George Lopez to play Morrison Center

Submitted by Michael Deeds on Thu, 05/15/2008 - 5:09pm.

Go figure. Now that Boise doesn't have a comedy club, we start getting a bunch of comedians.

Actually, Boise should have a comedy club open by the time Mexican-American comic George Lopez performs waaaaay down the road at the Morrison Center: Nov. 23. It's a confirmed concert. I'll post ticket information when I have it.

Lopez is a big name in comedy. Until recently, he starred in his own ABC sitcom, “George Lopez,” which now airs in reruns on cable channel Nickelodeon.

Update: Tickets will go on sale in late August or early September, according to the Morrison Center.

I can be assured most of the posters won't be there to bug us!

Already cancelled due to illness

What gets me is the prices these comedians charge to get in. You think that with what you pay, you'd get a Pink Floyd light show as well. There's no band or crew members to share the profits with, yet getting in costs as much as seeing some classic rock band. It's just a man or a woman onstage with a stool and a glass of water.

So you diss that he's an writer with an intellectual property?

And then you pass over the 'one-man show'.

They all have staff to pay and those guys need more than drive-thru.

Should he play the library?

As long as the library serves beer...

Sounds like a plan, as much as I love comedy I do find it difficult to spend the money for something that I can also catch on dvd. I do understand the whole economics of the thing, I just personally choose more music events than comedy.
But, Dane Cook is not funny.
Bet that will set someone off !

Who is DANE COOK?
