HOUSTON — A die-hard Steelers fan, Billy Gardell got into stand-up comedy after a bet from his co-workers that he wouldn't jump on stage at an open mic night. He took the bet and he owes them his career, as he spent the next 20 years in comedy, touring the nation, before landing the male lead role opposite Melissa McCarthy in CBS's smash hit, "Mike and Molly."
That show ran for 6 years and Billy has been a hot ticket ever since, most recently being seen on CMT's "Sun Records" and CBS's "Young Sheldon." He's currently on a comedy tour and is stopping by the Joke Joint Comedy Showcase this weekend.
