Billy Gardell to Perform at Van Wezel, 4/29

Accomplished stand-up comedian, actor and voice artist Billy Gardell takes the stage at the Van Wezel Performing Arts Hall on Friday, April 29th at 8:00pm. Gardell took the long road to Hollywood, stopping at every small-town lounge, military base and comedy club along the way. His comedy act eventually led him to Los Angeles where his dedication to acting, along with touring as a stand-up comedian, only intensified. Today, the actor-comedian stars in the CBS hit television series Mike & Molly as Officer Mike Biggs and hosts the new game show Monopoly Millionaires' Club on ABC.

As a stand-up comedian, Gardell's show is a powerhouse. His grounded, matter-of-fact point of view strikes a sturdy chord with American audiences. Anecdotes about his difficult childhood, wild adolescence and new family life are delivered with the skill of a seasoned craftsman. Be prepared for an evening of engaging stories and many laughs with Billy Gardell!
