Jimmy Shubert
Jimmy Shubert has built an impressive resume as an actor, both in film and on television. As a comedian, he is one of the busiest comedians working today. After becoming a finalist on NBCâs âLast Comic Standingâ and, being seen on Comedy Central as the closing act on Dave Atellâs Comedy Underground. He also just wrapped post-production on his brand new hour special entitled âZero Toleranceâ â soon to be seen on a premium cable network.
From headlining A list comedy clubs, casinos, theaters across the country. Shubertâs New-hour special âZero Toleranceâ is a theatrical presentation of Shubertâs stand-up persona of a blue-collar working manâs man. He combines the outlook of a modern-day Archie Bunker with an utterly real-world sensibility to create signature pieces of comedy, on Therapy cats, Smart Phones, Male grooming and, the dumbing down of America. Shubert loves playing the part of a pop culture Iconoclast.
In television, Shubert is also known for his recurring role on âKing of Queensâ for five years and several appearances on âEntourageâ. Jimmy has a wide range as an actor and has played everything from a prison guard in a hostage crisis to a murder victim on âMonk.â Heâs worked with such marquee names as Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie, Charlize Theron, Katie Holmes, Kevin James, James Caan, and the late Robin Williams. On the small screen, He recently did a guest star on IFCâs âMaronâ ABCâs âBack in the gameâ with James Caan, on the CBS comedy â2 Broke Girlsâ, He played Betty Whites' neighbor. He appeared on Disneyâs hit show âZeke and Lutherâ as Bobby Diceyâ-Worldâs Greatest Daredevil, and âBarely Legalâ a pilot presentation about a dysfunctional family law firm, other TV credits include â âHeist,â âThe Loop,â âER,â âReno 911,â âRude Awakenings,â âAngel,â âLucky,â âNew Car Smell,â âSonny with a Chanceâ and âYouth In Revolt.â
It was Jimmyâs performance as the lollipop-sucking strip club bouncer Vic jr. in Columbia Picturesâ âGoâ, directed by Doug Liman, that jumpstarted his film career. He then starred in a short film, âVelocity Rules,â for producer Brett Ratner and director Patty Jenkins (âMonster & Wonder Woman â) He has since landed roles in numerous films such as Jerry Bruckheimerâs âCoyote Ugly,â Fox Searchlight Picturesâ âOne Hour Photoâ, âThe Italian Jobâ, and âMr. and Mrs. Smithâ. He starred in a short film entitled âWedding Jimmy,â and a feature entitled âTales from the Cribâ, it is currently making the rounds on the festival circuit soon to be theatrically released.
Jimmy recorded his first half-hour special for Comedy Central Presents at the Hudson Theater in New York City, which received rave reviews from critics and a standing ovation from the discerning New York audience. In addition, he has released three comedy albums, âAnimal Instinctsâ âPandemoniumâ & âAlive & Kickin,â were produced by Grammy-winning producer Dan Schlissel and Stand Up Records. A veteran of live performance, Jimmy has performed all over the United States twice, China, Honk Kong, Singapore, Canada, Ireland, Mexico, Korea and, he along with Drew Carey, performed for the troops in the Middle East and Afghanistan as part of the âAmerica Supports Youâ program for the Defense Department and Armed Forces Entertainment.
A Philly native, growing up as the son of a Philadelphia Detective wasnât easy for Jimmy. He saysâ It was like having Lieutenant Colombo as a roommate, most of my childhood was an interrogation scene from Law & Order â Jimmy and his band of six brothers were always getting into trouble, and being the middle child, Jimmy learned at an early age that a sense of humor could get him through any situation. He attended the Philadelphia High School for Creative and Performing Arts and majored in Drama. It was from those experiences in acting class that Jimmy knew he wanted to pursue a career in Show Business. Jimmy took an interest in Magic at 9 years old and by the age of 15, he had become an accomplished professional magician. He later channeled that energy into stand-up comedy. His unique ability to see the humor in social trends and deliver his poignant and hilarious point of view on world issues has made Shubert one of the most respected and original comedians working today.
Jimmy started performing right out of high school in comedy clubs around the Philly area. He later moved to Los Angeles and started working at the Comedy Store. It was at the Comedy Store where he later met Sam Kinison, and after taking him offstage on a Motorcycle at the Comedy Storeâs Main room in front of a packed house, they became fast friends. Kinison liked Shubertâs cockeyed chutzpah and included him as one of the original âOutlaws of Comedyâ which he toured with for five years, playing major casinos in Las Vegas and other venues like the Universal Amphitheater in front of audiences as large as 6,500 people. In 1997, after a well-recognized performance at the prestigious Just For Laughs Comedy Festival in Montreal, he was spotted by the late Brandon Tartikoff, who signed Jimmy to a holding deal to develop a pilot sitcom for him to star in at 20th Century Fox, which led to another holding deal and then finally a Pilot.
Jimmyâs comedy routine is usually performed with an observational point of view, in comedic short-story form, and typically focuses on poking fun at pop culture. As AllMusic.com put it, âHis confidence and lucid delivery enhances his humor, making even his most perverse moments hilarious.â

We ask that you please keep all conversations to a minimum during the show. It's a small room, and even whispering can be heard by the performers and people around you. If this seems like a no brainer, it's because you are sober. After a drink or two, it sometimes seems less obvious!
