Bill Devlin (comedian, actor and writer) was born and raised in St. Paul Minnesota. The youngest of eight children in an Irish Catholic community, serves as fodder in a good deal of Devlin's reservoir of comedy. In addition to touring around the country, Bill has also performed stand up comedy at all the major comedy clubs in Southern California. He appears, hosts and produces shows regularly at the world famous Hollywood Improv Comedy Club and The Jon Lovitz Comedy Club. Devlin's long running Comedy & Cocktails with Bill Devlin show has featured comedy greats Chris Rock, Jerry Seinfeld, Margaret Cho and Drew Carey just to name a few.

He wrote a first person story of the experience, exclusive to the Los Angeles Times, which was featured on the front page of the calendar section.
