Rob Schneider Brings the Laughs to Day Air Ballpark

By

Former Saturday Night Live and movie star, Rob Schneider, will take the stage at Day Air Ballpark on Thursday, August 12th at 7:30 pm.

After the success of the first comedy show featuring Preacher Lawson, we are very pleased to be working with East Coast Entertainment and the Comedy Zone to bring a second show to Dayton,” noted team president Robert Murphy.  “Mr. Schneider is obviously a household name with a very impressive body of work.  This will be a lot of fun.”

A stand-up comic and veteran of the award-winning NBC sketch comedy series Saturday Night Live, Schneider has gone on to a successful career in films, television and continues his word-wide standup tour.

Born in San Francisco, Schneider’s family is of Filipino and Caucasian descent.  His father was Jewish and his mother Catholic.   His mixed background has been a common theme in his comedy acts.   Schneider started his stand-up career in high school opening for the popular San Francisco band “Head On,” and was a regular guest on local radio.  An opening slot for Dennis Miller garnered him an appearance on the HBO’s “13th Annual Young Comedians” special also hosted by Miller. The special led him to a coveted position as a writer for SNL in 1988.  Schneider swiftly moved from a writer and featured player to a full cast member with a cast that included Adam Sandler, Chris Rock, David Spade and the late Chris Farley.

After leaving SNL in 1994 Schneider went to roles in film and television including a starring role in the NBC sitcom “Men Behaving Badly,” and starring roles in the feature films DEUCE BIGALOW: MALE GIGOLO, THE ANIMAL, THE HOT CHICK, DEUCE BIGALOW: EUROPEAN GIGALOW, and THE BENCHWARMERS.

Most recently, Schneider launched his first ever podcast “See What Happens,” available on streaming platforms. Hosted by Schneider and his wife Patricia Maya Schneider, the weekly show features guests from the duo’s Hollywood friends to their gardener while dissecting show business, their contrasting parenting methods, jokes, good food, philosophy and more. New episodes begin airing in August.
