It's not surprising that actor, writer, director and comedian Rob Schneider, typically acquainted with his zany starring roles in films like Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo (and its sequel Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo), The Animal and The Hot Chick, among others, started out doing stand-up. But what is surprising is that he never got the chance to headline his own comedy tour, as he was snatched up by Saturday Night Live -- where he worked as a writer and cast member -- just at the brink of stardom. To date, Schneider's steady work behind the camera (some of his upcoming projects include Grown Ups, You May Not Kiss The Bride and The Chosen One) could earn him a title like cinema gigolo, but his recent penetration into stand-up -- including his headlining tour, which stops into Lake Norman Comedy Zone on May 17 -- (and, of course, his re-occurring roles as a goof) makes comedy gigolo a more appropriate title. With Jeff Richards. $30. 7 p.m. and 9:30 p.m. shows. Galway Hooker, 17044 Kenton Drive, Cornelius. 704-621-6373. www.lkncomedyzone.com.
