Standup comic Bret Ernst at Rocky Gap Casino

Jul. 16—Laughter and live music combine at Rocky Gap Casino Resort throughout July.

Comedian Bret Ernst will perform at Bonkerz Comedy Club at 8 p.m. July 27. Born and raised in New Jersey, Ernst was one of four comedians featured in "Wild West Comedy Show: 30 Days and 30 Nights — Hollywood to the Heartland." He has appeared on TV shows such as "Comedy Central Presents," "The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson" and "Weeds," and has a recurring role on Netflix's hit series "Cobra Kai."

Ernst's jokes are rooted in storytelling, giving the audience an inside look at the life of a typical North Jersey Italian kid in the '80s.
