Jimmy Shubert on Tour
A proud troublemaker with a sharp eye for the absurdities of popular culture and life in general, Jimmy Shubert has been a headliner at clubs, casinos, and theaters all over the U.S. for more than two decades now. With his made-in-Philly, proudly blue-collar sensibility and acerbic takes on male grooming, smartphones, and grocery self-checkout machines, Shubert brings the same no-nonsense attitude to his performances no matter what stage he's on.
He's seen quite a few of those since he first got up in front of audiences while still a teenager in Philadelphia. An accomplished professional magician by the age of 15, he then performed comedy right out of high school. While working at the legendary Comedy Store in Los Angeles, he developed a close friendship with Sam Kinison and toured as one of the iconic wildman's "Outlaws of Comedy" for five years.
In 1997, Shubert was one of the breakout performers at Just for Laughs in Montreal. The industry attention he attracted led to his successful career as an actor in film and television. Following his very memorable turn as a lollipop-sucking strip-club bouncer in the 1999 crime comedy 'Go,' he landed roles in such films as 'Coyote Ugly,' 'One Hour Photo,' 'The Italian Job,' and 'Mr. and Mrs. Smith.'
TV audiences may know him best from his recurring role on 'King of Queens' and season eight of 'Last Comic Standing,' along with appearances on 'Monk,' 'Entourage,' '2 Broke Girls,' 'ER,' and 'Reno 911.' His longtime pal Marc Maron - they both worked as doormen at the Comedy Store in the mid-'80s - also invited him to appear on his 'WTF' podcast and his IFC series 'Maron.'
Another fellow veteran of the clubs, Dave Attell picked Shubert to perform on 'Comedy Underground With Dave Attell,' the Comedy Central stand-up showcase that included Amy Schumer, Pete Davidson, and Ali Wong.
Further evidence of Shubert's onstage prowess can be found in his three comedy albums, his 2010 live DVD 'Alive & Kickin',' and his forthcoming special 'Zero Tolerance.' Of course, live is the best way to experience Shubert's brand of outlaw comedy and to hear observations that will satisfy the curiosity of anyone who ever wondered what Archie Bunker might've made of the era of Starbucks and therapy cats.
Jimmy put on a good show. He was hysterical. Opening act was funny too! Had a good time with the exception of seating. GA is fine now that I know that means pick any seat...but seats too close together. Some folks aren't as nice as others so not a pleasant experience to just about sit on their lap.
I have never laughed so hard at a comedy show and I have been to a few. These two guys were hilarious. I need the name of the black guy he was the best warm up comedian I have experiened. I went to a show starring T.K Kirkland who is one of my favorite comedians. However, his warm up acts were horrible! Jimmy Shubert is hilarious! The day after the show I was still laughing at his jokes of real world situations. I will definitely go to another show starring him and his warm up guy. By the way please email me his name. Thanks!
The show was good I don’t like comedy and the show was good
If you want sidesplitting laughter, yall need to see this comedian extraordinaire. I don’t take my word for it, see for yourself, he does not disappoint.
one of the best comedy shows i have ever seen the venue was awsome
Jimmy Shubert was amazing!! He is so funny, it's hard to breathe from laughing so hard! Anytime he is in my area, we see him.
Jimmy is a rock star on stage. His energy is better than Red Bull with Vodka.
