Comedian Bill Engvall Performs at Treasure Island Feb. 26-27

Comedian Bill Engvall will perform his side-splitting stand-up routine Thursday, Feb. 26 and Friday, Feb. 27 at 9 p.m. inside the Treasure Island Theatre.

Engvall plays Bill Pearson in his television show 'The Bill Engvall Show.' He portrays a family counselor, father of three and a devoted husband whose character deals with dysfunctional families at work and his own mixed-up family at home. He also hosts 'Country Fried Home Videos' on CMT. This show features video of real people in hilarious and surprising situations. Most recently, he starred in the movie 'Bait Shop' with Billy Ray Cyrus, which will air this summer on the USA Network and is available on DVD.

Engvall also is known for being a part of the Blue Collar Comedy Tour, which led to three concert films and a television show. Along with his movies, Engvall has starred in the television comedy specials 'Here's Your Sign, Live' and '15° Off Cool.'

Engvall got his start as a stand-up comic in Dallas, Texas before moving to Los Angeles to pursue television opportunities. Engvall made his rounds on the late-night talk show circuit and got his first big break with his premiere album 'Here's Your Sign.' The platinum-selling album held the No. 1 position on the Billboard Comedy Chart for several weeks.
