When starting his stand-up career, Gardell was nicknamed "Billy The Kid". At 17, he was able to mystify audiences and run circles around more experienced comics, quickly propelling him into the local headlining scene in Florida. The Florida
Comedy Club circuit was one of the nation's finest launching pads for fresh talent, such as Dan Whitney (Larry the Cable Guy), Saturday Night Live stars
Darrell Hammond and Jim Breuer, and MTV host Tom Rhodes.
Gardell took the long road to Hollywood, stopping at every small town lounge, military base and
Comedy Club along the way. His comedy act took him to Los Angeles, where his dedication to acting, along with touring as a stand-up comedian, allowed him to grow consistently in both arenas.
