop / jazz / country standards album is chock full of some of Roman’s personal favorites including “Summertime,” “Fever,” “You Are So Beautiful” and “Killing Me Softly (With His Song).”

“This album was an absolute joy for me to record,” notes Roman.  “We had talked about recording it for so long and now we’ve finally got it in the can and ready to unveil!”

Country music fans will find some familiar voices on Roman’s new compilation.  The legendary Dolly Parton joins Roman on “I Will Always Love You,” T.

On singing with Parton, Roman notes, “What can I say?  This one is ‘da bomb.’  I was so honored to have my precious friend Dolly come sing with me.  It was truly one of the most awesome days of my life.  She lights up the room, spices up the atmosphere, and clears the air you breathe.  She is just as lovely as you think she is!”

Roman adds, “I’m so incredibly thankful for everyone who joined in to help me sing on this project.  And I also want to thank Larry Ferguson and Chris Barnes who produced the album.  Larry and Chris have supported me in my ‘dream’ to sing the standards and classics, with great enthusiasm and great belief in my ability.”
