Resorts Casino Hotel in Atlantic City announced it will present the hilarious comedy of Rodney Carrington in the Superstar Theater, Saturday, July 17, 2010.

Carrington is back on tour full time after starring in his own TV show on ABC called Rodney. He recently appeared in the motion picture, Beer for My Horses, which he co-wrote and co-starred in with country music star Toby Keith. He also co-starred in the hit music video by Trace Adkins, "I Got My Game On," which won three awards on the 2008 CMT Music Video Awards, including "Male Video of the Year," and "Video Director of the Year". Rodney won "Best Supporting Character of the Year" for his role.

All of this follows on the heels of his many projects and accomplishments in 2007. King of the Mountains was released April 3, 2007 and debuted at the top of the comedy charts. King of the Mountains includes a live recording of Rodney's stand-up and five song tracks (one live and four studio recorded), including the hilarious anthem "Show Them to Me" and the deeply personal "My Angel Friend."The album was followed by a Comedy Central special (April 14, 2007); his first DVD, Rodney Carrington Live at the Majestic Theatre (April 2007); and a hard cover book, Coming Clean (September, 2007).

Rodney broke through with his major label debut Hangin' With Rodney in 1998. The album, which featured the fan favorite song "Fred" sold more than 475,000 copies and established Rodney, with his trademark black cowboy hat, boots, and Texas twang, as the king of middle class comedy. The next few years saw four more Top 10 albums, all of which continue to receive major radio airplay on both country and rock formats.

Rodney Carrington will appear the Superstar Theater at Resorts on Saturday, July 17 at 8 p.m. Tickets are priced at $65 and $55 and can be purchased in person at the Resorts Box Office, by calling Ticketmaster at 1.800.745.3000, or by logging onto www.ticketmaster.com or www.resortsac.com
