Stand-Up Sensation and International Fan Favorite Jeremy Hotz Headlines Comix at Foxwoods on February 12th

Comix at Foxwoods will host renowned stand-up comedian Jeremy Hotz for a three-night, four-show performance beginning Feb. 12 at 8:00 p.m.

One of the most unique stand-up comics working today, Canadian-born Jeremy Hotz has quickly become a proven international success. With stellar performances at the Montreal Comedy Festival, “Just For Laughs” and his sold out Canadian theater tour, “What A Miserable Tour This Is...,” as well as performances all over the United States, Europe and Australia, Hotz continues to grab audiences with his completely original and confused, yet very astute, observational comedy.

Hotz is a favorite throughout the most prestigious theaters and stand-up comedy clubs across Canada and the US, including the world famous Laugh Factory and Improv in both Las Vegas and Los Angeles. He’s has also headlined HBO’s esteemed comedy festival in Aspen, Colorado.

In 1997, he performed at the Just For Laughs Comedy Festival in Montreal and received a standing ovation after his debut performance at the festival’s prestigious television gala. He returned to the Just For Laughs Comedy Festival in 1999, 2002, 2003, 2005 (voted Best Performer by the, “Globe and Mail”), 2007, 2008 (Chosen as Best in Fest by the, “Montreal Gazette”) 2011 and 2012 where he was one of the hosts for the, “Just for Laughs” TV series for The Comedy Network.

International recognition came quick for Hotz, as American studios and networks immediately showed interest and made multiple offers for major development deals. Hotz made his late night talk show debut appearance on, “The Late Show with David Letterman,” followed by five appearances on, “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.” Hotz has also appeared on Comedy Central with his own half hour stand-up special and was on MTV’s, “1/2 Hour Comedy Hour.” The comedian also filmed a one-hour TV special, “What a Miserable Show This Is...” for CTV.

Beyond his stand-up comic merits, Hotz is also a talented actor who appeared in the fourth season of HBO Canada’s, “Call Me Fitz,” and has appeared in the feature films,
“My Favorite Martian” and “Speed 2.” He’s starred in the four-part mini-series, “Married Life” on Comedy Central and was nominated for a Gemini Award for the CBC’s, “OH CANA-DUH.” Hotz was the recipient of a Gemini Award for “Best Performance in a Comedy Show or Series” for his work in the celebrated series, “The Newsroom” on the CBC and PBS in America.

Hotz was also a staff writer and performer on the critically acclaimed, “Jon Stewart Show,” and received a Gemini nomination for, “Best Writing in Comedy or Variety Show or Series” for his half hour comedy special, “Whatever Happened to Jeremy Hotz?”

In 2008, he was honored with the Dave Broadfoot, Comic Genius Award at the Canadian Comedy Awards, which is the most prestigious comedy award in the country. Following that year, he was awarded Best Male Stand-Up 2009.

Most recently, after headlining the Melbourne, Sydney and Auckland Comedy Festivals, Hotz was awarded the Jury Prize - Best International Performer at the Sydney Comedy Festival. His 2013, “Magical Misery” tour across Canada was also a smashing success.
