Rob Schneider

Hot on the heels of his recent sold out US stand up tour (his first for 17 years), Emmy-nominated actor Rob Schneider, well known for his trademark blend of character and comedic acting has today announced that he will be bringing his hilarious stand up show to the UK for the very first time. He will be performing 2 very special stand up shows in London on 4th and 5th July as part of the E4 Udderbelly event at the Southbank Centre.

 Schneider began writing jokes as a teenager, appearing at local venues. After opening for comedians such as Jay Leno and Jerry Seinfeld, he made his major network television debut in 1987 on “The David Letterman Show.” In 1990 Lorne Michaels saw Schneider’s appearance on HBO’s “13th Annual Young Comedians Special” and hired him to be a regular on “Saturday Night Live.” During his four seasons at “SNL,” Schneider was nominated for three Emmys and a Peabody Award.

He is well known for his longtime relationship with Adam Sandler and Sandler’s production company, Happy Madison. Schneider has starred in several Happy Madison projects, including “Bedtime Stories,” “You Don’t Mess With The Zohan,” “The Benchwarmers,” “50 First Dates,” “The Longest Yard,” “Eight Crazy Nights,” “Little Nicky” and “Mr. Deeds.” Also for Happy Madison, Schneider co-wrote and starred in “Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo,” “Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo,” “The Hot Chick” and “The Animal.”

This summer, Rob stars in Sony’s “Grown Ups”, a comedy about five old friends reuniting 30 years after their high school graduation. Other soon to be released films for Schneider include romantic comedy “You May Not Kiss the Bride”, college comedy “American Virgin” and drama “The Chosen One” which he also co-wrote and co-produced.

Bound to be one of the hottest comedy tickets around this year, so make sure you don’t miss out!
