Embassy Theatre announced this week that comedian and bona fide movie star Kevin James will be making a stop at the historic theater on Friday, Sept. 29.
Yep, you heard me right. James, the man from The King of Queens, Paul Blart: Mall Cop, Grown Ups, Hitch, and many more will bring his everyman comedy and warm deadpan delivery to stages across the country aboard The Irregardless Tour.
In my household, there was a time I couldn’t walk through the living room without his mug on the TV as my kids laughed. Now, we have the chance to see him in person.
Folks can expect to hear hilarious stories from his youth, his family, his life in TV and film, and his love for sports. Don’t miss your chance to see stand-up, TV, and film legend-in-the-making Kevin James.
Tickets will be on sale Friday, March 3, at 10 a.m. via ticketmaster.com and fwembassytheatre.org and in person at the STAR Bank box office at the Embassy.
