(ENGLEWOOD, NJ) -- One of the legendary names in comedy is coming to bergenPAC. For over 55 years, Don Rickles has been regarded among the world's funniest performers, appearing in top showrooms and concert halls throughout the U.S. and internationally. Rickles will bring his act to bergenPAC on Thursday, August 6 at 7:30pm.
It is well known that Rickles has nothing against the people he insults during his routines, and that it's part of the act. Sarcastically nicknamed "Mr. Warmth" due to his stage personality, most know him to be genial and pleasant. Many also say that being insulted by him is like "wearing a badge of honor".
A frequent guest on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson and The David Letterman Show as well as The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, he has acted in comedic and dramatic roles, but is widely known as an insult comic. Don Rickles is also the famous Mr. Potato Head in Toy Story 2 and 3, a feat with which his grandchildren are “more impressed” than by any of his other achievements.
