One of today’s most successful comedians, Louie Anderson, is coming to the Columbus Hollywood Casino, this Friday, April 12. Whether it is on the nightly hit series “Family Feud,” or appearing on different late night shows Anderson is beloved around the country.
Anderson’s stand up is always accompanied with standing-room-only crowds and he has been a mentor for rising comics everywhere.
By sharing the ups and downs of his childhood in Minnesota, Anderson has created comedy routines that relate to everyone who comes to see him.
Anderson made his debut on the Tonight Show, with Johnny Carson in 1984 and after that night the rest is history. Comedy specials soon followed before he started his film career staring in classics like “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off” and “Coming to America.”
The multi-talented artist has conquered not only the comedy world, but made multiple guest appearances on hit TV shows and released bestselling books throughout his career.
Anderson’s most recent television apperance was on the 2013 ABC reality TV Serious, “Splash.” This television series draws various celebrites from actors to athletes to even musical artists.
