Steve Rannazzisi Star of FX's "The League" To Take the Stage at Fox Theater at Foxwoods February 21st

Comix At Foxwoods presents Steve Rannazzisi, the star of FX’s “The League,” for a one-night stand-up performance at the Fox Theater at Foxwoods on Saturday, Feb. 21 at 8:00 p.m.

Rannazzisi grew up in Long Island, and majored in Theater and Film at the State University of New York. After graduation and a short-lived desk job, Steve left the Big Apple and moved out to Los Angeles to pursue his dream career in Entertainment.

Upon arrival to the west coast, Rannazzisi’s first job was as a doorman at the world-famous “Comedy Store” on Sunset Boulevard. It was there that Steve honed his skills amongst some of the most prolific comics in the business, such as Eddie Griffin, Joe Rogan and Andrew Dice Clay. Rannazzisi also crafted and fine-tuned his character acting and improvisational skills with “The Groundlings School” and “Comedy Troupe.”

Rannazzisi got his first taste of television success in 2003 as one of the smart-ass cast members on MTV’s “Punk’d.” After being recognized on stage by Ashton Kutcher at the “Comedy Store” in West Hollywood, Steve signed on for the show.

Rannazzisi’s successes on “Punk’d” eventually evolved into a role as a series regular on ABC’s “Big Day,” which chronicled the hilarious happenings of a couple’s wedding. Steve played the wise cracking best-man “Skobo.” Rannazzisi was later casted as a lead opposite Heather Locklear in ABC’s “See Jayne Run.” Rannazzisi’s other small screen credits include guest starring in the FOX series “Kitchen Confidential,” HBO’s “Sex in the City,” and NBC’s “Third Watch.” He has also performed on Comedy Central’s “Premium Blend,”

Rannazzisi big screen credits include an appearance opposite Eddie Murphy and Thomas Hayden Church in the Paramount feature film “Imagine That.” There he played “Kulik,” the levelheaded partner in the financial investment firm where Eddie Murphy worked. Rannazzisi also starred opposite Kevin James in the Sony Pictures blockbuster comedy “Paul Blart: Mall Cop.” He’s also appeared in the feature films “Summer of Sam” and “For Your Consideration.”

Most recently, Rannazzisi can be seen as “Kevin,” the League Commissioner on FX’s hit show “The League.” The critically acclaimed series revolves around six friends who participate in a fantasy football league and deals with a variety of situations that occur in their everyday lives. The semi-improvised comedy is in its sixth season, which premiered back in September of 2014.
