Fred Armisen is heading to Anaheim. The comedian, actor, writer, and musician brings his live show ‘Comedy for Musicians but Everyone is Welcome’ to the Grove of Anaheim on Friday, October 23. Tickets go on sale May 1 at 10 AM via Ticketmaster.
Armisen’s resume is genuinely hard to compress. Eleven seasons on Saturday Night Live. Co-creator and co-star of IFC’s Emmy-nominated Portlandia. Uncle Fester in Netflix’s Wednesday. Co-writer and executive producer of HBO’s Los Espookys. Star, writer, and producer of IFC’s Documentary Now. Broadway. Big Mouth. The Super Mario Bros. Movie. A decade leading the 8G Band on Late Night with Seth Meyers. The range here is real, and it shows up in a live show that draws on all of it.
‘Comedy for Musicians but Everyone is Welcome’ is exactly what it sounds like, a show built around Armisen’s deep obsession with music and the specific absurdity that comes with it, delivered with the kind of deadpan precision that’s made him one of the most distinctive comedic voices working today. It plays for music nerds and casual fans alike, and lands hard either way.
