Comix at Foxwoods will play host to the hilarious Joe Bartnick and Paul Virzi of "Bill Burr's: All In Comedy Tour" for a three-night four-performance stand-up event beginning on Thursday, May 21, 2015 at 8:00 p.m. and ending with their "Nasty Show" on Saturday, May 23, 2015 at 10:30 p.m.

Since its inception, Burr's "All In Comedy Tour" has been a fan favorite amongst the masses. In 2014 alone, the tour performed 50 plus shows in over 15 cities. This time around, Bill Burr has brought together two of his favorite comics to man the tour: Joe "The Rose Bowl Tail Gate Legend" Bartnick and Paul "Dude I Called It" Virzi.

Joe Bartnick has a loose definition of being "politically correct" and amplifies those opinions through a hardline gut-busting approach, which gets audiences laughing out loud on topics most fear to bring up. Bartnick was born in Pittsburgh, PA where he learned his love of eating, drinking and sports.

Bartnick began performing stand-up comedy in San Francisco in the late '90s and quickly ascended from headlining coffee shops, bars and Laundromats to taking center stage at some of the most prestigious performance venues in the country including The Warfield, The Wiltern, Heinz Hall and The Chicago Theater. He's also appeared on several television shows including the "ESPY's" and "NFL on FOX."

Bartnick has a penchant for writing, as well. He penned the best selling eBook, "You Might Be a Douchebag" and his views on hockey can be seen on PunchDrunk.com. He can be heard talking hockey all year round on the Sideshow Network's, "Puck Off" and on WDVE during the NHL season. Bartnick talks everything else on All Thing's Comedy's, "Insensitivity Training."

Paul Virzi brings a New York City attitude to his real life story telling. He was only nine years old when he witnessed Eddie Murphy's, "Raw." Although he couldn't understand all the jokes and probably should not have been listening to explicit language, he instantly became intrigued by the idea of speaking into a microphone and making a crowd of people happy.

Virzi can be heard on his popular podcast "The Virzi Effect," which is available on iTunes. Some of Virzi's credits include TV appearances on AXS TV's, "Gotham Comedy Live" and FOX's, "Redeye." Virzi has also written for ESPN's, "ESPY Awards" and has made numerous appearances at the prestigious "Just For Laughs Comedy Festival" In Montreal and most recently was "SXSW" in Austin, TX.

During the early stages of his stand-up career, Virzi was performing anywhere he could. He'd dominate local small-town contests, crack-up hole-in-the-wall bar patrons, and even stand front and center in peoples' living rooms holding an empty Corona bottle as a microphone. Virzi now headlines major venues all across the U.S.
