"The Weasel". Movies like "Encino Man", "Son-In-Law", and "In The Army Now". The TBS reality show "Minding The Store". Theses are just a few of the ways you may know comedian Pauly Shore. But if you've never seen him live doing his stand-up, you won't want to miss it when he comes to Louisville's Improv February 26 - 28!

Pauly Shore literally grew up in the comedy circuit in "The Comedy Store" on Hollywood's Sunset Strip which his parents owned, giving their son the rare opportunity to hang out with & be inspired by such rising talents as Robin Williams, David Letterman & the late Sam Kinison, who became his mentor. At 17, Pauly began writing and performing his own material, creating the persona of "The Weasel", a character that quickly appealed to young audiences.

Pauly went on to gain the attention of MTV, which gave him his own show in 1990, "Totally Pauly", running for four years. He has made numerous movies, starred in many TV shows, including a recurring part on the HBO series "Entourage", and received the 2008 Entertainer of the Year Award for the movie "Natural Born Komics", which he produced, directed and starred in.
