FROM TV’S “GOOD TIMES”
PERFORMING AT THE MESA ARTS CENTER
SATURDAY, MARCH 26, 2011 AT 8:00 PM

Super 70’s Comedian JIMMIE “J.J.” WALKER brings his hilarious comedic talents to the Mesa Arts Center on Saturday, March 26, 2011 at 8:00 PM. JIMMIE WALKER headlined as the main attraction in all the top comedy clubs in 1972 after a series of comedic successes. His skyrocketing popularity prompted Time Magazine to name him "Comedian of the Decade".

His road to success continued as JIMMIE accepted a part in famed producer Norman Lear's new urban-styled comedy series, "Good Times." The role of the strutting, wisecracking J.J. Evans would launch him into television superstardom. "Dyn-o-mite!" was the famous phrase he created that made him a household name. JIMMIE WALKER was the first winner of the NAACP Image Award, and won a Golden Globe nomination for Best Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series. “MR. DYN-O-MITE” himself also appeared on The Merv Griffin Show, Dinah, The Mike Douglas Show, Donny and Marie, The Mac Davis Show, The John Davidson Show , The Hollywood Squares, and the Match Game.

This DYN-O-MITE! show comes to the Mesa Arts Center on Saturday, March 26, 2011 at 8:00 PM, located at One East Main Street, Mesa, AZ 85201. Meet and greet the fabulously funny JIMMIE WALKER after the show as he signs autographs for all his fans!
