BRAD GARRETT

Scottsdale Center for the

Performing Arts 

 

 

Brad Garrett earned three Emmy Awards playing Ray Romano’s big brother Robert on the iconic CBS series Everybody Loves Raymond. Returning to his standup-comedy roots in this one-man show, he tosses political correctness out the window and takes jabs at everyone, including the audience.

Opening for Brad Garrett will be Sam Fedele, who developed his high-energy style of comedy growing up on the mean streets of New Jersey. Being voted high school class clown was the first step in the development of this live-wire act. Sam spent the next six years honing his skills in the U.S. Marine Corps. Neither Sam nor the Marine Corps would ever be the same again.
