Comedy Central's Dave Attell will headline this year's Fall Comedy Show, Entertainment Board co-chairs Anna Sommer and Kelly Wisnewski announced yesterday.
Attell is known both for his work as a stand-up comic and for his Comedy Central series, Insomniac. He will appear in Cohen Auditorium on the evening of Thursday, Nov. 15.
"It was a board decision," Wisnewski said. "We took into account a number of suggestions from the members of the board, and he was the number one choice"
Entertainment Board is still in negotiations to determine who will open the show.
In addition to his stand-up performance, there may be other aspects to Attell's visit. Wisnewski said that a Comedy Central camera crew will be on hand to film his performance. However, she pointed out that "it's as yet to be determined if he's going to do his Insomniac stuff...on campus."
On Insomniac, Attell takes to the streets of various cities after dark, videotaping his discoveries.
Tickets for the Fall Comedy Show go on sale Thursday morning at the Cohen box office. Each ticket costs $3 with a Tufts ID, and there is no limit to the number one can purchase.
