Gallagher Returns to Los Angeles Stage, Minus the Sledgehammer

Even though comedian Gallagher has a home in Los Angeles, his performance at downtown’s Club Nokia on Wednesday night was his first local appearance in a decade. The 64-year-old still tours constantly, at a clip of about 200 shows per year, but he told FishbowlLA after the show that on stage at least, “for whatever reason, I’m just not an LA kind of guy.”

There were no watermelons, sledgehammers or wacky costume changes. Just a stand-up comic chiseling away at the huge bank of observational humor now at his disposal.
