Aziz Ansari Is Going To Make You Laugh

By Marcus Gilmer in Arts & Entertainment on Nov 20, 2008 4:20PM

We dig Aziz Ansari, comedian, actor, and member of comedy troupe Human Giant. And we're not the only ones: Ansari has been tapped to star alongside Rashida Jones and Amy Poehler in a spin-off of The Office that actually isn't a spin-off of The Office. He recently gave a few more details to the Trib, but we're going to be watching it regardless. And if you want to catch Aziz's great stand-up set in person, you're in luck as he's making a stop at the Lakeshore Theater tonight on his Glow in the Dark Tour. There are still a few tickets available for $20 and given how awesome Aziz's performances with Human Giant are, you're not going to want to miss it. But don't just take our word for it: he's got a part in Judd Apatow's upcoming film Funny People. And to prime yourself for his set tonight, tune your radio to 88.3 WZRD as Aziz takes over from 1:30 to 2:30 this afternoon.
