Actor / Author / Comedian / Producer Jeff Garlin, star of HBO's "Curb Your Enthusiasm," will headline a very special three-night stand-up engagement at Times Square comedy hotspot Carolines on Broadway (1626 Broadway at 49th Street) beginning Monday, February 11 through Wednesday, February 13, with show time each night at 8:00 PM.

Tickets for all shows are $25.00 per person plus a two-drink minimum. To purchase tickets visit www.carolines.com. To make reservations call the Carolines Box Office at 212.757.4100.

Garlin has a style of comedy that has much in common with the comedians of the '60s and early-'70s (among them, Shelley Berman, Mort Sahl, Woody Allen, and Richard Pryor). Garlin tells stories, exploring his personal foibles and exposing his innermost secrets for all to hear.

On television, Garlin co-stars and executive produces the critically acclaimed HBO series "Curb Your Enthusiasm." The show stars the creator of "Seinfeld," Larry David, and recently won the 2001 AFI Comedy Series of the Year Award. Jeff spent three seasons on NBC's "Mad About You" in the role of "Marvin." Jeff has had his own HBO half-hour special. As a director he has directed both Jon Stewart ("Unleavened") and Denis Leary ("Lock-n-Load") in their HBO specials. Jeff has also directed "Curb Your Enthusiasm."

Jeff appears in the Steven Soderbergh film "Full Frontal" which stars Julia Roberts and David Duchovny, and "Daddy Day Care" with Eddie Murphy. Jeff has a variety of TV and film appearances to his credit as an actor and a stand-up, including "Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me," "Bounce," "Everybody Loves Raymond," the "Late Show with David Letterman," "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart," and "Late Night with Conan O'Brien."

In 2010, Garlin authored the book "My Footprint: Carrying the Weight of the World" (Simon & Schuster) in which he shares his hysterical and eye-opening journey to reduce his waistline and his carbon footprint during the production of the seventh season of "Curb Your Enthusiasm."

Born and raised in Chicago and then South Florida, Garlin studied filmmaking and began performing stand-up comedy while at the University of Miami. He has toured the country as a stand-up, is an alumnus of Chicago's Second City Theatre, and has written and starred in three critically acclaimed solo shows ("I want Someone to Eat Cheese With," "Uncomplicated," and "Concentrated").

Jeff's hobbies include eating puddin' and taking naps.
