Reader support matters more than ever
We're in the final stretch of our summer campaign. Our goal is to raise $25,000 by August 9 to support the journalism our community relies on. Reader support is helping shape the future of local news.
In the eyes of comedian Billy Gardell, life isn’t that complex, and there’s plenty of joy to be found in simple pleasures like drinking, bad food and giving people you love a hard time. His material mines a down-to-earth, common-sense vein of comedy based on his blue-collar Pittsburgh roots. From his rowdy adolescence to his more recently domesticated home life, it’s classic material that’s easily appreciated by anyone not born with a silver spoon in his mouth. That material — combined with a laid-back, affable delivery — has led to a successful career that includes a busy touring schedule, a Comedy Central special this year and appearances on My Name Is Earl, Desperate Housewives, CSI and other popular television shows.
Gardell performs tonight at 8 and 10:15 p.m. at the Denver Improv, 8246 East 49th Avenue. To purchase tickets, $15, or for additional info, dates and showtimes, visit www.symfonee.com/improv or call 303-307-1777.
