Fans of David Slade are sure to be treated to a weekend of raucous wit when the in-your-face funnyman unveils his live! comedy show at the Venetian in Las Vegas end of the week.
September 18th thru September 20th.
David Spade was born in Birmingham Michigan (1964) and raised in Scottsdale & Casa Grande (Arizona) respectively.
The sometimes-troubled (drug-related issues) star was first spotted by a casting agent at "The Improv" in Los Angeles many moons ago.
On the heels of this auspicious moment, the Hollywood hopeful was signed to camp it up in the the 4th feature in the "Police Academy" franchise "Citizens on Partrol" (1987).
From there, the quirky performer sping-boarded to the big time when he became a regular cast member on the highly-rated (classic comedy skit-hit) "Saturday Night Live".
Undoubtedly, though, it was a handful of smarty-pants characters in a variety of sketches in the second season (in particular the portrayal of a highly disinterested airline steward who bids each passenger adieu with a very sardonic "buh-bye") that launched his career into the stratosphere.
There was no looking back for David after that!
Spade is also well-known for his right-on impersonations of noteworthy luminaries in the biz such as actor Michael J. Fox, and musicians Kurt Cobain and Tom Petty during his tenure.
Feature film pairings with the likes of Chris Farley in "Tommy Boy" turned out memorable performances, too.
Spade's ubiquitious talents have been touted by the industry as well.
He earned an Emmy nomination for his portrayal of off-beat skirt-chasing secretary by the name of "Dennis Finch" on "Just Shoot Me!" (1997).
Catch the gig in Vegas, eh?
Opulence of Venetian
