The "Pitbull of Comedy" Bobby Slayton Set to Begin Barking Center Stage at Comix at Foxwoods January 8

A true “comic’s comic,” Bobby Slayton, often referred to as “The Pitbull of Comedy,” has been performing his own intense style of stand-up comedy for over 20 years, becoming one of the most renowned, respected and energetic comics in the industry today.

Audiences around the country may recognize Slayton from his scene-stealing roles in movies such as “Get Shorty,” “Ed Wood,” “Bandits” and “Dreamgirls.” He’s been seen on numerous television shows including “The Tonight Show” and “Politically Incorrect.”

Slayton’s many appearances on HBO have included “Comic Relief “and his own stand-up special. Slayton was a series regular on the HBO series “Mind of a Married Man,” and played ‘Joey Bishop’ opposite Ray Liotta and Joe Mantegna in the critically acclaimed film “The Rat Pack.”

The NY Daily News called Slayton “Armed and Dangerous”, the Las Vegas Review Journal pointed out that “Slayton’s refusal to comprise his art has always made him worth a special trip” and the American Comedy Awards voted him “Funniest Male Stand-up Comic of the Year.”

Slayton’s distinctive gravelly voice has often been heard on animated shows like “Dr. Katz’” and “Family Guy,” as well as many popular radio shows across the country including “Howard Stern,” “Kevin & Bean,” and “Tom Leykis.”
