Billy Gardell to perform on Saturday, December 3, 2016

Tickets available to Thrasher-Horne Center members now!
Billy Gardell will perform at Thrasher-Horne Center on Saturday, December 3rd, 2016, at 7:30 PM. Thrasher-Horne Center Members can buy tickets now, but the show will not be available to the general public until May 16th. These tickets will go quickly, so don’t miss your chance to see this hilarious show!
Billy Gardell took the long road to Hollywood, stopping at every small town lounge, military base and comedy club along the way. His comedy act took him to Los Angeles, where his dedication to acting, along with touring as a stand-up comedian, allowed him to grow consistently in both arenas. His stand-up show is a powerhouse. His grounded, down-to-earth point of view strikes a strong chord with American audiences. Stories about his rough childhood, wild adolescence and new family life are executed with the skill of a master craftsman.

 “Whenever I realize I'm being a goofball; I write it down. When I release the joke onstage, I love watching the effect it has on the audience. No one wants to see someone talk who takes themselves too seriously.” Billy Gardell

Best known for his role of Officer Mike Biggs on the CBS Hit television series, MIKE & MOLLY, Gardell is also the host of a new game show, MONOPOLY MILLIONAIRE'S CLUB, based on the hit board game and produced by the team behind Deal Or No Deal.  Gardell also co-starred in the critically acclaimed television series “Lucky." His other television credits include Yes Dear, Judging Amy, My Name is Earl, The Practice, Monk, and Gary the Rat.

“You start realizing that maybe you're the one night a month that people have out, and they don't need to hear your political views or how dark you can get. They just want to laugh for an hour and go home. Once I wrapped my head around that, my act evolved accordingly.” Billy Gardell

As a standup comic, his comedy specials, "Billy Gardell: Halftime," premiered on Comedy Central and "Billy Gardell Presents Road Dogs" premiered on Showtime. In addition, he makes regular appearances on "NFL Today" on CBS Sports.

  1. As funny as he is, Billy Gardell is absolutely right when he says that twenty somethings spend way to much time texting. It's a wonder they can cross the street without getting hit by a bus. They never look up.
