Garrett taking no prisoners

It's always good for the bottom line when Brad Garrett plays his own comedy club, and the big guy will make sure December has a strong finish by playing there Monday through Wednesday.

Be prepared though. "Robert is dead," he usually tells patrons of his "Everybody Loves Raymond" character. Garrett now trades in Don Rickles-style insult humor.

He takes no prisoners on the front row, but doesn't spare himself either: "It's either this or 'Jews on Ice' at the Stratosphere."
