Anthony Jeselnik - Variety's "10 Comics to Watch" - Readies for One-Night Performance at Fox Theater on October 17

Comix At Foxwoods presents Variety's "10 Comics to Watch," and the proclaimed "satanic prince of stand-up" Anthony Jeselnik.

Jeselnik, most famous for his appearances on “The Comedy Central Roast Of Donald Trump” and “The Comedy Central Roast Of Charlie Sheen,“ is a force to be reckoned with on-stage. He has rapidly emerged as the satanic prince of stand-up, and is a black-hearted joke-slinger with a ferocious and unstoppable will to power.

Throughout his illustrious comedic career Jeselnik has performed on “Conan,” “The Tonight Show,” “Jimmy Kimmel Live” and was the first ever stand-up comic to appear on “Late Night With Jimmy Fallon.” Anthony was named one of Variety’s “10 “Comics to Watch” and one of Comedy Central’s “Hot Comics in 2009.”

In 2010, Anthony released his critically acclaimed debut comedy album, “Shakespeare,” through Comedy Central Records. Following his Comedy Central Roasts of Charlie Sheen, Donald Trump and Roseanne Barr, Anthony released “Caligula,” his first hour-long special to critical acclaim.
