Billy Gardell took the long road to Hollywood, stopping at every small town honky tonk, military base, and comedy club. Billy started early in stand-up and got good fast, headlining some clubs before he was legal at the door. His stand up show transformed into a powerhouse. His grounded, down-to-earth point of view hits a strong chord with audiences. Stories about his rough childhood, wild adolescence, and new family life are executed with the skill of a master craftsman. His comedy specials include “Billy Gardell: Halftime” on Comedy Central and “Billy Gardell Presents Road Dogs” on Showtime. Billy’s acting resume includes regular guest appearances on hit prime time shows like “My Name is Earl,” “The Practice,” “Yes Dear,” “Monk,” “Judging Amy,” and “Gary the Rat,” as well as a co-starring role in the critically acclaimed FX series “Lucky.” All his hard work paid off when Billy was cast to co-star the CBS hit sitcom, “Mike & Molly.” More recent credits include “Undrafted,” “Dancer and the Dame,” “Monopoly Millionaires’ Club” and the movies “Bad Santa” and “You, Me and Dupree.” Billy’s dedication to acting, along with continuing to tour as a stand up, have allowed him to grow consistently stronger in both arenas. Billy Gardell is a HUGE act! See him.
