B.T. in Concert
B.T. is a ball of energy behind the mic. He's a mile a minute when he gets going, and he embraces the heck out of his style. "This is who I am, otherwise I'd be that guy at work who never shuts up...so I figured I'd get paid for it," he told KMTV-Omaha.
His stand-up comedy strikes at relatable themes that connect with most audiences ("Brad Pitt can play any role in Hollywood except a faithful husband"). After getting on stage for Dry Bar Comedy following a hip replacement, he said he was watching the Olympics and realized he couldn't do any of the sports, except for curling: "Curling is what happens when a janitor and a bowler have a kid."
He's been a resident of Indianapolis for the past decade and jokes about his affinity for the city on his recent comedy album, ‘Tales from the Gemini' ("If you're a race car driver or a racist, this is a great place to live...and if you're a race car driving racist, this is the SPOT! I love this place!"). He riffs on everything from politics to the folly of thieves who burglarize his apartment while drinking his wine in the process. The lively B.T. closes 2018 with a run at the Brad Garrett Comedy Club in Las Vegas ahead of his 2019 tour schedule.
