Gilbert Gottfried is one of the comedy world’s most recognizable voices. Literally.

Gottfried has been working as a standup since his teens, and in addition to a life spent in comedy clubs, he has been a fixture on screen, from SNL and Letterman to Aladdin, Problem Child and his scene-stealing sets at Comedy Central’s celebrity roasts.

Gottfriedbrings his ribald standup act to our region this weekend, when he takes the stage at the Paramount Theatre in Middletown Saturday at 8.
