In a Celebrity Comedy Appearance, on Saturday April 28th, Gilbert Gottfried in conjunction with Treehouse Comedy Productions will take the stage at Bobby V’s in Windsor Locks for an evening of not-so-typical stand-up comedy by one of the country’s most outrageous comedic artists. Gilbert Gottfried star of stage, film, and TV will perform one night for two shows at 7:00 and 9:15 .
Gilbert’s comedy career spans decades. He was a Saturday Night Live cast member back in the eighties, was featured on the last Donald Trump season of TV’s The Celebrity Apprentice, and more recently was the subject of critically acclaimed documentary “Gilbert”. His scene-stealing role in the Eddie Murphy film “Beverly Hills Cop II” launched his movie career and led to subsequent rolls in the “Problem Child” series I, II, III, “Look Who’s Talking Too”, “The Aristocrat’s”, “The Adventures of Ford Fairlane”, and “A Million Ways to Die in the West”.
Gilbert released his first book not so appropriately titled “Rubber Balls and Liquor”. Part memoir, part twisted social commentary and part scratches on the bathroom wall. Gilbert is regularly featured on the “Howard Stern Show” and the “The Tonight Show” and is often the “closer” on the Comedy Central Roasts.
Gilbert Gottfried’s irritating voice has become one of the most recognizable in the country. Yes, that was his voice as the AFLAC duck before he got fired for inappropriate Tsunami jokes. His voice has been utilized for countless other commercials heard around the globe. He has become one of the most sought-after voice-over talents in the world, having worked on the Disney classic “Aladdin”, the long running PBS Series “Cyberchase“, the Comedy Central series, “The Annoying Orange” and FOX’s “Family Guy”.
As a famed comic’s comic, Gottfried puts aside political correctness for his live performances and fires an onslaught of jokes that know no boundaries. Stephen King has said of Gottfried, “More than a national treasure, he’s a secret weapon. If we had Gilbert Gottfried in World War II, Hitler would have given up in 1942.”
