Saturday Night Live alum Fred Armisen is coming to Cincinnati this summer.
The actor, comedian, producer and musician will bring his tour, “Comedy is for Musicians but Everyone is Welcome,” to the 20th Century Theater in Oakley on Wednesday, June 25. General tickets go on sale Thursday, March 20 at 10 a.m.
In a review by 365Bristol, Armisen’s show is described as a mix of musings and musical vignettes, marked by Armisen’s understated and cerebral comedic sensibilities. While the show is definitely a comedic performance, musicians will also understand the humor.
“The relaxed, intimate nature of the show was refreshing, and created a real feeling of spontaneity and uniqueness — it felt like Armisen was pulling from a wide array of bits, and it’s unlikely the show is exactly the same on any given tour date,” writes Patrick Bate.
Armisen’s list of credits is long, but he’s best known as an 11-season veteran of SNL, plus as the co-writer and co-star of the IFC hit show, Portlandia. Recently, he’s starred as Uncle Fester in the Netflix show Wednesday, co-wrote and worked as the executive producer on HBO’s Los Espookys and lent his voice to animated movies and shows like Super Mario Bros and Big Mouth. Currently, he’s starring in the Broadway play All In.
