“King of Queens” and “Fargo” Star Gary Valentine Graces Comix at Foxwoods Thursday November 13

MASHANTUCKET, Conn. - Nov. 3, 2014 - PRLog -- Comix at Foxwoods will play host to “King of Queens” star and stand-up favorite Gary Valentine for a three-night, four-performance show, which gets under way on Thursday, Nov. 13 at 8:00 p.m.

Valentine is
well known for his nine seasons as “Cousin Danny” on the
hit CBS sitcom, “The King of Queens.” In addition to appearing
on screen, he co-wrote multiple episodes of “The King of Queens,” which
he claims are the best. Elsewhere on the small screen, Valentine had a recurring role in the Emmy-winning FX show “Fargo” and notably appeared on the television show “Men of a Certain Age,” which was written and directed by Ray Romano, and met with critical acclaim. He has starred in his own half hour special on Comedy Central along with hosting “The X Show” on FX.

Valentine got his start in show business on the stand-up comedy stage. After an appearance at the “Montreal Comedy Festival,” he left his native New York City for heavier traffic in Los Angeles. There, Valentine quickly landed spots on various talk shows including, “The Late Late Show with Craig Kilborn,” “Late Night with Conan O’Brien,” and the “Tonight Show with Jay Leno,” among others. He’s been headlining comedy clubs and theaters ever since.

On the big screen, Valentine has worked alongside such Hollywood heavyweights as Matt Damon and Greg Kinnear (“Stuck on You”) and Adam Sandler (“I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry”). In addition to a number of specials for the Comedy Central Network, as well as a cameo in Jerry Seinfeld's lauded documentary, “Comedian,” Valentine can be seen in such films as “Paul Blart: Mall Cop,” “Zookeeper,” and “Poolboy: Drowning Out the Fury,” along with the independent short film “Alive ‘n’ Kickin.“ Valentine’s current project, “Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2” is in post- production and is expected to be released in April 2015.

Valentine also made frequent appearances as a round table comedian on the popular E! Network late-night talk show “Chelsea Lately.”
