(NEW BRUNSWICK, NJ) -- State Theatre presents Howie Mandel on Thursday, March 10, 2016 at 8:00pm. A talented comedian, actor, television host, and voice actor, Mandel is also a judge on NBC’s America's Got Talent. Tickets range from $35-$75.
Howie Mandel has remained a constant force in show business for over 30 years. One night during a trip to Los Angeles he was coaxed by his friends to perform and there was a producer in the crowd who hired him to appear on the comedy game-show Make Me Laugh. His appearance on the show led to talk show appearances, a stint as Diana Ross’ opening act and eventually to the television series St. Elsewhere.
Mandel’s versatile career has encompassed all aspects of the entertainment spectrum, including television, film and stage. From his work on the Emmy-Award winning St. Elsewhere to the international animated children’s series Bobby’s World, Mandel has become a mainstay of the American comedy scene. In 2009, he released a funny, no-holds- barred memoir called Here’s the Deal: Don’t Touch Me, which revealed his ongoing struggle with OCD and ADHD and how it shaped his life and career. His memoir made the New York Times Bestseller list on its first week and remained on the list for several consecutive weeks.
Mandel is an executive producer of many shows with his production company, Alevy Productions, and serves as one of the judges on NBC’s hit talent competition series America’s Got Talent. Previously, Mandel received an Emmy® nomination for “Outstanding Host For A Reality or Reality-Competition Program” for Deal or No Deal and a Daytime Emmy® nomination for “Outstanding Game Show Host” for the syndicated version of the show.
Mandel’s Emmy® Award-nominated animated children series Bobby’s World ran eight seasons on FOX and now appears in syndication in 65 countries. As the series’creator and executive producer, he was closely involved in writing, as well as providing the voice of Bobby, Bobby’s dad and other characters. Mandel attributes the show’s success to drawing the story lines from real life. He has done countless comedy specials both on cable and network television. He has also hosted his own syndicated talk show, The Howie Mandel Show, and continues to be a mainstay on the talk-show circuit. Mandel continues to perform as many as 200 concerts a year throughout the U.S. and Canada.
