Parents Provided Tips for Child's First Cellphone
<p>It’s that time of the year when kids head back to school. It’s also a time when many students receive more responsibility.</p><p>Students may face the responsibility of receiving their first cellphone – a subject many parents are anxious to tackle. The most appropriate age that a child should be given a cellphone, how much screen time should be allowed and what are some tips for smartphone usage are questions that families may have when they purchase that first phone for their children.</p><p>U.S. Cellular associates in Coralville will host a free Device Workshop, where they can help you navigate the uncertainty of buying your child’s first cellphone. The workshop is open to everyone. You do not need to be a U.S. Cellular customer to attend.</p><p>“Purchasing a cellphone is never a task that should be taken lightly, but getting one for your child is even more important,” said Mike Adams, U.S. Cellular’s director of sales for Iowa and Nebraska. “Our tech experts are here to provide tips to help you figure out if your child is ready for their own phone. Many parents say safety is a main reason they want to get their kids a cellphone, so we also have a strong network to ensure you can reach them when and where you need.”</p><p>Please call 319-341-6050 for more information.</p> 2019-08-14 11:45:00 -05008/25/1911:00 a.m.U.S. CellularCoralville -

Jo Koy - Just Kidding World Tour
<p>Jo Koy has come a long way from his modest beginnings performing at a Las Vegas coffee house. As one of today’s premiere stand-up comedians, Koy sells-out theaters and arenas across the world with his infectious and explosive energy onstage. The comedian pulls inspiration from his family, specifically his son, with material that has universal appeal.</p><p>In November 2017, the comedian broke a record for the most tickets sold by a single artist at The Neal S. Blaisdell Concert Hall in Honolulu with 11 sold-out shows and over 23,000 tickets sold. Celebrating this accomplishment, the mayor’s office in Honolulu proclaimed November 24th as “Jo Koy Day.” Koy is also the only comedian to sell out 6 shows at The Warfield in San Francisco, he broke the attendance record at Club Regent Event Centre in Winnipeg with 4 sold-out shows, and is one of the few acts to sell-out 2 shows at The Florida Theatre in Jacksonville, FL. In July 2018, Koy was given the prestigious “Stand-Up Comedian Of The Year” award at the Just For Laughs Comedy Festival in Montreal.</p><p>Today, the comedian tours around the world and is currently wrapping up his <em>Break The Mold World Tour</em> just in time for his highly anticipated Netflix special, <em>Comin’ In Hot</em> to release June 2019. Koy will launch his <em>Just Kidding World Tour </em>in August 2019 with all new material not on the previous tour or upcoming special.</p><p>Koy released his first stand-up comedy album, <em>Live From Seattle</em> and reached #1 on the Billboard Charts. He can also be heard on his weekly podcast, <em>The Koy Pond with Jo Koy</em> by Starburns Audio. Listeners can dive in each week as Koy welcomes friends and fellow comedians to share their hilarious insights on life. For more info on the podcast, album and tour dates, please visit: Jokoy.com.</p><p>TruTV has also greenlit the animated comedy pilot, <em>This Functional Family</em> starring Koy. The half-hour animated project puts Koy at the center of a fractured, patched-up, multi-racial, dysfunctional family. It draws upon Koy’s real-life experiences and characters featured in his stand-up.</p><p>Later this year, fans can also catch Koy on the silver screen co-starring alongside Brandon Routh and Donna Murphy as “Vladimir Lenin” in the upcoming live-action film,<em> Anastasia</em>.</p><p>Koy has appeared on over 140 episodes of <em>Chelsea Lately</em> as a season regular roundtable guest. Other appearances include: <em>The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, The Late Late Show with James Corden, Beat Bobby Flay, Spike TV’s Adam Carolla & Friends Build Stuff Live and Jimmy Kimmel Live</em>.</p> 2019-04-19 22:00:00 -0500
