Two Tickets to a very funny show Friday, June  7th, 8 PM at the Fitzgerald.

Wits™ is a new weekly national public radio show from American Public Media and Minnesota Public Radio that brings world-class comedians, actors and musicians to the stage of the Fitzgerald Theater, where host John Moe gives them and the audience the time of their lives. 

Hannibal Buress has made prime-time appearances on Louie and on 30 Rock, and he’s worked as a writer for 30 Rock and Saturday Night Live. Chris Rock says Hannibal is “the funniest young comic [he’s] seen in years.” Hannibal released his debut comedy album, My Name Is  Hannibal, in 2010. His latest Comedy Central special is Hannibal Buress: Animal Furnace.

The LA Times calls Open Mike Eagle “one of LA’s smartest young voices.” He has released three albums and has collaborated with P.O.S. and MC Paul Barman.  Mike has also bridged rap and comedy, rapping at shows by some of our favorite comedians, including Paul F. Tompkins and Hannibal Buress.

Show starts at 8:00 p.m., but the party starts early. Come at 7:00 for the tweet-up happy hour. Drinks are half-price until 7:30. A Current DJ will be spinning tunes, barter  box bargainers will be ready to make an unexpected trade, and we'll have Twitter tutors helping out anyone who needs a little digital support.
