Drawing humor from real-life experiences, Bill Bellamy brings his clever comic routine to the Suncoast Showroom this weekend, March 6 and 7.
After winning numerous comedy competitions, Bellamy made his television debut on "Showtime at the Apollo." He caught the attention of comedy producers Bernie Brillstein and Russell Simmons, who signed him as a guest star of HBO's "Def Comedy Jam" in 1992. Bellamy went on to star in his own Showtime comedy special, "Booty Call," in 1996.
Bellamy became a staple of the MTV generation as host of "MTV Jams" in the late '90s. He continued his television career as the voice of the title character in "Cousin Skeeter" from 1998-2001, as a recurring character in "Men, Women & Dogs" in 2001 and 2002, and "Fastlane" in 2002 and 2003.
Bellamy made his feature film debut in 1997 in "Love Jones" and has gone on to star in numerous films, including "Any Given Sunday," "The Brothers" and "Lottery Ticket."
In June 2012, Bellamy's "Crazy Sexy Dirty" comedy special debuted on Showtime and later became available on DVD. Later in 2012, he starred in the syndicated comedy "Mr. Box Office," and launched his groundbreaking comedy tour "Ladies Night Out."
His numerous television appearances include "The Tonight Show," "Late Night with Conan O'Brien," "Live! With Regis & Kelly," "Today," "Entertainment Tonight," "Chelsea Lately," "Last Call with Carson Daly," "Lopez Tonight," and "The Wendy Williams Show."
