As a comic, Bill has toured extensively in North America, performing as a headliner in mainland America, Hawaii and Alaska. He has toured extensively as a headliner at several "Laugh Shops" in Canada, and toured internationally with Jamie Kennedy, doing shows in Hong Kong, the Philippines, and three locations in South Africa - Capetown, Durban, and Johannesburg.

As part of the USO, he has performed for coalition forces in Iraq and Kuwait in front of crowds of over 10,000 international troops at bases in Camp Liberty and Camp Striker.

Currently, Bill is starring in the first play ever produced by the National Football League about the life of Vince Lombardi by Academy-Award winning playwright Eric Simonson. He is in New Zealand before it remounts in September on Broadway.

As an actor on film, he has appeared in dozens of independent films, several of them award-winning, including "Adam," "Evenhand," and "Fiona". He's also had lead roles in two MGM Studio children's films -- "Just for Kicks" and "Recipe for Disaster"; and an acting/writing role in the DVD cult classic "I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell."

On TV, Bill has been on several shows, including hit shows such as "Sex and the City," "Oz," "Law and Order," "Criminal Intent," as well as recurring roles on the shows "Damages," "All My Children," and "One Life to Live."

As a stage actor, Bill has done about 10 Off-Broadway plays. Bill's first role was on Broadway with Sigourney Weaver in the play "Sex and Longing" with Christopher Durang. This was followed by his role starring in and creating the award-winning play "Gross Indecency" with Moises Kaufman.

As a writer, Bill has been published in several magazines and is the resident blogger for the Laugh Factory in the United States on the Laughfactory.com website. An hour comedy special he wrote for Jamie Kennedy, "Uncomfortable," will be seen on Showtime this fall.

This event will be held in the Clubhouse Sports Bar at the Cambridge Raceway.
