Brad Garrett at Avalon Theatre

Best known for his role as Robert Barone on the hit CBS series “Everybody Loves Raymond,” this three-time Emmy Award winner was only 23 years old when he made his first appearance on “The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson,” making him one of the youngest comedians ever to perform on the program.

From becoming the first $100,000 grand champion winner in the comedy category of Star Search, to headlining gigs at several national venues, Garrett's career was taking off. He landed opening spots for legends including Diana Ross and Liza Minnelli, worked at The Sands Hotel in Las Vegas with Frank Sinatra, Caesar's Palace with David Copperfield, and Smokey Robinson, Harrah's with Sammy Davis Jr. and The Beach Boys, to Radio City Music Hall with Julio Iglesias. In 1989, the Las Vegas Review Journal named him the Best Comedian working on the strip.

Apart from his supporting role in "Everybody Loves Raymond," he has also done voice-overs and appeared in a few films and co-starred in the ABC series “How to Live with Your Parents for the Rest of Your Life.”
