| Article Title: | Comedian George Wallace Brings Comedy Show to Zanies June 24 & 25 |
| Article: | Join Comedian George Wallace for a night full of laughs when he brings his comedy show to Zanies on Friday, June 24 and Saturday, June 25. George’s most recognized material is his “Yo Mama” and “I Be Thinkin” jokes, which encourage audience participation. Every show, George selects a few people out of the crowd to go one on one in comical banter. His career set sail at the age of six when he had dreams of being a comedian. He knew he needed an education first so he attended college at the University of Akron, Ohio. Upon graduating with degrees in transportation and marketing, George entered the advertising work force. Still, George’s dream of being a comedian had a strong hold on him. Within a week of leaving the advertising field, he began to perform stand up comedy and was offered a job writing for The Red Foxx Show. His accomplishments include an American Comedy Award for “Best Stand Up Comedian” after being continually nominated four years in a row. George’s television credits include HBO One Night Stand, Hallmark’s movie Santa Jr. (2002), Seinfeld, The Parkers, Moesha, The Tonight Show, Oprah, Hollywood Squares, Late Show with David Letterman, Rosie O’Donnell, Live with Regis, Politically Incorrect, Entertainment Tonight, E! Entertainment, Extra and a guest-host on Later on NBC. As well as In the Heat of Night, Tall Hopes, The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air and Arliss. George also appeared in numerous films including The Wash, Three Strikes, Little Nicky, A Rage in Harlem, Punchline, Postcards from the Edge, Batmam Forever, and Ladykillers. Las Vegas loves their resident comedic headliner, but even more so, George loves Las Vegas in return. He had headlined his own show in Vegas as well as performed at other venues throughout the Strip in addition to comedy houses around the country.
