Comedian Patrick Garrity of NBC and CBS fame is continuing the Nugget’s comedy lineup on Friday, July 15. Garrity’s topics range from personal experiences to unique observations about life. He has been featured on NBC’s and CBS’s “Comedy Night School.” Starting comedy at an early age, Garrity has developed into a veteran of the road.

He filmed his first US national spot in the “LOL Comedy Festival” on Showtime USA.

Carlos Rodriguez, voted Best Comic in Sacramento two consecutive years, is headlining at the Nugget on July 29.
