In 1989, only two years into the business and still not old enough to legally drink alcohol, Billy Gardell was the most requested act among the regular patrons at Bonkers Comedy Club in Orlando, Billy’s home club. Billy made several television appearances on ABC, Showtime, A&E and MTV, bringing him more attention to his rising talent. In 2006, Gardell released his first comedy album, "Billy Gardell: Throwback."
