Star of the hit series Bob Hearts Abishola and Mike & Molly, Billy Gardell is taking his killer standup routine to Quezada’s. As a standup, 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.
Gardell has two comedy specials out. Billy Gardell: Halftime which premiered on Comedy Central in 2011 and Billy Gardell Presents Road Dogs on Showtime in 2013. A native of Pittsburgh who currently lives in Los Angeles, Gardell loves Steeler football, stand-up comedy and his wife Patty, and son Will.
