Comedy legend Jimmie Walker on his way to Glendale
Stir Crazy series brings 70s icon to the local stage
Jimmie Walker is heading to Glendale as part of Stir Crazy Comedy Club’s Legends of Stand Up Series.
The comedy icon will take the stage at 7 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 17 in the club located at Westgate, 6751 N. Sunset Blvd., Suite E-206.
Rising from the streets of New York’s ghettos to television superstardom, Walker hit the entertainment heights when his catch phrase “Dyn-o-mite!” from the classic TV show “Good Times” became part of the modern vernacular. In the 1970s Time Magazine named him “Comedian of the Decade.”
