Williams and Ree in Minn. on Friday

At 8 p.m. on Friday comedy duo Williams and Ree will perform at Shooting Star Casino, Hotel and Event Center, located at 777 Casino Road in Mahnomen, Minn.

Bruce Williams and Terry Ree, also known as “The Indian and the White Guy,” have sustained a career for nearly 45 years packing casinos, clubs and arenas from Niagara Falls to Las Vegas with their ever-changing routine that — more times than not — steers away from the off-color Indian jokes that originally established the duo.

Williams and Ree met in 1968 at Black Hills State College in Spearfish, S.D., where they began playing together in a band where they often filled time between their songs with their humor. After realizing that the humor became a bigger draw than the music, the comedy team was born.

Tickets start at $10 and can be purchased by phone at 1-800-311-SHOW, online at www.StarCasino.com, or via the “Events” tab on Shooting Star’s Facebook page, www.Facebook. com/ShootingStarCasino.
