Off The Hook Comedy Club presents Billy Gardell - Marco Island

Billy isn't your average Hollywood success story. No GQ genetics, no family in the business, no coattails to ride. Billy took the long road to Hollywood, stopping at every small town honky-tonk, military base and comedy club along the way. Anywhere he could find a live audience. Billy started early in stand up and got good fast; headlining some clubs before he was legal at the door. But that didn't stop him from being as big a hit at the bar as he was on stage. His acting career has been on the rise with regular guest appearances on hit prime time shows like "My Name is Earl" (NBC), "The Practice" (ABC), "Yes Dear" (CBS), "Monk" (USA), "Judging Amy" (CBS), and "Gary the Rat" (Spike), as well as a co-staring role in the critically acclaimed FX series "Lucky". He made his major film debut alongside Anthony Quinn and Sylvester Stallone in "Avenging Angelo" and has a memorable scene with Billy Bob Thornton in the Cohen Brother's "Bad Santa". His grounded, down-to-earth point of view hits 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.
