I chewed up a lot of Florida highway when I was starting out. Used to come to Tampa two or three times a year for about 10 years straight. Billy Gardell chewfloridahighway Change image and share on social
Whenever I realize I'm being a goofball, I write it down. When I release the joke onstage, I love watching the effect it has on the audience. No one wants to see someone talk who takes themselves too seriously. Billy Gardell audienceeffectgoofball share on social
I like those older theaters - the acoustics are perfect, I mean, you just have that feel of there's been a thousand shows in there and now you get to be one. Billy Gardell acousticfeelold Change image and share on social
Everybody wants to be a better version of themselves - everybody. And I hope one day I can lose some weight. Maybe, who knows, I'll hire myself a trainer and a fancy cook. In five years, maybe I'll be an action hero. Then again, maybe I'll just be this guy. Who knows? But the fun part is embracing the human side of that. Billy Gardell actioncookday share on social

Look, you know, you can't please everybody. I'm a stand-up comic. I know that. It doesn't matter how funny you are and how well you do, there's two people that are going to walk out of there hating you. Billy Gardell comicfunnyhate share on social
Stand-up will always come first. I've been doing it for 22 years, and nothing compares to that connection you have with the audience. It's euphoric. Billy Gardell audiencecompareconnection Change image and share on social
'Mike & Molly' exists in a world where we don't just say a snarky line, make a crazy face, and walk out of the room. There's actually some tender moments here, too. Billy Gardell crazyexistface Change image and share on social
