Male Stand-up Comedian of the Year -- 1992
The key to any entertainer's success is the ability to connect with an
audience. That quality has made Bill Engvall one of the country's top
comedians.
His act encompasses insightful material on a wide range of topics that
include kids, family life and animals. However, it is his "Here's Your Sign"
signature routine that has garnered him national attention and that his audiences
particularly remember and love.

While the stand-up stage has had its own rewards, he also has enjoyed
the television stage. He played "Bill Pelton" on NBC's "The
Jeff
Foxworthy
Show." On the show, Bill and Jeff were life-long friends who become reunited
when Jeff moves back to an Atlanta suburb with his family. Bill is no stranger to Jeff.
Both have performed on the road together, filling arenas and theatres across the country.
A native of Galveston, Texas, Bill moved to Dallas and was working as a
disc jockey at a nightclub when he decided to try his hand at stand-up comedy. Although he
originally planned to be a teacher, he soon found that making people laugh was really his
forte. He moved to Los Angeles to pursue film and television opportunities.
Although he loves television roles, Bill says he would never give up
performing live. "When you are doing stand-up live, you achieve an intimacy with the
audience you can't get on TV," he says. "There's not a better feeling in the
world than when you look out and see the audience is identifying with you. It's wonderful.
It's nice when people come up to you and say 'I was having a bad day and you made it
worthwhile.' There are enough problems in everyday life. If you can come to my show for an
hour and just enjoy life again, then I've done my job."
In 1992 Bill Engvall was nominated for and won the American
Comedy Award for Best Male Stand-up Comedian.
