The Wonder Bread Years

The show’s strong sense of American pop culture earned it an invitation to represent the United States at the Vancouver International Comedy Festival! Showtime declared him "One of the five funniest people in America". Hazell was one of the four original writers for the NBC series "Seinfeld" and also served as Jerry Seinfeld’s opening act when on tour. Tickets: $25.00(in advance) $28.00(at the door)
