Dr. Kevin Fitzgerald, “The hardest working veterinarian in show business!” You may know Dr Kevin Fitzgerald as the star of Animal Planet’s “Emergency Vets”, but there is much more to him than what has been seen on television. In addition to his duties as a full-time veterinarian and a large number of speaking engagements on the lecture circuit, Dr Fitzgerald has also been performing stand-up comedy on an almost nightly basis since 1986. He is a regular at the famed Comedy Works in Denver, one of the top ten clubs in the country. His rapid paced, one-liner style, combined with his ability to entertain without offending, have made him a highly requested act at clubs, colleges and corporate events throughout the country. Prior to attending vet school, Kevin was a bouncer for none other than The Rolling Stones. In fact he was on tour with the band when he had a conversation with Keith Richards regarding his future. “When someone like Keith Richard’s tells you to go back to school and make something of yourself you listen”. Kevin did. The rest is history. Now when Kevin works a concert it is either as a headline comedian or as the opening act for bands like The Neville Brothers, Emmy Lou Harris, The Corrs and The Temptations to name a few. He has appeared at such prestigious venues as The Grand ‘Ol Opry and The House of Blues. You may also have seen him on NBC’s Nightly News with Tom Brokaw, The Maury Povich Show, A&E’s Comedy on the Road, TNN’s Crooke and Chase or as host of HBO’s “Women of the Night”. He has also been featured on top-rated, nationally syndicated radio shows including Howard Stern and Paul Harvey.
