The three-night performance schedule will end with Levy’s “Nasty Show,” on Saturday, May 2, at 10:30 p.m. 

Tickets are available for pre-sale through Comix and Ticketmaster. Regular sale tickets can be purchased in advance for $20 to $50. The show is for mature audiences only.

Levy received his first taste of stand-up in 1993 as a member of the "Half Pint Players," a teen-age improvisation group in Stamford. As an Emerson College student, he began performing at open mics and other venues, where people were more focused on beer than what the wannabe comics were saying. 

During his sophomore year, Levy was chosen to compete at the “HBO US Comedy Arts Festival” in Aspen, Colo., where he won the title of “Funniest College Comedian.” Since then, Levy has performed at the “Montreal Just For Laughs Comedy Festival” numerous times and has made TV appearances on Comedy Central‘s “Premium Blend,“ “Comedy Central Presents,” “The Late Late Show,“ and “Chelsea Lately,“ where he was a regular guest on the round table. 

When he’s not cracking jokes, Levy dabbles in film production and directing. Levy produced, wrote, and starred in, “My Long Distance Relationship,” a 10-part web series for Crackle. In 2013, Levy collaborated with Jensen Karp to create, “Baby Talk,” a live comedy show where three to four comedians ask for parenting advice from children between the ages of 5 and 10. The show is held at the Nerd Melt Showroom in Los Angeles. 

He was recently in New York City filming “I Have To Go In A Minute Show,” a daily comedy show, which is produced College Humor and directed by Todd Strauss-Schulson. Levy also had a cameo in “A Very Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas,” and starred in the Comedy Central pilot, “Let it Ride.”
