About
Billy Gardell works hard. He has no choice. He's from Pittsburgh. Hard work is the honor code in Pittsburgh, and Gardell lives by it.
And now all this hard work is paying off for Billy, he is the star of the new CBS hit comedy MIKE & MOLLY (Mondays at 9:30PM) where he plays Officer Mike Biggs. And on February 5, 2011, he stars in his own one hour stand-up Comedy Central special - BILLY GARDELL: HALFTIME. A DVD of the special will be released on February 8th.
Billy isn't your average Hollywood success story. No GQ genetics, no family in the business, no coattails to ride. He took the long road to get here, 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. After all, the kid was living his dream and following in the footsteps of his idol, Jackie Gleason.
As every comic quickly learns when they arrive in L.A., all those years of toiling in the clubs to become a great comic don't mean a thing in Hollywood. You start working your way up all over again. But before long, Billy have built quite impressive acting resume for himself with regular guest appearances on My Name is Earl, The Practice, Yes Dear, Monk, Judging Amy, Desperate Housewives as well as a co-starring role in the critically acclaimed FX series Lucky. On the big screen, Billy made his film debut alongside Anthony Quinn and Sylvester Stallone in Avenging Angelo and afterwards scored a rather memorable scene with Billy Bob Thornton in the Cohen Brother's Bad Santa.
Billy's dedication to acting, along with continuing to tour as a stand up, have allowed him to grow consistently stronger in both arenas. His stand up show is a powerhouse. 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.
In his spare time, Billy enjoys spending time with his son and following the Pittsburgh Steelers.

by G. L. on 4/30/19The Event Center at Hollywood Casino - Charles TownI lived in Pittsburgh and could really relate to his stories His warm up act(Creed) was funny
Rating: 5 out of 5 I thought he was extremely funny
by Wendy on 4/30/19The Event Center at Hollywood Casino - Charles TownBy using his own marriage/family his comments really hit home. He made me laugh, which I really needed. I had good messages about today's life and I think too, we can make a difference by not taking ourselves too serious and being kind. The seats were great. The tv screens could have been a little better as the light was too bright and couldn't really see his face for his expressions. I didn't feel he needed to use the F bomb so often. Not a prude, just wasn't necessary to make a point. Overall, I LOVED him. I watch him faithfully on Mike and Mollie. I hope to see him again. Thanks for a wonderful experience.

by G. on 4/29/19Sound Waves at Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Atlantic City - Atlantic CityHis type of humor most everyone can identify with and isn't offensive. Go out and see Billy...you won't regret it.

by William Dietrich on 4/29/19Sound Waves at Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Atlantic City - Atlantic CityBilly Gardell relates to the common person, done to earth, finds humor in every day circumstances . His humor doesn’t get old, I’ve seen him at least 5 times and he does repeat some of his jokes but they don’t loose their impact, and he isn’t over priced. I’ll will definitely see him again.

Rating: 3 out of 5 Good show
by Kathy on 4/8/19Beau Rivage Theatre - BiloxiEven though he was funny, I probably wouldn't see him again. He relies too much on the f word and "I'm rich, so f-off" for laughs so that got a little too predictable. The opening act and Billy were over in about an hour and 15 minutes.
Rating: 5 out of 5 Complete joy.

by Rush611 on 1/15/19Genesee Theatre - WaukeganI have seen a lot of comics, just about everyone out here, and I have to say that Billy Gardell is hands down one of the funniest I have ever seen. He has you laughing from the minute he hits the stage. Wonderful show.
Rating: 5 out of 5 Mostly all new material
by W. P. on 1/15/19Genesee Theatre - WaukeganA Laugh every minute. Everything Billy says you can relate to in real life. He is very smart, and talented explaining his life experiences with growing up in Pittsburgh meeting his Wife, struggles with alcoholism and drugs but most of all being a good Father to his Son. Well worth the price of entry

by JerryG1957 on 10/23/18The Paramount - HuntingtonGreat show...seems like a regular great guy. We were very lucky that his opening act couldn't make the show and he was able to bring an old friend to fill the spot...SNL's Darrell Hammond ( Bill Clinton ) who did a terrific job telling stories, jokes and a few impressions. if you get a chance check out Billy Gardell in a venue near you. You won't be disappointed.
Rating: 5 out of 5 Pleasant surprise
