D.C. Benny to Perform at Comix at Foxwoods on Christmas

Comix at Foxwoods will host the versatile comedic genius, D.C. Benny for a three-night, four-performance stand-up event, which kicks off on Christmas Night at 8:00 p.m.

In the hard-hitting New York City comedy world, D.C. Benny is a heavyweight contender. His unorthodox style of comedic story-telling, seasoned with original characters, has earned him a rabid fan base of all shapes, sizes, shades and ages over the last 26 years.

As an English major at the University of Maryland, he entered a talent show where he got big laughs doing impressions of all of his professors. D.C. Benny soon became a fixture at local comedy clubs in the D.C. area, before moving to Brooklyn NY.

Once in New York, Benny made a name for himself as a white comic who was happy to work the urban rooms in addition to performing at the mainstream comedy clubs.

Benny killed on his first TV appearance on "Showtime At the Apollo" and has since performed all over the U.S. and toured internationally.

Aside from stand-up, Benny has been seen on "Law and Order," "As The World Turns," and has been in many feature films such as "Freedomland "with Samuel Jackson and John Singleton's "Illegal Tender." D.C. Benny has also been in numerous national commercials for Verizon, Dell, Volkswagon, Wendy's, and was the main character in the Budweiser "How You Doin'?" Superbowl spots.

His "Comedy Central Half Hour" is one of the highest rated in the network's history, and he was a Top 8 finalist in Season 8 of NBC's "Last Comic Standing." His weekly comedic story-telling show, "Urban Myth," also became an underground staple, where performers such as Dave Chapelle, Ben Bailey, Jim Gaffigan, Marc Maron, Jim Norton, and Colin Quinn would drop by and tell their true, funny, stories.
