WIN TICKETS to VICE Movie Premiere in Montreal for White Lightening

Answer the following question in the comments below before June 10 2009 and you could win a pair of tickets for the June 12 premiere of what Vanity Fair describes as a ‘white trash psycho billy nightmare.’ The disturbing but no doubt delightful nightmare in question is Vice Films‘ very first full length feature, White Lightening.

So here’s the question, and all it’ll take is a tiny piece of intenet research or Jesco White knowledge to answer:

What sitcom did Jesco White make an appearance on in the 1990’s?

Anyone who comments the right answer below will go into a draw with the other smarty pants to win the tickets.

Here’s a little Jesco White, for the flavour:

Here’s the film’s press release:

Vice and leading UK feature-production house Film and Music Entertainment are proud to present the first full length feature from Vice Films White Lightening, the story of living legend Jesco White.

White Lightening tells the story of living legend Jesco White: ‘The Dancing Outlaw’ who bounced in and out of reform schools and insane asylums as a child for excessive drug use and wild behaviour. In order to harbour his outlandish behaviour, his father D-Ray taught him the art of Appalachian Mountain dancing. Jesco begins touring across the bar scene where he meets the love of his life, Cilla – twice his age, half his height, and the love of his life. But trouble was never far from him throughout the hollers of West Virginia. As Jesco puts it, “ther’s tha devil movin’ thru my blood.”

Official Selection: Sundance ‘09, and Berlinale ‘09
