Comedian Barry Crimmins to Perform at Lawrence Arts Center

Lately, Barry Crimmins has been most visible as a standup comedian...but actually, he's much more. He's worked as an activist, a satirist, an author, a writer for Air America radio, and is the subject of a documentary titled "Call Me Lucky." He's in the area this weekend to tape a comedy special at the Lawrence Arts Center.

Comedian Barry Crimmins is scheduled to perform two shows at the Lawrence Arts Center tomorrow (SAT) night, at 7 pm and at 9:30 pm. Both shows are completely sold out, but the performances are being taped for a direct-to-web special produced by Louis CK.  For more information, visit the Lawrence Arts Center website and BarryCrimmins.com.
