Now, the Emmy Award-winning comic is taking the stage at Connecticut’s Ridgefield Playhouse, where she will almost surely deliver an evening of bountiful laughs.

At this point, Paul Blart: Mall Cop star Kevin James is pretty much a household name.

Fresh off an appearance in Adam Sandler’s Netflix film Sandy Wexler, as well as a voicework role on Hotel Transylvania 3: Summer Vacation, James is making his way to Tarrytown for a night of cutting comedy.
